Productivity Porn.

Procrastination, evasion, self-deception masquerading as ‘thinking’ about ‘productivity’ — a hollow term further stretched in order to sell a wider variety of consumer goods like ‘to-do list managers’ and stress balls. Adjacent to ‘everyday carry’ fetishism, both best understood as opt-in anxiety (PTSD and ADHD sufferers get swept up with the clowns, alas). Peak stupidity: the ‘hipster PDA,’ i.e. index cards clipped together w/a pen. Lemme render this wanking superfluous for you: ‘Organize, ritualize, systematize, and for Christ’s sake stick with it.’ Moleskines and Space Pens are paraphilia, i.e. blinders. But then, that’s the real point.
