  • Summary

  • Our society places a lot of pressure on "achievements" in a very limiting way, and the value placed in a limited definition of "productivity" can be alienating and emotionally destructive for those of us with chronic conditions who cannot perform tasks in this way. We need to re-learn how we view "productivity", place the focus on how we *spend our time* whether or not a task gets done. 

    In this episode I discuss my own struggles with this "Productivity Myth" this week as I try and 'kondo' my clothes and it takes so much longer than I anticipate, as we can do when we forget to adjust to our limitations, and be kind to ourselves in our thinking. 

    Also continuing on my quest for media representation of chronic illness - talking about Dr House on a skateboard, the wonderful Jameela Jamil, and Stacey (Mallory?!) from the Babysitter's Club. Also She-ra again because...it's sublime and I heart it. #TeamCatradora
