- pavelludiq 16y agoMovies don't inspire productivity in me. They make me lazy. They get me in dreamland. A good book might inspire me to work. A book that inspires productivity in me consistently is Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance. Every time i feel stuck, i just reread the chapter on gumption traps and go on with my work.
