Toxic productivity means feeling like we must always be busy, even if it hurts our health. Many people today are overworked and feel pressure to work long hours. Social media, perfectionism, and fear of falling behind increase this pressure. The pandemic made it worse because people worked more to feel in control. AI may help save time, but it can also raise new questions about how we measure work. Many workers suffer from too many meetings and low motivation.
