Isn’t it perverse that we need such optimization techniques so that we can sit at a desk all day.

I think it’s a wonderful technique but it makes me wonder why and if we’re just -not built for this-.

It is if you're using it to force yourself to do something soul sucking.

It isn't if you are using it to give yourself the discipline to focus on completing a challenge you care about.

I agree, totally. But I think that 20 minutes of journaling per day is really valuable even if it's not for work optimization.
