81. Productivity in the Workplace and Beyond, with Laura Vanderkam

On this week’s episode of the podcast, we look at productivity in the workplace and beyond — how changing your personal rhetoric can help you refocus your efforts, how much more leisure time you have than you think you have, and why having partners in crime can make any hill “look less steep.”

She’s also the author of 168 Hours: You Have More Time Than You Think and the What the Most Successful People Do Before Breakfast series of ebooks.
