LEVELS – A Whole New Level

#33 – Inbox zero & time management (Sam Corcos, Casey Means & Ben Grynol)


Listen Later

Inbox zero – it's taken the email world by storm and has been popularized by startups, like Superhuman. But, everyone seems to have their own process for managing emails and prioritizing tasks. Sometimes, this is due to the vertical or industry that a person works within. Other times, it's because entire companies have specific ways of approaching work.

For the Levels team, we value three factors deeply when it comes to communication:

  • Discussing initiatives asynchronously
  • Documenting projects thoroughly
  • Closing the loop voraciously
  • Levels helps you see how food affects your health, empowering you with the tools needed to achieve health goals and improve healthspan. Levels Members gain access to the Levels app and continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), providing real-time feedback on how diet and lifestyle choices impact your metabolic health.

    Look for new shows every month on A Whole New Level, where we have in-depth conversations with thought leaders about metabolic health.
