So here's the thing about productivity that most 
people don't understand. It's not about doing more 
stuff. Like everyone thinks productivity is about 
cramming more tasks into your day. But really it's 
about doing the right things.

## The Productivity Paradox

Most people misunderstand productivity. The common 
assumption is that being productive means completing 
more tasks in less time.

**The reality is different.** True productivity isn't 
about volume—it's about impact. Doing the right things 
matters more than doing more things.
