The goal of a rule of life isn't productivity or self-improvement. It's to become the kind of people who reflect Jesus and glorify God. That's another JMC banger. Notice, too, the words that Jesus uses here. You will bear much fruit. It's my father's glory that you bear much fruit. We bear it. We don't produce it. Those are different words. Those are different concepts. When you bear something, you hold it. You're not in charge of producing the fruit. Jesus does that. God does that. When we abide in Jesus, and then the fruit can pop. The fruit can be produced. We just bear it. Our job is to abide in Jesus. God's job is to produce that fruit.
