I realized this about myself not long ago. I probably spend more time trying out new systems and reading up on productivity then the time spent actually being productive.

Maybe i should switch jobs and write a blog about productivity tools :)

Self-consciousness plagues productivity geeks more than the average worker. Worrying about the time lost by revising and reflecting on workflow results from that self-consciousness. No one who watches TV thinks about the opportunity cost of such a passive activity, but for some reason people concerned about their task management flagellate themselves for “wasting” too much time on implementing a new calendar tool.

Use your intuition. If you’re really wasting time, you’ll know it. Experiment with whatever has the potential to increase productivity, but drop it rapidly if the costs outweigh the benefits.

It’s sites like WWD that I check 3+ times a day that are distracting me from my real work. LOL
