Смысл: The main idea is a critical reflection on the 'one-size-fits-all' nature of self-help culture. The author argues that standardized productivity and psychological tools often fail to account for individual personality traits and the chaotic reality of daily life.
The author details their failure to implement various self-help and productivity methods, concluding that standard paths to 'success' are incompatible with their personality.
Смысл: The main idea is that universal motivational techniques and self-help seminars are fundamentally flawed because they use generalizations that ignore individual uniqueness. True progress comes from taking personal responsibility and creating specific solutions rather than seeking a generic 'magic formula' promised by gurus.

True efficiency and safety are achieved through flexibility and individual adjustment rather than standardization based on a mythical mean.
