Visible productivity in knowledge work can lead to a culture of pseudo busyness where workers prioritize appearing productive over producing meaningful work. This focus on being busy can result in less high-quality output and hinder the ability to engage in deep, valuable tasks.

It's essential to prioritize meaningful tasks over simply appearing busy to achieve true productivity and personal growth.
