+# My Productivity
+
+In as few words as possible,
+I would say I am "High Efficiency, Low Productivity".
+
+I have several problematic productivity habits.
+
+#### Motivation
+
+My primary motivators are curiosity and stress.
+
+I find it very easy and natural
+to work on projects for extended, uninterrupted periods
+when I am investigating a new problem,
+or a potential new way to solve a problem.
+
+Because of this I often spend hours working on things
+that will not benefit me or anyone else.
+Even if they _could_ be useful, my motivation ends with my curiosity
+around 90% progress, where I'm able to visualize the end result.
+
+I find it near impossible to do work I'm not curious of
+until my subconscious determines that we have exactly enough time
+to finish it before the deadline.
+
+I think I spend much more time bored than my peers.
+Others with as much free time as me
+tend to spend it exercising or in other more reasonable activities.
