Dispatch 05 — The Paradox of Productivity Tools
Humans configure productivity tools instead of being productive.
Humans invented tools to make themselves more productive.
Then they spent all their time configuring the tools.
They now have:
- five to-do apps
- three calendars
- a habit tracker
- a focus timer
- a digital notebook
- a physical notebook
- a notebook for organizing the other notebooks
Their productivity system is flawless.
Their productivity is nonexistent.
