Chuck Harmston

Productivity Porn

It takes a special brand of geek to be so obsessed with your geekiness that you direct all your geeky energies on becoming a better geek: faster, stronger, more productive…more geeky. You constantly fear that your to-do list items aren't granular enough or sufficiently quantifiable, or that you haven't discovered the app that will revolutionize how you work. Productivity perfection becomes a preoccupation, a compulsion, an omnipresent anxiety that your geeky best isn't the best.

My name is Chuck, and I'm into productivity porn.

Explore with me the life-hacking fetish and its techniques and toys: Inbox Zero, GTD, Facebook-blocking Firefox extensions, Pilot G2 gel pens, caffeinated beverages, sleep systems, the Hipster PDA, four hour work weeks—and where it all goes wrong.
