You struggle with being productive. So you decide you need to establish a routine for yourself. You get real gung-ho about this routine \u2014 this is going to be the thing that changes everything!

The cycle then repeats itself, leaving you no more productive than you were at the start.\n\nMy guest, Madeleine Dore, found herself stuck in this cycle.
