Not sure if anyone else feels this way, but I recently had a pretty big realization that every popular productivity system out there seems to have one main goal, getting more stuff done. But honestly? They just push us to work non-stop, like robots, while totally neglecting our health.

I’ve always been a productivity nerd, constantly chasing new hacks to stay efficient. Over the years, I’ve tried all the systems like Eisenhower Matrix, GTD, you name it.

A few weeks ago, I returned to university and work after a long break because of mental health issues. Coming back, I felt like I was falling behind on my studies, my job, and, honestly, life in general. I hit that “panic mode” and did what I usually do, I Googled my way to a “new” productivity system that could help me get my life back on track.

But as I started reading through the top articles, I realized they were all the same old recycled advice with catchy headlines like “Get More Done in Less Time.”

And that’s when it hit me. These were the same systems I’d followed before. The are the same system that had landed me on a hamster wheel of endless tasks and stress.

Believe it or not, those systems were a big reason behind my burnout, anxiety, overwhelm, depression, you name it. I ended up stuck in a vicious cycle of trying to be “productive” but constantly feeling like a failure. The pressure to keep up, to “optimize” everything, left me drained, stressed, and eventually, needing professional help to deal with my mental health.

And then, out of nowhere, something crazy happened.

While I was going through my messy inbox looking for an old email from my therapist, I stumbled upon a newsletter I had completely forgotten I subscribed to months ago. This latest edition introduced a productivity system I’d never heard of before.

At first, I was skeptical. But since I was already searching for a better solution, I figured, “Why not?” and gave it a read.

And let me tell you, this was nothing like the productivity systems I’d tried before. Instead of being built for machines, this system was actually designed for humans. Real people. People like me you and me. I found myself hooked reading every word, even though I usually have a hard time focusing.

The biggest takeaway? Traditional productivity systems make us focus on managing time, which is where the problem starts. Time is constant, while our energy and focus aren’t. And that’s where the burnout comes in. Energy and focus are limited resources, and trying to stretch them across an entire day like time only leads to problems like stress, burnout, and overwhelm.

Think about it. We all have 24 hours in a day, but our energy and focus? Those change every day. Sometimes we sleep 9 hours and still feel exhausted. Other times, we barely get 5 hours but wake up feeling ready to crush it. Time stays the same, but energy and focus don’t.

No joke. Since I started using this new system a few weeks ago, I’ve never felt more productive. I’ve achieved more in the last few weeks than I did in the entire previous year. The best part? I feel like I’m actually in control of my life again. I was in control my health, my time, and my focus.

I’ll be very honest with you. I came here planning to rant about how these mainstream productivity systems totally wrecked my mental health and life. I keep seeing posts about them on here, and it’s frustrating to see people unknowingly following the same destructive path. But as I started writing, I realized I didn’t want to just vent. I wanted to share something that’s actually helped me.

So here’s the deal, I really believe it’s time to ditch the old productivity systems and give this new approach a shot. Traditional systems was developed decades ago when live wasn’t chaotic and everything was simple, but Humane Productivity Framework is developed for our fast pace, modern, chaotic life. I’m confident enough to say this is the best system I’ve come across so far. The choice is yours. Stick with the outdated methods, or give this a try for just a week to transform your life and health. If you want to be productive without sacrificing your mental, physical, and emotional health, I highly recommend you check it out.
