I cannot agree more with this. After almost dying a couple times, I've come to see the "must be learning constantly" mindframe as utterly toxic. Expanding your skillsets is great! But it's mind-boggling how many people I know who feel genuine guilt over simply relaxing and enjoying life, art, friends, family, etc.

Slacking off and not getting necessary things done is terribly self-destructive. But so is cramming "learning", "goals", and "growth" into literally every second of your day.

Hey, just wanted to say I really needed to hear this.

I occasionally overwhelm myself with all of this stuff to learn, read, listen, do, and it takes a mental toll on me.

There is just so much out there, but we can't do it all.
