Two of the biggest barriers to our productivity as students and professionals are over-complicated systems that don’t work and disruptions to our focus.

In this month’s Q&A episode of the Learn and Work Smarter podcast, I answer two listener questions about those exact two roadblocks.

Question One: How do I know if my task management system is working?

Question Two: How do I get my work done when I have so many random meetings?

What You Learn:

• Why friction is the number one enemy of a good task management system
• Multiple red flags that your task management system isn’t working
• How simplifying your systems leads to increased productivity and lower stress
• How to structure your day when you have unpredictable disruptions
• Secret productivity strategies that professionals use to protect their focus and their time
