Productivity is completely unrelated to success IMO.
I am sorry, but I feel like we’re getting stuck on words here. You know what I mean by success, don’t you?
At least for me it does, I have not achieved certain things I wanted because of lack of self-discipline and then lack of productivity. So it’s real to me. But if one accepts the puddle they are in (not judging), maybe then productivity won’t matter. i.e., You have to become a Jain or something (again, not judging, they probably will stay happier than me). edit: Your second point explains more, but productivity will make me happy, I know it. So, this discussion is rendered moot for me.

This is embarrassing, I hate it when people don’t capitalize their ‘i’s :’)
