For me at least I feel like there's a difference between being unproductive due to doomscrolling $socialMedia and being unproductive due to a more 'traditional' way of "wasting" (as in not being productive) time. Spending time on a grassfield in the sun is just as unproductive as doomscrolling, yet it feels a whole lot different. One feels abusive and abrasive to the soul; the other is relaxing and soothing. All while being unproductive. There may be a lot more layers to this productivity conundrum than being just a productivity boolean.
