In this episode, we’ve shared how to simplify productivity in 2025 by focusing on what really matters. Over the past few years, we’ve learned that simplification isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s essential for busy professionals. We reflected on the lessons from ARC, the browser company, and why their pivot serves as a cautionary tale for anyone overwhelmed by complexity.

We’ve highlighted how easy it is for businesses and productivity tools to fall into the trap of overcomplication—chasing features that don’t serve the majority. Whether it’s ARC, ClickUp, or Superhuman, we explored how losing focus on core value often leads to chaos.

We also discussed why we’ve doubled down on the ICOR® methodology to keep productivity simple and effective. By focusing on key layers like task management, personal knowledge management, and streamlined tool stacks, we help professionals avoid work-about-work and stay focused on what moves the needle. Plus, we shared practical tool stack recommendations that can simplify your workflow immediately.

If you’re looking to reduce complexity, reclaim clarity, and build a solid productivity foundation, this episode is packed with actionable strategies to help you do just that.
