Professor Jordan Peterson, a well-known psychology expert, summarized the four manifestations of “pseudo-diligence”:

1. Spending a lot of time doing the easiest part of the task and showing it off everywhere: hard work without credit.

2. Procrastinating in the name of “preparation”, looking busy but not making any progress.

3. Never verify the results of work, do not know whether it is good or bad, and just focus on pulling the cart without looking up at the sky.

4. I have read a lot of books, but never summarized the rules; even if I summarized the rules, I have not used them in practice.

The above behaviors are all inefficient or even ineffective behaviors. Because I feel that I am diligent, but because the results are not good, I start to complain and start to breed negative energy.
