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.” Laura Vanderkam joins us on this week’s episode to discuss those topics and more.
