I hear this loud and clear after both spinal fusion surgeries. This is the "work ethic" going haywire, engaging when it's the least appropriate. Thank you for this writing.

Ahhhh Brenda, how right you are. This is the pushing, striving, achievement-oriented productivity culture that gets beat into us in the workplace. And we unknowingly carry it into our day-to-day lives not understanding the damage it is doing. Did I ever learn this the hard way. Sigh.
