Productivity time you’re learning techniques porn’s mechanism infection

Text	Productivity porn’s mechanism of infection works because instead of being productive, it’s easier to read about being productive. You fall into a trap of spending half your “productive” time reading about productivity. It feels good; you’re learning and improving every day. But the reality behind these feelings is that you’re procrastinating and you’ve done nothing for your goals since April last year. Knowledge of productivity techniques is valuable, but the division of your time between learning about and applying these techniques should probably rest at 1:1000 instead of 1:1.
