Host: Christopher L. Camp, M.D., Creator & Guide | Mayo Clinic Human Optimization Project

Guest: Dennis E. Dahlen, Chief Financial Officer – Mayo Clinic – Rochester, MN

We are all busy and have a lot of tasks that need to be accomplished. And those tasks need to be accomplished somewhere! Whether you are working at home, in an office, or on the road, your physical surroundings play a surprising large role in how you do your work, how much you get done, and the level of quality of that work. In this episode, we are going to talk about some of the science behind how your surroundings impact you, and what you can do to optimize them.  

Our expert guest here to teach us more is Dennis Dahlen, and the three big questions we are going to work through are: 

1. How do our physical and mental surroundings influence productivity?

2. What common obstacles keep people from creating productive environments and what is secretly sabotaging our productivity?

3. Which practical strategies can anyone apply to optimize their physical and mental spaces for sustained high performance?
