I used to feel self conscious about the fact that I don't really produce anything, until I came to the viewpoint that my consumption of other people's work is what gives that work meaning
I struggle with this too and never seen anyone else mention it. And you gave me some framing to have a healthier attitude. Thank you!
You don't need to self actualize through work. There is no such thing as a waste of time.
