Understanding Toxic Productivity

Toxic productivity creates a cycle of mindless busyness, where individuals perform tasks without questioning their necessity or value. This often stems from a fear of inadequacy, perfectionism, and the belief that only one can accomplish certain tasks effectively. Individuals may fall into the trap of doing things out of shame or obligation, which leads to a lack of self-reflection on the reasons behind their actions. To break free from this cycle, it is essential to carve out time for reflection and ask why certain tasks are done and if they are truly fulfilling.
