Video of the Week: My Anti-Productivity Productivity Thesis
In this video, Hank Green explores concrete strategies for improving motivation and interest.
Excerpt:
The world is going to try to make you care about things that may not matter and may indeed be actively harmful to you. They may draw you away from important stuff, or opportunities, and toward being manipulated. This is bad. And in a world where tremendously smart people have dedicated their minds to `how to keep and hold our attention` it is hard to get control over what matters to you because what you pay attention to kind of becomes what matters to you. But you can do this and we have pretty good research on this topic because, unlike productivity gurus, psychologists agree that this is a very big deal.
