Listen Later

It all started with the big question on the table:

 

Are we caught up in "Productivity Shiny Object Syndrome?"

Do you ever feel like you’re juggling flaming chainsaws while blindfolded on a unicycle?

Today, let’s explore what really matters when choosing productivity tools.

Then, we can consider what tools and processes can make our work lives healthier and more efficient.
