One social norm that could be reconsidered is the expectation to always be “busy” or productive. In many cultures, there’s a strong emphasis on constant productivity, often equating busyness with worthiness. This can lead to burnout, stress, and a lack of work-life balance. Instead, promoting the value of rest, leisure, and prioritizing mental health could foster a healthier society where people feel empowered to take breaks and recharge without guilt.
