[ AI ][ PRODUCTIVITY_THEATER ][ NOUN ]
Performing visible productivity rituals — organizing tools, planning systems, dashboards — that look like real work but don't actually move any task forward.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"Spent four hours building the perfect productivity dashboard and never actually did the task it was for."
LORE & ORIGIN
Extends productivity-theater style critique specifically to AI/tool-adjacent workflows, once elaborate tool setups became a visible substitute for doing the actual task.
