The Productivity Trap Nobody Talks About

I used to think productivity was the key to freedom. So I optimized everything, my routines, my habits, my workflows. But somewhere between the ice baths, color-coded calendars, and three dashboards tracking my “progress,” I started to wonder… who was I actually doing all this for? In this video, I explore how the pursuit of productivity can quietly become the biggest distraction of all, and what happens when you finally slow down long enough to ask why you’re doing it in the first place. New here? I’m Scott 👋 I walked away from $1.7M in equity to chase my entrepreneurial dreams. Bold or stupid? Still TBD. Now I make videos about mastering your mindset, building better habits, and actually enjoying the process. No fluff, no guru nonsense, just philosophy, psychology, and a few jokes about dodging existential dread. Please
