References (connections are hard for some!) Displayable activites: created content, videos, programs, and famously "skills-building" (sometimes courses)... often needs to be very quickly displayable. Not stuff like philosophy, "generic" learning, rest, eating, journaling! This is the part that makes people guilty - and honestly, it's natural given the fact that it became the metric that somewhat replaced genuine human interest.
