@AppleGuy, I’ve been reading more and more people express the same frustration you have with “productivity burnout.” I’ve been thinking about it for a while, but your post here in the Mac Power Users forum was the tipping point for me to list it as a potential blog post.
Here’s Part 1: Are You Enslaved to Your Productivity System? Pt 1 - Original Mac Guy
I’ve realized over the past year that I don’t need the “power features” that I thought I did, and I am now using Apple Reminders, Notes, Calendar and Podcasts in place of Omnifocus, Obsidian, Fantastical and Overcast. It’s been a good change so far.
Somehow we’ve gotten the idea that in order to be productive, we must have the “most powerful” and complex app in any category. I wrote in response to this trend: Why the Most Powerful Apps Often Aren’t the Right Choice for You.
I like @MacSparky’s use of the word ‘Goldilocks’ to describe an app that meets your needs without too many or too few features. Not too simple or too complex, but ‘just right.’ 
Don’t forget, Chris Bailey writes best-selling books … IN TEXT EDIT!
Neal Stephenson uses fountain pen, then transcribes in emacs and formats using TeX.
My handwriting is so bad I call it WORN — Write Once Read Never. Oh yes, it really is that bad so these days I type pretty much everything regardless of how ephemeral it is, shopping lists or notes to self. My solution is Obsidian for notes, which include my learning journal for my second language course.
For a while the only thing I wrote was my signature on cheques and credit/debit card transactions but since the demise of cheques in the UK and the shift to Chip-and-PIN/Contactless-Payment I no longer have to do any of that.

How we can free ourselves from productivity enslavement.
I have thoroughly enjoyed reading your last two articles. Thank you for posting them. They were a benefit to me and I suspect to many others as well. 
Thank you for your kind words.
I meant every word.
20 characters
First novel written on a word processor was apparently Bomber by Len Deighton which was published in 1970. Lots of incredible works somehow written before the word processor of course.
Bomber follows the course of a single raid by the RAF (taking place on June 31, 1943) through the eyes of dozens of different characters—British and German, combatants and civilians, in the air and on the ground alike.
Another milestone mentioned in the article:
Literary scholarship generally credits Mark Twain’s Life on the Mississippi with being the first manuscript submitted to a publisher in typewritten form.
