One can also be productive for themselves :P the mind can also frame it that way. Sometimes it's true, sometimes it's burnout cope

Man, the most valuable time is time spent on yourself, anyone who says otherwise is a moron.

To me, it isn't a waste. Nothing is. I am a super productive person, whether I am moving or not. The biggest manifestation starts in a still mind.

How do you deal with the mental framing, that 'rest is productive' when it feels like wasting away valuable hours

For me, I have learned that rest is productive.
