You already know many of the basic productivity rules: watch less news, spend less time scrolling, focus on meaningful work, stop multitasking, and protect your time.

    This Is Not a Time Problem, It Is a Control Problem

This episode of Algorithm-Proof Productivity shows how your day gets lost in small moments of distraction, reaction, and attention switching. You will learn why better planning is not enough unless you control what happens inside your time blocks.
