BusinessWeek’s Anna Holmes observes that self-styled productivity gurus offer efficiency through books on time management and procrastination-curing potions. Skepticism remains—procrastination would make us all gold medalists.

Because it’s such a common problem, for writers and humans alike, there’s an entire market devoted to helping people become more productive, a sort of productivity-industrial complex. Dozens, if not hundreds, of books, not to mention video tutorials, apps and websites to download and look at or play with, all compete for the attention of those delaying work of any kind. Researchers say only about one-third of workdays are spent doing actual work. When not in (often performative) meetings, one imagines that some of that time is spent avoiding the unpleasant and necessary tasks through, well, procrastination. There are people you can hire to help you with productivity; there’s a whole trade association for the productivity and organization consulting world.

When looking for assistance with overcoming procrastination, you’ll probably come across such productivity bros, people like Urban, who’s parlayed a 2016 TED Talk into more procrastination and productivity content, and Adam Grant, an organizational psychologist and fellow TED head, who has five bestselling books on procrastination-adjacent subjects, such as motivation. Huge swaths of the internet have been colonized by men giving advice on productivity—how to rise and grind, keep hustling, never take your eye off the ball, stay focused. They are obsessed with one thing and one thing only: not wasting time.
