I'm glad this resonated with you, Jeremie. You're right, it is toxic. Our work can be a meaningful part of our lives without being our whole identity or sole pursuit in life.
Maybe we’ve become so used to being constantly busy that when we’re not, we panic and assume something is wrong or falling apart. But the truth is that sometimes the absence of tasks is actually a sign that we’re ahead of schedule and have done things well.
I absolutely love this Afton.
We are so conditioned to attach our worth to our output. This is the way society wants us to live... if you don't produce, you are useless.
It's such TOXIC environment and way of thinking.
I've very happy you were able to reframe things and made a conscious effort to redefine what work and life look like for you.

My thoughts exactly. It has become unnatural for us not to be running from task to task.
