5 Toxic Productivity Myths Burning You Out (How to Escape)

The Hustle Trap

You’ve been called ‘hustle goals’… but inside, you’re drowning. 😰 Swipe to break free. 

The ‘Always On’ Myth 

Stanford study: Nonstop work shrinks creativity by 34%. Rest isn’t lazy—it’s smart. 

Hustle ≠ Success 

Harvard research: Overworkers make 40% more errors. ‘Harder’ ≠ ‘better. 

The Productivity Lie 

Your worth ≠ your output. Time to redefine success. 

Digital Boundaries 

Set auto-replies: ‘I’m offline until 9 AM.’ Your sanity > their urgency. 

Rest as Resistance 

Science says: *Naps boost problem-solving by 50%*. Rebel with a siesta. 

Checklist 

1. Delete 1 hustle-culture app (LinkedIn, hustleTok). 2. Block 2 hours/week for unproductive joy (doodling, stargazing).
