The 4 myths that perpetuate toxic productivity, according to a psychotherapist
Briefly

Toxic productivity leads us to prioritize production over our basic human needs, resulting in habits like perfectionism, overcommitting, and isolation, driving a never-satisfied mindset.
We measure personal value by how today's production can aid future productivity, creating a cycle of pressure that diminishes the meaning behind even our proudest accomplishments.
We are inundated with messages to "rise and grind" that reinforce the belief that self-worth is tied to constant achievement, leading to dissatisfaction.
Toxic productivity varies among individuals, but common foundational beliefs—influenced by familial and cultural messages—create a pervasive myth that one's value is solely based on output.
