Modern Society Has Destroyed the Meaning of Productivity

We’ve forgotten the actual point of work

9 to 5 of desk-glued eye strain for a meager paycheck. 5 to 9 of beer-clinking, doom-scrolling, sleep deprivation, and misery.

Rinse and repeat.

Throw “hustle” and “productivity” into the mix — 9 to 5 becomes 8 to 6. Coffees replace the beers.

A side hustle fattens the paycheck. Self-help binge-watching/listening replaces social doom-scrolling.

The same old misery.
