Zen and The Art of Work with Kourosh Dini
This episode is brought to you by Your Clockwise Week—a personalized weekly structure built around your actual life, not an ideal one. If your week feels full but not fitting, you can learn more at mikevardy.com/yourclockwiseweek.
My guest for this episode is Kourosh Dini - a psychiatrist, writer, musician, and author. Some of his works include Zen & The Art of Work, Creating Flow with OmniFocus, and Workflow Mastery.
I’ve met Kourosh a couple of years ago when we worked together for the OmniFocus set-up. I love his work and have always seen him as a thoughtful productivity strategist who knows his stuff.
Some of the things we talked about this week are:
How meditation shifts our mindset which ultimately makes us more mindful and productive.
The importance of pausing and practical tips on how to apply it in your life.
Personalization and why it's important in your daily interactions.
Why play time is a necessary ingredient in performance, productivity, and happiness at work.
How music can boost your productivity, creativity, and overall sense of well-being.
Kourosh's thoughts on ambient sound apps and how he uses them in his own workflow.
The five elements of good health, according to Kourosh.
Kourosh's take on meditation and his recommendations for those who want to start meditating.
