Deep dives
The Illusion of Productivity
The feeling of being unproductive can arise when comparing oneself to seemingly hyper-productive individuals. Many people appear to accomplish great tasks while managing full-time jobs, leading to feelings of inadequacy in others. However, this perception can often be misleading, as some of these individuals, including the speaker, share their work publicly which gives an impression of constant productivity. It's important to recognize that what is visible is often a curated snapshot of their efforts rather than the full reality of their productivity levels.
