Despite a global pandemic, the intense pressures to stay productive remains. Burnout has become second nature to many of my peers. We ask each other, “How are you doing?,” and we respond, jokingly, “exhausted,” “burnt-out,” “depressed.” We laugh, move on, and then continue to work.
Courtney Cassidy writes: “Productivity addiction, like other types of addictions, is a coping mechanism. It’s a habit formed to ward off emotional distress that gets louder when the mind gets quieter; a habit that can go on for a while before realizing you are actually suffering. But eventually, working hard on terms that don’t feel naturally good leaves little space for reflection, and no time to refocus.”
This useless website was created to do mostly nothing. It moves a bit slowly. It takes its time. But perhaps, while looking at it, you too can slow down a bit, maybe you can sit with yourself for a moment. Maybe you can rest.
