This is a great thread: 'productive and unproductive are two sides of the same coin'. Also a great article by Patrick Freyne, which is part of an important literature of disillusionment about work in the C21 (Graeber's 'bullshit jobs', post-work, after work ...)
This is a very good article.
The past few years I have been publishing about two books a year. But I am always so surprised when I hear people describing me as hardworking or productive, because the image I have of my self is of a very lazy person who spends SO MUCH time doing nothing. 🧵
