16- True Efficiency: Habits, Tech & HumanOS


Listen Later

Living Well with Technology. In this episode, Fabrice and Anne unpack the distinction between efficiency (maximizing resource use) and productivity (output volume), emphasizing that true efficiency starts with clarifying where you add value and building foundational habits before layering on tech. They share personal experiments—from biohacking basics like prioritizing sleep to painful ecosystem switches between Apple and Android—and evaluate tools such as generative AI, time‑trackers, automation, and delegation. Ultimately, they argue that “good enough” solutions, trust in your systems, and a human‑centered operating rhythm of work and rest are the keys to living well with technology.
