I really don't see the point of all that productivity in every facet of life. It sounds like cargo-culting to me. Generally, people who do fascinating things don't need to analyze their own productivity since they are naturally drawn to their projects and work on them on their own and for their own sake. People who do things out of ambition don't need the boost either, by definition. And for people who just want to enjoy life, this sort of thinking is antithetical to what they see as worthwhile. Therefore this content can only appeal to those in a state of dissatisfaction and confusion as to what they want out of existence, but does not provide them with any sort of useful answer. From a cursory glance at the channel, it's all very ironic: the guy shares tips about having become a doctor and done extremely well in medical school, but quit after two years because his channel about productivity was taking off. Don't get me wrong, I respect the hustle and the cashflow, but it highlights the circularity of the whole enterprise. The productivity is channeled to create content on productivity that is itself of no particular value except as entertainment for unproductive and anxious people. It's like those online courses on becoming rich that are themselves the source of the wealth. From an individual perspective, it's great that the author can make a lot more money with a lot less stress compared to medical work, but from a societal perspective it seems like we've created an ocean of perverse incentives.
