I agree. It's hard to break out of the cycle, especially when you work a 9-5 (or similar) job and have to critically think throughout the day.

It's really hard to break through that especially in a system that incentivizes mass consumption, and arguably preys on it (addictive social media, food, etc...). I think it's about finding something meaningful, or building meaningful relationships, and harvesting the fruits of that labor. I think if you always try to be creative and produce something, not only will you get burned out but life will just pass you by. We should stop and smell the roses, not consume them.
