alt Hacker NewsI hate that in our modern world, we are obsessed with being "productive". Why is this important? Why do we punish ourselves for being "unproductive"? Maybe we should try and spend as much of our time in things that are unproductive or unquantifiable as possible. Is having a relaxing afternoon the beach "productive"?
We've lost our ability to just "be". We must always "do". A sad state of affairs.
Maybe it’s feels important/necessary as it can give a feeling of control.
Things are uncertain(were they ever certain?), every day there is another armageddon prophecy screaming at you from social media and newspapers.
So one can try to hedge, squeeze more out of oneself to make sure he did all he could.
