A friend once said of "The 7 habits of highly effective people" that the first habit was not wasting time reading self help books.
In a similar vein I suspect one of the key behaviors driving productivity might be not spending much time writing about productivity on the internet.
Irony of posting this understood obv, but then I make no claims to productivity, quite the opposite.
Actually reading self-help and productivity books is a great way to invigorate your productivity. That is why productivity blogs are so popular.
I will happily read or reread a productivity book just to be inspired to get my game on.
It's also a great way to waste time, and fool yourself into thinking you're doing the right thing, when you would actually be better off spending the time working.
At least it is a form of "sharpening the saw" (to quote Covey). You are still in the mode of thinking about how to be a better worker.
There are a whole lot of time sinks on the internet that are much much worse ways of wasting time.
