I'm very wary of people who promise to make you a genius.

"Here's how you can be more productive!" As one Redditor put it, there's a lot of noise and not much signal. At the outset, I'm inundated with terms like Anki, pomodoro, interleaving, spaced repetition. Study, study, study... study. A quick look at his channel shows

  • Why the Pomodoro Technique REALLY Works

  • Why Pomodoro Doesn't Work (Better Alternative by an Efficiency Coach)

Is it even worth watching these people?

People watch these instead of just doing their work. It's a procrastination method.

Pomodoro sounds potentially useful under certain narrow circumstances, if you're doing software development and have the right personality for it.

Spaced repetition works for language learning, especially vocabulary.

The problem is all of these require you to actually put in effort and who the heck can be bothered to do that? :marseyshrug:
