Our culture is obsessed with being productive. However research shows that "workaholism" doubles the risk of depression and anxiety, as well as leading to sleep problems, shortened attension spans which actually lowers productivity and decreases work preformance.
We are taught that to achieve sucess and hapiness in our culture we have to look ahead. Instead of focusing on being happy in the moment we are encouraged to spend most of our time working with the belief that one day it will pay off. Instead we are left with the constant disatisfaction that there is alway more to be done

Research show that scheduling time away from work such as excersise, walks in nature and total absorbtion in a hobby that's unrelated to work can lead to a higher level of wellbeing.
