I can sort of see your point if it is truly effecting your ability to be get work done on time, but I’m also not sure how I feel about the implication that doing something other than work - particularly watching a highly educational documentary- is unproductive and not worthwhile. Learning (especially if you enjoy it!) is always worthwhile. Also, learning is sort of the basis for productivity is it not? Running yourself into the ground is also not good for long-term productivity. If you get your shit done on time, you get it done on time. Who gives a fuck what you do in the meantime?

The whole productivity mindset of getting as much done as you can at all times is insane to me. How do you have time to feel happy and relaxed if all you’re doing is beating yourself up for not being “productive enough”? When is productivity too productive?
