this is not impressive
✕ working late every night
✕ bragging about being exhausted
✕ never having time for anything
✕ confusing stress with importance
being constantly busy usually means poor systems, weak boundaries,
or reacting instead of deciding.
suffering isn’t proof you’re valuable.
this actually is impressive
✓ finishing meaningful work efficiently
✓ controlling your schedule
✓ having energy after work
✓ resting without feeling guilty
real productivity looks calm.
when everything feels urgent, nothing actually is.
so what’s the point?
being busy is easy. clarity is hard. stop glorifying burnout. start valuing work that fits inside a life.
