Is it just me or is the title sentence difficult to parse? Is this a correct interpretation of the author’s intent:
> Having a habit of not finishing your side projects means you are a busy person; not an unproductive one.
The author never came back to the word “productivity” or what that means to him in relation to side projects so I don’t feel like I can say with convection that my re-wording is correct.
- j_jochem 10y agoI interpreted the headline as saying if you don't finish your projects, you're not productive but busy.
- bryogenic 10y agoSo which is it is saying: > You are both unproductive and busy (both bad) > You are both unproductive and busy (but busy is okay) > You are productive but also busy > You are unproductive because of your busyness This is hard for me because productivity invokes delivering value. Busyness invokes behaviors that take up time but deliver less value. Conflating these two with out really going into any of their virtues and how they interact with each other seems glossed over.
