Backpack

Productivity is hot a topic these days. Being en effective, reliable machine. I already wrote about doing nothing. My workflow for tasks is simple. There is no workflow.

I understand that many people are active. They need productivity apps. They need a good, shiny computer, probably a MacBook, so everything glues together nicely. A note app is a must. Obsidian, Notion, or something like that. A simple file where you write five lines a month is not enough for busy people. Obviously.

Reading the internet is sometimes scary. I often ask myself what I am doing wrong that I don't need any of this. Productivity software that manages productivity itself.

What I find interesting is that people out there often have a family, animals, a house, cars, a job, a social life and all that shit. How do they have time to fiddle with some random app somebody sold them? I do nothing and still don't have enough time and energy to deal with such bullshit.

Maybe that's the problem. I don't have a good computer and helpful productivity apps. I don't even have a 300 euro tactical backpack. No backpack. No must-have tools. Just my keys, some cash and a head full of nonsense.

Maybe if I bought the backpack, stuffed it with gadgets, and strapped on a smartwatch to measure every breath I take, then I would finally start doing something.

Hard to say. I have no bookmarks, no subscriptions, nobody reminding me daily about the ten must-have items I need to buy. And still, somehow, nothing gets done.

I don't pay monthly for the illusion of productivity.
