My take on this article's tl;dr;:

COVID shone some light on how pointless productivity is without fulfillment. Let's achieve fulfillment with better productivity tools!

Now the critique:

Being after productivity at the expense of fulfillment is unbelievable and unbelievably stupid. I don't mean to generalize and I really hope it's not a sign of our times, but I can't ignore this hypothesis for now.

Anyway, sol ing fulfillment issues with productivity tools certainly sounds like techno-solutionism to me and avoids a much simpler solution that is regularly overlooked: removing some productivity objectives instead of working to solve your issues with more productivity.

As some will inevitably point out: the power of less.

That's what I meant, yes.
