The Productivity Content Trap: When Optimizing Becomes Procrastination (TPS627)

from The Productivity Show

You've read the books, watched the videos, and tried the apps — but your output hasn't changed. In this episode, Thanh and Brooks break down why consuming productivity content can become its own form of procrastination. They cover optimization theater, endless tool switching, note hoarding, and planning as avoidance — and give you a simple audit to figure out if your "learning" is actually moving the needle or just feeding a dopamine loop.
