A recent New York Times op-ed condemns people's desire to be uber-productive. A perspective from someone who identifies writing to-do lists as a hobby.

17 years after the first time, I re-read Getting Things Done. A bit less naive about it, I found quite a lot of value and a few tips that keeps my mind engine going.

I reflected lately about gardening, content creation and beauty. The result was that I made myself want to get some weeders and planters, and tidy up my little corner on the web.

For years I'm trying to be more productive. I outsource ideas, thoughts and memories but I'm never pleased. It took a while for me to comprehend that my problem is in philosophy and not in productivity.
