Fake productivity is like sugar.

It’s sweet but kills.

Here are 5 signs of fake productivity:

  • 0% implementation
  • Busy as a bumblebee
  • Doing fake work
  • Your to-do list is packed like a pickle
  • 0% creating, 100% consuming

Sorry, but I don’t want to be like that.

Real productivity, on the other hand, is like a veggie.

It helps your progress get in shape.

Here are 5 signs of real productivity:

  • Focusing resources on real work
  • Applying productivity tips consistently
  • Scheduling free time
  • Spending less time and producing more work
  • 80% Creating and 20% consuming

How to be a real productive person:

  1. Stop consuming endless productivity tips.
  2. Grab 3–5 ideas, then apply them.
  3. Evaluate the results. Rinse and repeat.

Fake productivity consumes. Real productivity creates.
