Very interesting insights, Terrie. It might be true that these productivity hacks are nothing but scams, but here is my story -

I started journaling in 2018, but could never stick to it religiously. However, since the quarantine period began, I have been making to-do lists and strangely, they have helped me. It might be an illusion, but I certainly feel I have been able to get more work done!

Either ways, I would be looking forward to the next article in this series. Thanks for writing this. :)
