Quite surprised you're this young cause your words speaks volume.

context switching applied here. I mean a few months with burnout or few with peace

Welll that's a very personal and valuable realization, but calling "productivity a scam" might be a bit strong. For many, intense effort isn't about looking cool; it's about necessity, breaking through, or sheer ambition. Not everyone has the luxury of cutting down to 3 hours a day, especially when starting out or facing tough competition. The grind can be vital for skill acquisition and achieving escape velocity, not just burnout. It's about finding your balance, but the hard work itself often remains a critical ingredient for success.

well written, but the thing is are you getting done what is needed , then everything is fine , you can rest do whatever you want to do with rest of the time but get the work done first , gets easier when you are focused

i will earn 5L/month with burnout for a few years, invest the money, retire and chill. burnout now, chill later

but for a developing nation like us there is no substitute for hard work if everyone starts doing smart work our nation will only stagnate

that's the point sis 👉

very well written...

That's really true peace is the only thing mankind needs.

Sudharja re bawari... let everyone follow their own path . viswamitra ki lyf me menka banne ki jarurat na he . concentrate on ur studies dear.

being in meetings is the fake busy and productive culture, people don't work, they play passing the pass in MNCs and there are actually only few people who actually work in company

i agree that being busy will not mean that you doing great or whatever you thinks, focus on being productive but if the question that will raise in the bed that what would you like 'earning 1 lakh per month peacefully or earn 5 lakh in one month and what work till at your ass off then I would preferred to earn that much and burnout because then I can have decades of rest after working for for few year's and you where all working peacefully under a company' who's owner where resting and chilling after years burnout and enjoying! 😉

There's a book called deep work by Cal Newport and he has described this in much more details I would definitely recommend you to read it if you want to go deep

Productivity is "to be" , not "to do". End. ( Wrong question frames , Wrong answer frames ... Because of this one confusion )
