I recognize the pattern of getting super excited about a productivity system for a while and then at some point finding that it falls off. I've heard this associated with ADHD, but idk about that, I think it might just be a pretty normal, human thing.... This makes me think there's a bespoke approach customized for each person would be ideal whether it's productivity or movement practice or healing work.... I love this set of questions. (Btw, have you read Four Thousand Weeks? It does a similar exploration. Nothing revolutionary for you, but you'll still probably enjoy it). I think the biggest thing that got reaffirmed for me was: completion is impossible...... I totally agree with this. The result for my team shifting into a heavy ai coding workflow has been something like 20% more stuff being built, at 50% better quality, with half as much time being spent on the tedious parts of... I've been a developer for over 20 years, so I speak with at least some authority. IMO the focus on increased speed and efficiency is one-dimensional. I actually don't know if AI coding tools make me faster, I'd guess for some projects they do, and some they don't.... - stephen...
I've also seen my AI General Assistant use fall off over time for anything creative or productive. It's mostly an information and coding copilot for me these days. I use it for sanity checks on important decisions sometimes....

Yes! I have a chrome extension for Gmail called inbox when ready, and it tells me how many times I've checked my inbox each day. Also after X times, it makes me wait like 10 seconds before I can check again. It's very helpful.... - nat...
love this. This is exactly how I’ve been helpful myself and my clients gain freedom from procrastination and other self-sabotaging tendencies. We face the resistance and any accompanying sensations, emotions, discomfort… head on from a space of loving awareness.... - nat...
I’m not ready to get the Lightphone but have recently been more intentional with my phone use. I discovered that I can schedule Downtime on my iPhone and select which apps are unavailable during this time.... Object-level: I agree that the governments get a whole bunch of extra money via inflationary monetary policy. I agree people don’t seem to be aware of this, and that sucks.... And from where I’m sitting, I can really relate! I often struggle to plant a flag for some direction or idea that I’m confident in and have expertise around.... - tsears...
- onHave you noticed that when workplace performance dips, people's first reaction is to rush to explain it? What they rarely do is slow down long enough to notice how the work started to feel different first. by
Ralph, Thank you. This is a really thoughtful extension of the point and I agree with you on the core issue: more time is often a very blunt response to a nuanced performance problem. What you’re describing at the policy level mirrors what I see inside organizations.... - Renay...
