Productivity discussions sometimes baffle me. It feels like some people expect a TODO list (or other productivity tools) to put magical motivations into their heads. When it doesn't, they declare it not useful. A TODO list is just a list. It mainly helps with two problems: 1) memory problem, 2) planning problem. It can also facilitate making measurements and analysis if that's your thing. But regardless of which app or pen and paper you use, it is not capable of making you want to work. Perhaps in the distant future, we'll have that magic bullets which instill literal productivity into your skull, but in 2022, your motivation is on you.
