      I sometimes find myself thinking that I need to fit as much as I can into my day. And if I don’t, it’s been a bit of a failure. But I don’t think this is healthy, and I don’t think it’s what I really want. I have had this idea that productivity = good, but isn’t that some hustle culture crap that I’ve been indoctrinated into. Surely everything is productive to some extent … even resting.
