Again, that’s not how productivity works. Productivity is the ratio of input to output.
If I have to produce 40 widgets, and it takes me 40 hours. I have a productivity of 1 widget per hour.
If I reduce my workload, and only need to produce 20 widgets, and it takes me 20 hours, I still have a productivity of 1 widget per hour. There has been no increase in my productivity.
The only way to improve the productivity is to do something more efficiently, I could get better at a task, I could use a tool that helps, etc.
There is likely a non-zero adjustment in dropping your workload, but only if you’re already massively overburdened and just from reducing the stress associated or perhaps getting some extra sleep. There’s not going to be any significant difference in the number of burgers a McDonalds worker can produce in an hour between a 30 hour work week and a 20 hour work week.
I mean you’d be boosting the productivity within the remaining workload
