Phase 3 Productivity

John is now in Phase 3 of his productivity cycle, where he's reached peak existential dread.

Productivity Tips for the Despondent

• Set your alarm clock 5 minutes earlier than you need to, to account for the crushing despair.
• Use a Pomodoro timer, but only to measure the time it takes for your anxiety to consume you whole.
• Take regular breaks to stare out the window, contemplating the futility of existence.
• Practice deep breathing exercises, but only to calm your nerves before you face the abyss.
