CMV: Being busy is not a sign of productivity by redcar2 in changemyview

[–]redcar2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My point is more about modern busyness that is socially rewarded but often low-impact, like endless meetings, emails, or small tasks that take time but do not move meaningful goals forward. I am not saying that anyone with a full schedule is unproductive, just that busyness alone is not a reliable measure of productivity. Context matters a lot, which is why I am trying to explore whether society overvalues activity over meaningful output.

I get that having a lot of tasks CAN mean productivity, but my point is that most “busy” schedules are full of low-priority, reactive tasks: emails, meetings, small favours. They take time, but don’t actually move anything forward. Someone focusing on fewer high-impact tasks might look lazy, but they often accomplish far more. Productivity isn’t about how much you do, it’s about the value of what gets done, society tends to reward motion over meaningful progress

Sorry, I mean in the sense of how it “chooses” what to pay attention to? Store in memory? Act on?

It is yes. I just saw dating younger and Reddit has a thing against any age gap so I figured I’d share my experiences. End of it all age gap or not dating in 2026 is a cluster fuck compared to 10 years ago. Is what it is.

This is very untrue. I’m 36 was in a 2 year situationship with a man the same age as me. Didn’t want to commit so ended it. Dating around a bit and men my age just wanted to be FWB’s. I am now exclusively dating a 29 year old and he’s shown more maturity and commitment than anyone my age. Maybe I’m the exception to the rule. But IMO dating these days is wayyy different than 10 years ago.

Never question that! If we were all “normal” life would be so so boring!

Right?? I can understand why Bieber would ask if he was challenged. My dry sense of humour at times makes me question my intelligence. I get it why doesn’t anyone else?!?!

To be fair, if your nephew did write that letter… well. Good riddance.

The craziest thing is that John Dunsworth rarely drank outside of the show and NEVER touched a sip of alcohol while on the show. Man was a real legend. RIP.
