Are you obsessed with 43 folders, Getting Things Done, and other productivity programs, and after reading them, do you feel significantly more productive than you did before you read them? I am, and I do. You can read 43 folders and then forget to go to work, you feel so accomplished.

This is the same principle at work in gym memberships and self-help books. It's easy to go and pay for them, and you get a feeling of accomplishment when you do, even without having done a single other thing to achieve your goals.
