I get it. The author is in a hurry. But it shows. The article contains perhaps two meaningful units of useful knowledge which the author somehow stretches into multiple pages. No disrespect intended, but to save your own time, you managed to waste mine. Not a good look IMHO.

Yeah. For perfectionists and procrastinators, it's good to focus more on small chunks of work in order to make more measurable progress... but in general, I feel that what the world needs is people moving less (movement is not always progress) and being more reflective. Working towards resilience and accessibility, not just output.

I feel the same way every time i read all those productivity tips like time boxing. No one seems to like to reflect on things

This is why I come right to the comments. Thank you.
