Sam is the person that introduced me to the wonderful game of improving my working experience by thinking deliberately about the HOW I work and the task management system.

Sam and I sit down to talk all about task systems, journaling, experimentation, and the seducing procrastination of watching full movies entirely through youtube clips (I've done that more times than I'd like to admit).

Sam has a wonderful newsletter where he talks about attention, simplicity, personal development, positive psychology, and organization design. Check it out at samspurlin.com.

Dr. Lawrence Chan is a Data Scientist County of Orange and Lecturer at Chapman and Cal Poly Pomona. This man is focused and dialed in. Everyone has different ways of organizing their mind to get work done and find meaningful progress. I love Lawrence’s approach to integrate physical movement with knowledge work. How can we move throughout the day not just “1 hour in the gym is my workout” but rather, a lifestyle of movement that helps us progress meaningfully in work. We talk balance, energy management, and productivity.
