Productivity for productivity’s sake is exhausting. If we’re constantly optimizing but losing sight of who we are in the process, what’s the point? I’ve found that the most meaningful work happens when we create systems that reflect our values, not just what’s efficient. Have you ever had to unlearn a ‘productivity hack’ that was actually holding you back?
I agree, although sometimes I need tools to help keep me in that mindset. For example, if I cannot find things, I get very anxious and then I can’t keep that mindset front and center.

"Have you ever had to unlearn a ‘productivity hack’ that was actually holding you back?"
Yes. Productivity is less about tools, and more about one's mindset.
