Productivity Became a Measure of Human Worth
One of the biggest changes in modern society is that productivity is no longer just something people do.
It has become part of identity.
People now unconsciously measure themselves through output.
How much did I achieve today? How productive was I? Did I waste time? Am I ahead of others? Am I growing fast enough?
As a result, many people feel guilty whenever they are not producing something measurable.
Rest becomes uncomfortable.
Silence becomes anxiety.
Stillness feels unproductive.
Even hobbies are now expected to become:
- businesses,
- side hustles,
- personal brands,
- monetizable skills.
The world has become so achievement-oriented that people often forget human beings are not machines designed for permanent output.
