I previously talked about the book Working Hard, Hardly Working and this list stems from this book. There are some good lists in this book, and I thought this deserved a podcast of its own. These are things which I talk about a lot and have read in other productivity books and articles.  In this podcast I give examples and go through this list of how it relates to myself and how it could help you.
