As I am reading the first sentence, then the second sentence I recognize this person and could feel the angst by the time the first paragraph was final. Productivity is our new fuel and breeds badges of honor. If we are not doing something every single day we feel less than, we feel guilty, but why? I suffer the same, overcommitting, overworking, overplanning, over, over over until I am over it! All of it leads to a compulsive obsessive culture that is rewarded for the dysfunctioned overwork and left to feel guilty in the quiet moments. Our 24/7 culture has bred this mentality and it is only our own discipline to shut it all down that can save our quality of life. Brilliant piece.
