most if not all issues related to "productivity" related to burn-out & depression. Period.

And guess what creates burnout and depression? The culture of hyperproductivity and hustle. Surprise.

for me burnout and depression stems from not having anything useful to do because of lack of an appropriate work context.

You're both right. Much despair stems from being assigned an infinite quantity of meaningless toil.
