Brené Brown on productivity and self-worth

I’m currently reading Dare to Lead (Brown, 2018) and this made me think:

When worthiness is a function of productivity, we lose the ability to pump the brakes. The idea of doing something that doesn’t add to the bottom line provokes stress and anxiety. It feels completely contrary to what we believe we want to achieve in life—we convince ourselves that downtime, like playing with our kids, hanging out with our partners, napping, tooling around in the garage, or going for a run is a waste of precious time. Why sleep when you can work?

Although I’m not a workaholic, I do see myself in some of these points.
I need to work on that.
