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.
