This episode sees us finishing our series on Productivity at work.

Richard and Pilar look at the value of setting appropriate goals. We examine them in terms of how they can align with our values and our roles in life and their motivating impact. We look at what makes a 'good' goal and how you can find meaning in a goal that has been set for you by someone else. 

We end the episode by exploring some common productivity myths. We hope you've enjoyed this series and have found some practical tips and advice you can implement. Let us know how you're getting on via twitter (@WorkLifePsych) or via our website (www.worklifepsych.com/contact).
