Three years ago Kyle picked up a book that caught his eye, and little did he know at the time would lead to the creation of this very podcast you’re listening to right now. The that would lead to the genesis of this very show was The Productivity Project by show favorite author Chris Bailey. The Productivity Project tells the tale of one productivity nerd’s year long experiment of living by various productivity tips, tricks and methods and finding out which ones helped him the best with getting stuff done. From working 90 hour work weeks, to waking up at five in the morning, and even drinking only water for a month, Chris puts these methods to the test Mythbusters style.

In this episode Kyle & Mark celebrate episode fifty with a review of The Productivity Project, together they share their inspirations from the book, discuss their favorite experiment of Chris’, and talk about what productivity means to them and why they love productivity so much.
