For years, I relied on every productivity tool I could get my hands on.
Slack for communication. Notion for planning. Todoist for tasks.
Trello for projects. Google Calendar for scheduling. Habit tracker for discipline. Focus timer for concentration.
Individually, they worked.
Together, they turned into a full-time admin job.
Most days, I spent more time organizing work than doing it — doing the most routine things like updating boards, tagging tasks, cleaning inboxes and even setting reminders.
At some point, I realized I was managing productivity, not producing anything.
