Productivity porn has its uses. Getting to write notes is hard, or at least not very gratifying. Getting the perfect pen and notebook makes note taking more appealing, which is good.
- criddell 6y agoBut there's always a better pen and notebook out there. At some point you have to do the work.
- praptak 6y agoYes, obviously. If you limit PP to rewarding yourself, short-term, for starting unappealing work, then you should be fine. Otherwise it's just a huge resource sink. I settled on a $1.20 pen model which I really like, a generic notebook and have kept the resolution not to even look at any more stuff (okay, I read about Zettelkasten but resisted the temptation to try it). This sort of works for me. I will keep quiet on how much time I had spent researching various productivity-related crap :)
