<h2>[WHAT]</h2>

<li>]&nbsp;<a href="http://blog.vivekhaldar.com/post/28465017852/productivity-porn" target="_blank">http://blog.vivekhaldar.com/post/28465017852/productivity-porn</a>&nbsp;- this short article introduces&nbsp;the new&nbsp;term to our TM vocabulary and also has productivity tip or 3</li>
</ol>
<h2>[WHY]</h2>
<ol>
<li><strong>[DEFINITION] "productivity porn"</strong></li>
<ol>
<li>&nbsp;The internet is full of productivity tips and techniques, more accurately known as "productivity porn". It&rsquo;s like McDonalds trying to sell you healthy food. You know that is what you should eat, but when you actually get there you end up eating the nutrition-free fast food.</li>
<li>And I plead guilty. I&rsquo;ve tried them all. <strong>Every now and then I stare into the chaotic abyss of the stuff I need to keep on top of, and decide what will save me is a new system</strong>. Of course, it doesn&rsquo;t. I&rsquo;ve learned a few things the hard way that are not often mentioned.</li>
</ol>
<li><strong>] So what do you need a system for?</strong></li>
<ol>
<li>You need it for <em>chores</em>. The stuff you don&rsquo;t want to do, but you need to. The stuff which is easy put off but will hurt in due time. Stuff like paying bills and calling customer service</li>
</ol></ol>
<h2>[WHERE]</h2>
<ol>
<li><strong>]&nbsp;<em>If you really deeply care about something, you will do it.</em></strong></li>
<ol>
<li>You will do it without needing a list or a system or a reminder. No, your brain will not feel cluttered by the burden of having to remember it. If it happens to be a complex task with many steps, you&rsquo;ll make a list, without thinking &ldquo;oh look I&rsquo;m doing GTD.&rdquo;</li>
</ol>
<li><strong>] <em>Do not confuse activity for progress.</em></strong></li>
<ol>
<li>Sometimes blind activity can be a palliative, a false reassurance that we are moving forward. It takes courage to stop and ask if what is being done is actually having any impact&mdash;on our lives and our work and our happiness. We know the answer will often make us wince.</li>
