I'm so glad I came to this sub, but I think I'm leaving now.

I discovered r/productivity after searching for something like "Best productivity system" or something like that, and I found a link to an article on this sub. I was immediately excited about the topic of productivity, so I've been reading different articles and posts on this sub, and reading tons of stuff, and that really helped me to make my own system. I was so excited, it all made so much sense to me. I had a big problem with procrastination and being lazy, but that was gone for a while.<br><br>I've learned a lot from all the articles on the topic of productivity, but I've never really been doing the productivity systems I've been reading about. I was always busy reading more and more stuff about productivity. I've read a whole book about productivity and I was still reading. It was all so interesting to me, it's all so logical and exciting. <br><br>And then at some point I realized that I had been reading for days and I didn't really do anything in that time. I didn't do anything productive and I didn't do anything for fun either. I realized I had to stop, take a look at my life and make my own system. It was pretty simple, make a list of everything I wanted to do, make three lists (things to do every day, things to do every week, things to do someday), prioritise, etc. That worked, I was very productive for a while, and I was very happy with my life.<br><br>But then I came back to this sub, and I got caught up in the task of improving my productivity system and I've been reading more and more stuff about it and I've been making lists and tables, etc. I've been doing that for days and I haven't been doing anything else. I think the reason for this is that I've been obsessed with the idea of having a "perfect" system, and I've been afraid to actually do anything because I think my system might not be finished yet.<br><br>At some point I realised that I don't really need to change anything. My simple list system is fine and it works. I don't need to improve it, I just need to make a habit out of doing stuff. I've been spending way too much time thinking about how to be more productive, and I think I have to stop. If I want to keep improving my life, I have to stop focussing on productivity and focus on other things.<br><br>Edit: I didn't make this post to insult people who post in this sub. I really appreciate all the good tips I get to read about productivity here. I just personally need to spend less time reading about productivity and more time doing other stuff.
