On this episode, we chat about a few favorite books we’ve read recently, and how we plan our weeks. Topics covered include:

  • Balancing the “macro” and “micro” parts of your week;
  • Bunching weekly obligations;
  • “Maker” vs “Manager” schedules;
  • The “switching costs” you incur throughout the week
  • Attentional residue;
  • What to consider at the start of your week.
