However, she also emphasizes the role of community in resisting grind culture and fostering genuine, restorative rest. She advocates the creation of <strong>trained and educated communities, where people share a commitment to well-being over constant productivity. <\/strong>This involves consciously creating spaces for rest in important areas such as homes, workplaces, and community spaces such as churches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hersey\u2019s vision of thriving, well-rested communities relies heavily on what she calls <em>politics of refusal<\/em>:<strong> a movement where large numbers of people actively and collectively reject the demands of grind culture.<\/strong> These community members would support each other every day like people already support one another during times of hardship, such as after the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/death-of-a-loved-one\/\">loss of a loved one<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: In <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/willpower-doesnt-work\/1-page-summary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Willpower Doesn\u2019t Work<\/em><\/a>, psychologist Benjamin Hardy explains the importance of tailoring your environment to its purpose (whether work or rest), and describes <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/willpower-doesnt-work\/1-page-summary#force-yourself-toward-your-rest-goals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">what a resting environment might look like<\/a>. Hardy says an effective resting environment is a place where you\u2019re protected from all the stresses of the outside world. Therefore, he recommends decorating your resting space with colors and art that soothe or uplift you, filling it with things that make you happy such as your favorite books and trinkets, and ensuring that phones and computers stay outside of it\u2014this ensures that people can\u2019t reach you to place more demands on your time and that you\u2019re not tempted to do work-related tasks like checking your email.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a community of refusal, people encourage and empower each other to rest as needed. Since people need money to survive\u2014and many people genuinely <em>can\u2019t <\/em>afford to take time off from work under the current system\u2014empowerment often means giving each other material support as well as emotional or spiritual support. For instance, this could mean sharing food with those who need it, sharing skills so people don\u2019t need to pay professionals for things like home repairs, or helping one another with bills and living expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Communal resistance to harmful and predatory practices has proven highly effective in the past, leading both to improved living conditions and to stronger bonds between community members. For example, in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/lost-connections\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Lost Connections<\/em><\/a>, journalist Johann Hari describes how residents of a West Berlin neighborhood called Kotti <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/lost-connections\/part-3-chapter-7#case-study-the-kotti-neighborhood-protest\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">came together to protest increasing rents<\/a> and protect an elderly woman who was about to be evicted. Crucially, in doing so, the residents of Kotti realized that they were <em>all <\/em>struggling for the same reasons; the problem was systemic, not individual. Therefore, even after the protest ended, members of the Kotti community continued to support each other however they could, helping each other to survive their shared problems.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How can communities support each other in resisting grind culture?
