Look, it’s been a long week. I have no clue why I just typed “productivity poetry” into Google but the apparent insanity of that is dwarfed by the fact that I got a result.

HelloPoetry.com, which I confess I hadn’t heard of before, has a whole slew of poems on the subject of productivity. I would say without the aid of any expertise that most I saw are rubbish. But there are smart ideas and wry ones too, including this which I rather like:

Circular Defeat

I stay up through the night
for the
quiet
to make plans
for the
productivity
that I sabotage by staying up through the night

Circular Defeat – Noax Identz, Hello Poetry (16 August 2014)

That is the complete poem but try some of the others too on the full site.

I wonder if there are poems about OmniFocus.
