Distraction Disguised as Productivity

I’ve started to notice how often I call my distractions “being productive.” When I don’t want to deal with something, I stay busy — like, constantly. Music, podcasts, scrolling, projects, plans. It feels like I’m doing something, but really, I’m just avoiding stillness. In this episode, I talk about how busyness can be a coping mechanism, how we use productivity to numb what we don’t want to feel, and what happens when we finally stop running.
