People have the choice:
- They can say that dealing with "politics" is a waste of time and they'd rather be productive.
- They can show a genocide victim some empathy and receive answers like this.At the end of 2026, when people will share their "Spotify Wrapped" again and "reflect back on their year", they can write in their diary that they listened to 52 audiobooks this year at 2x speed.
I will have a folder on my computer with screenshots of messages of love like this one.
No matter whether I'll be 40, 50, 60, 70, or 80 years old and look back on those screenshots, I will feel so much more than any of these "productive" folks who can't remember the plot of a single audiobook they listened to at 2x speed.

Let’s End Toxic Productivity -
Yesterday I spent a long time having fun playing #aranockonline. I want to do it today again, but the weird guilt of #toxicproductivity (maybe it's something else?) makes me feel #disinterested and #avoidant. Also it's very #hot in this house outside the room with the AC. I might make a tanky char to complement my #mage. Maybe I could get my partner to help me complete some labyrinths that I will struggle to solve alone. But it can also be a lot of work to get a char going, so idk. I'm feeling sorta #sleepy after #therapy. The therapist referred me to some #ADHD assessment places. I didn't bring it up before because I'm afraid of being one of the people who are hunting for some trendy diagnosis. I know I emailed them just like 40 minutes ago and it's #lunch break and they're probably booked like a month out, but I'm #impatient for a response. ⌚😮💨

I am proud of myself today for telling my managing colleagues that I had reached the limits of my capacity two weeks before a deadline rather than stressing and burning out and not being able to meet it anyway.
Major course revisions, end of interstate audition tour, finalisation of 2023 course offers, semester results, 2023 department budgets, and end of year celebrations all fall in the same week and something had to give...
Listening to the Academic Aunties podcast episode on toxic productivity yesterday really helped.
