[@AmandaFreitas1998]

@Celine Jalalifar You basically described my life LOL my parents were also against a year break but I needed it so much at that time, I was burnt out, stressed, depressed, my first year of university was trash because of that (and other reasons too). This mindset that taking a gap year is laziness and a waste of time is so toxic

[@ceejay8981]

Good for you knowing what you need and taking action. My HS senior is taking a gap year. She knew that her grades would suffer because she needs a break. Her dad and I support her decision. It’s important to learn at an early age to know what by our body and mental health need. You have your whole life ahead of you. Take that time with no guilt! Good luck to you!

I just wanted to say thank you for doing research and bringing this topic to us. When I started highschool, I had major self-shame issues when it came to relaxing. Even if I had NOTHING to do for school, chores, or literally anything, I would feel incredibly guilty for relaxing. It was emotionally draining. Years later, I still occasionally struggle with this, but I have been getting a lot better. This week has been insane for me, and I started falling back into the toxic mindsets I had earlier in high school. This video honestly really helped reset my thought process.

We still can't go out of our houses cause covid is really bad here in India so I can't really do much. My parents are no help to me. We have these national level exams (boards) that ever sophmore and senior has to give. I am currently a sophmore in high school which means I'll have these exams in 2022. My parents constantly force me to study and scold me for being unproductive. What they don't see is I'm trying hard to even think straight. I keep getting these random outbursts and panic attacks but all my parents want is for me too study the whole day thanks to this "productivity culture" I'm so happy someone finally addressed it. More people need to see this!

Your body’s asking for it for a reason

[@catalinacruz7801]

Thank you for making this video. I spent 4 years in a toxic workplace where I was forced to look busy at all times, every assignment was an emergency, and they interrupted my vacations. It’s taken going to a new job, new job getting interrupted by Covid, and working part time to now full time for me to shift into a healthier way of thinking and to shed my old habits. Here, my boss cares if I get a break, doesn’t mind if I’m a few minutes late since I work hard, and I get an apology if I’m contacted on my day off. There are jobs out there that treat you well, and your worth is not tied to your productivity.

i agree with this comment but i just want to state that productivity culture and hustle culture are 2 very different things. hustle culture are like the people forcing everyone to start a small business, invest in stocks/money making things, if you’re not making money at all points in time then that’s not good, being your own boss, putting yourself through the struggle physically and mentally just to work and get money when you personally don’t even need to do that etc. productivity culture is what hannah is speaking about in this video which is like waking up early to go to the gym, cooking your own homemade meal, working all day, then taking a run, doing more work, then going to sleep early barely spending any time to relax each and every day. not trying to be rude or anything!

Thanks for bringing it out!! During quarantine people were competing about who is more productive, and I was like "what the fuck???", the world is basically ruining, we're in the middle of a pandemic and people were posting on their instagram about how productive they are! That kinda of posts made me felt like shit, cuz I had a lot of college stuff delayed and accumulated just because I didn't have the strength to do all of that.

Thank you for talking about this!!! Hustle culture/productivity culture is so prevalent in academics and has caused me to believe that none of my academic efforts are good enough. I feel like both concepts can be detrimental because we can begin to think, “oh, I don’t deserve to be tired”, “I don’t deserve to be praised” because our efforts weren’t “good” enough, “productive” enough, “successful” enough.

This is something I think about and struggle with every day. Productivity versus procrastination is a hard line that I often fall to the latter side of. When I space out my time I am way more productive, thoughtful, and mindful of my work, health, and home. If I procrastinate in one area too long the crash is a disaster. I think one thing that has helped me a lot is setting firm boundaries within my life so I don't compare myself to others. Hannah, you've actually helped me a lot with this. Yes it is natural to see a thing and want to do or have that thing. But it is important (at least for me) that I understand where I am at in my life and how I am doing the things I need to do in order to make my life function. It is a very personal thing to have a good mindset about your own life and I'm very thankful you are so open and vulnerable about your experiences. You are real. No matter how pretty the pictures and videos are. You show your viewers a good understanding of the reality of working hard and treating yourself with care.

[@taylordavidsen4610]

The idea that really stuck with me is that productivity culture has made it basically impossible for us to relax. I’m on vacation currently and all I can think about is work when I get back & how I should at least be reading a book or something to stay productive (basically not just lay around). And I’m on a resort in Arizona!! That’s what resorts are made for. It’s crazy. It’s so embedded in my mindset, that I literally can’t relax on vaca. So toxic and I hope that this culture ends soon.

I just got to the part where you're talking about the study with Italy. I'm not Italian, however I am from Europe and lived in multiple European countries. I believe we do have a similar issue with productivity culture here, however it is expressed somewhat differently. It is expected that you work perfectly all the time, so that you are having leisure time. This goes so far that you need to prove you've been productive in order for your leisure activities to be recognised as a "reward". Which in turn makes it stressful because you get trapped in a cycle of "did I work enough to 'openly' have a break right now?"

this is so fascinating to me as well - I hope to do more hands on things with mental well being and all as a psych major - but I also find it fascinating how focused we as a culture are on productivity culture AND self care culture. it's so so bizarre to me to see both, let alone a single creator, praise both sides. self care is a very loose term that can mean many things to everyone, but it's generally accepted as like a period of rest, taking care of yourself, etc. what's even more bizarre to me is entwining both of these cultures are shown by a specific creator (btw to hate to either or any creators specifically), showing both being productive and doing things on their to do lists - but also managing to squeeze the time for self care at the end. I love that you had this conversation - you went well in details! 🥰

im the kinda of person who wants to and look to be productive ALL THE TIME. guys,i can't even sleep,all these toxics thoughts are affecting my sleep bc i feel bad if im sleeping. i feel really bad. i just wanted to go to a place where i can feel free from myself and this ideal. don't put yourself in a situation like this,pls,go get some help if you're like that!

Hannah, you're very right! Everyone needs to hear this message in your video because they can get a new perspective. All people need to learn to rest, because in the long run it won’t work, as he put it, if a person doesn’t rest, their body will force it, but then the emergency brake will have to be applied. For me, this video have this message that should work, but only in moderation. Thanks for making this video! Have a nice day!

Productivity culture: my exams are finally over, and I can do nothing buuuut no. I feel like I HAVE to do something, it’s a very weird feeling. I can’t watch a series or youtube videos like that, I’m just like: “be more productive” It’s exhausting

"You either take time for yourself to rest or life will force you to take time for you to rest." I am really unproductive and KZbin recommends me to watch the newest upload and let Hannah defines about this productivity thingy. This is the rest I need and a reminder that my body is literally screaming for me to rest. Thank you for this TedTalk, Hannah! Ur always the best!

I enjoyed this videos. It was informative and very honest. I’m currently in hospital (cancer 🥴) and I worry that I can’t be productive and it makes me feel bad but I know that I have to focus on rest so that eventually I can be healthy enough to work

you have no idea how much i needed this video. im getting therapy abt this sh*t bc i failed a lot of things during my life and since i could achieve something I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT I WAS ABLE TO DO THAT PERFECTLY. I always said "i should have do more and more" but nowadays im getting better about not being productive :) thank you hannah for awareness raising to everyone who have to deal with this situation :>
