Productivity
fromSilicon Canals

Many work late to avoid confronting uncomfortable emotions, not just to be productive.

6 days agoI retired with a full pension, a paid-off house, and children who love me - and spent the first winter understanding that I had confused being needed with being alive, and had no idea how to be the second thing without the first - Silicon Canals
Retirement can lead to an identity crisis when one's sense of self is tied to their work.
Retirement
fromSilicon Canals
1 week agoPsychology says the grief that follows retirement isn't about losing your job - it's about the self that only existed inside the job, the one who was competent and needed and clearly defined, and that self doesn't retire when you do, it simply loses the only environment that was ever capable of calling it into existence - Silicon Canals
Retirement challenges identity, as losing a job often means losing a coherent sense of self.
Relationships

Mental health
fromSilicon Canals
2 weeks agoI didn't learn how to rest until I got sick enough that my body stopped giving me a choice, and the terrifying part wasn't the illness. It was discovering I had no idea who I was without momentum. - Silicon Canals
Rest is essential for identity and well-being, contrary to the belief that productivity defines self-worth.
Mental health
fromSilicon Canals
1 week agoI recently understood that the tiredness I had been blaming on everything else - the job, the age, the schedule, the season - was not tiredness at all, it was the specific and sustained effort of living a life that wasn't quite mine, and the moment I understood that the exhaustion had a name it became possible, for the first time, to do something about it - Silicon Canals
Exhaustion often stems from emotional labor and the effort to maintain a false persona rather than physical demands of work.
Productivity
