Stop Wasting Your Time with Fake Productivity You can't stop hearing about "fake news" these days, but I want to talk about an even more insidious workplace distraction that's draining away our valuable time, energy, and attention: Fake productivity. This talk will walk you through the psychology behind our addiction to fake productivity and outline practical ways to shift our focus away from mindless busywork — like incessantly checking your email, social media feeds, and stats — and back onto the deep, challenging work that drives true innovation.
