Folklore and Myths About Productivity – Helpful or Harmful?
I’ve always been fascinated by how old sayings and myths shape the way we think about productivity. Take “burning the midnight oil,” for example it glorifies overwork, but at what cost? On the flip side, stories like the tortoise and the hare remind us that steady effort wins in the long run.
Do you have any favorite (or least favorite) bits of productivity folklore? I’d love to hear which ones you find inspiring and which ones might do more harm than good. Maybe there’s a lesser-known myth or saying that’s changed how you approach your work?
