    The more I read, the more this sounds like toxic productivity. It’s okay to have downtime. It’s okay to just relax. It’s okay to have hobbies that aren’t entirely focused on health or mental wellbeing. It’s okay to occasionally indulge hedonic tendencies like porn. Hell, most doctors say that jorkin it a few times a week helps keep things healthy.

    Maintaining this kind of lifestyle will likely result in burnout sooner or later.

      What part of all this is toxic? Who said I don’t have hedonistic tendencies?

      I watch porn. I just waste several hours a week on it. Trust me, I’m going to keep watching porn. I just want to timeblock it a little better, improving my relationship with it.

      Maintaining this kind of lifestyle will likely result in burnout sooner or later.

      Which ones exactly do you think contribute to burnout? Because as I read through it, I can’t think of a single one that does. Maybe journaling if you do it every single day (I don’t).

      It’s okay to work on yourself too. Nothing toxic about anything they said. Stop trying to discourage people from working on themselves.
