      "Counterproductive" is a normal English word unrelated to "productivity". Taking an action is counterproductive if it leaves you worse off than you would have been if you hadn't done it. Note that the only definition of "counterproductive" here ( https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/counterproductive https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/counterproductive ) is "tending to hinder the attainment of a desired goal".
