Productivity myths debunked.

What works in this niche

• Naming one specific widely repeated claim and walking through the actual research
• Showing where the claim came from and why it persisted without support
• A concrete replacement backed by better evidence as the payoff
• Honest framing of what the research shows versus what gurus promise
• Tight pacing, one myth fully dismantled per video

Format: 9 to 14 minute debunk explainers over split-screen graphics, study visuals, and B-roll. First-person voice, popular-belief-then-evidence-then-what-works structure, 90-second re-hook.

Hook patterns that earn clicks

• Contrarian: the productivity habit every guru pushes has almost no experimental support
• Data shock: how much time the average worker actually loses following this advice
• Question hook: the morning routine that made famous people productive was not the routine

Sub-niches to mine

• Why willpower depletion studies mostly failed to replicate
• The 10,000-hour rule examined against the original research

Common pitfalls

• Overclaiming the debunk when the research is itself mixed or preliminary
• Replacing one myth with another equally unsupported alternative
• Becoming a self-help channel that sells a system instead of explaining the evidence
• Generic desk-and-laptop stock that signals a low-effort recap
