Does being busy contribute to a sense of self-worth?

Edward Hallowell (Psychiatrist, Author) gives expert video advice on: Is busy-ness a coping mechanism?; Will I go through withdrawal if I slow down?; What are three ways to quiet my mind? and more...

It can. Being crazy busy can contribute to a sense of self worth but it's a crazy way to do it. You really should instead have your worth be defined by your loving relationships and by your connections with the world that are satisfying not by running around and being busy. That really doesn't add anything to the world.
