What is this phenomenon where everyone is so industrious, so overworked, sleep deprived and unable to manage a reasonable proportion of downtime? We are in a cycle of surviving over thriving. I blame social media, being accessible 24/7, having the threat of AI reducing our highly skilled work to mediocrity and making our professions, property law and architecture, redundant.
Am I the only one who feels like a hamster on the perpetual wheel never getting ahead with any of my burgeoning list of tasks? The challenge is to balance productivity with purpose, finding reward in our work and seeing the bigger picture in a world of constant change.
