The Productivity Show

Are GTD Contexts Useless? Is Productivity Hurting Young People? & More (TPS397)


Listen Later

Today’s episode is a new format we’re experimenting with.

We know many of you like listening to podcasts to learn new things and also to stay on top of what’s happening in the world.

So we thought it would be helpful to also share some industry news on the podcast so you’re always up to date with the latest news around productivity apps, tools, books and everything else in between.

Aside from the industry news, we also have 3 important topics to go over:

-Does it make sense to color-code your calendar a week later after everything happened?

-How capitalism and productivity are hurting young peoples’ well-being.

-With more people WFH, do GTD Contexts still make sense?

Thanks Truebill.com/TPS. It could save you thousands a year.

You can find links to everything that we share in the show notes by going to theproductivityshow.com/397.
