I think a possible problem with this concept is the assumption that its application is a constant. It's definitely a bad thing to produce in the extreme _all the time_, however from time to time, depending on the industry or pursuit, an otherwise unhealthy obsession is admirable and necessary. Without such a thing, many of our innovations and industries would not exist today -- Tesla was pretty "toxically productive," it could be argued. Certainly in his case, he probably took it too far at times, but we'd be in mud huts with no running water if individuals such as he were not permitted to operate as they see fit. If an individual or group of individuals doesn't want to be hyper-focused, fine, don't do it, but it's a dangerous thing to judge others who may be different for being different form you.
