"Routine is the enemy of time."

Like most things, productivity isn't inherently good or bad, but when it becomes an endless competition with others and stress leaves us continually feeling burnout and unmotivated, surely our societal norms have gone amiss somewhere along the way? In this episode, Lucy discusses her thoughts and experiences with toxic productivity, hustle culture and burnout, offers some advice for reducing stress and being more mindful as well as chatting about the problems with our capitalist mindsets. 

According to research by the Mental Health Foundation, 1 in 6 of us will experience a mental health problem in any given week, with the number 1 cause of this being work-related stress- so it's clearly an important topic to talk about. Know that you're not alone if you feel stressed, anxious or low and please chat to a loved one about how you're feeling or seek professional help. Lots of love.
