Don't Put the Tool Before the Craft

our productivity methodology is just a tool. And it’s a mistake to confuse tool sharpening, or worse, tool buying, with actual work.

For the most part, I was using my vast expertise in productivity to... make more content about productivity.

Most of us are wasting time we could be spending learning our craft by playing around with our tools and washing our pickup truck instead of hauling anything.

Myles helped me avoid an easy error:

Putting the tool before the craft.

To attempt to provide some minimum-viable-scaffolding for productivity, so you can turn off the feed and get back to work, here it is in one sentence:
Do the most important thing for a few high-energy hours, with minimal interruptions, every day.

We need to find the minimum viable scaffolding to get our work started and then focus on doing the work from there, making little adjustments as we go.
