Feel Good Productivity Projects

In this article https://www.scotthyoung.com/blog/2015/10/07/strangely-useful-career-advice/, scott young gives a good idea that if you want to be an author and be sucessful, you shouldn't write the book. This is because being a sucessful author is not about writing a book, but finding an agent, pitching it, and getting it published. This is the "thinking outside of the box", all of the within-box thinking is "feel-good productivity". For my field, it would be things like learning how to leetcode, building projects, joining rso's. In reality, I should figure out what sucess in my field looks like and tackle that. It might be finding someone that can help me launch a product, or finding a professor I can do research with.

For me, it is being a part of SIGAIDA corporate to make connections.
