This is not an important article. It will not blow your mind, nor will it change your life dramatically.

But. It might make you think, “Huh. That’s interesting. That might help. I could use that”.

‘Productivity Overhauling’ can be addictive. We see an intriguing new framework or a brand new productivity app (Tana, I’m looking at you) and are lured into changing up our entire productivity system.

“This is the one!” you exclaim. “If I just migrate every note / task / tracker in my existing set-up to *insert shiny new productivity tool here*, I’ll be a productivity demigod!”

Three hundred hours and an empty pocket later, we feel flat. The big shiny new tool which took a lot of time and money to adopt isn’t usually the silver bullet we hoped for. We’ve all been there. Heck, I’m prone to it, often. No judgement here.

Sometimes we don’t need a big overhaul of our lives and our productivity stack. Some days, we just need a tiny little nugget of wisdom that can move the needle into the black. A miniature boost that unlocks a little more gas in the tank.
