Sustainable Productivity

Managing Media with an Eye Toward Sustainability


Listen Later

This week's focus is the impact of media on your personal productivity. Media is a component of the Environmental Surroundings dimension along with clutter. Basically all the inputs that are physically and virtually in your environment - news, movies, books, TV, podcasts, social media, and magazines that you take in on a daily basis.  Learn from  Jose Ortega y Gassett: “Tell me to what you pay attention and I will tell you who you are.”

Ignoring media altogether is not sustainable - there are productivity gains to be had from its consumption. But you need to understand what is coming in and what it is doing to your productivity in the long run.

Here is what you can expect in this episode:

  1. Learn what science shows is the impact of media in your body at a cellular level.
  2. Recommended ceilings of time to consume on various types of media - think Food Guide Pyramid of media.
  3. Practical suggestions to make media work for you, not against you.
  4. Full show notes can be found ⁠at this link⁠.
