Description

Many people are now working from home due to the needs of our personal lives, or the needs of our colleagues across the world and the expansion of companies across continents. So, this week on Work in Progress: The Personal Productivity Science Insights Podcast, host Sarah Stancombe consults Steven Puri, the founder and CEO of a focus app for remote work, on what it takes to stay motivated in a remote work environment.


Following a long-standing career in film and television, Steven Puri returned to building tech companies, and founded a highly raved focus app The Sukha Company. With the mission to help millions of people find their focus and achieve a healthier work life, The Sukha Company app is equipped with a range of effective productivity tools, from focus music and distraction blockers, to Pomodoro timers and more.


In this episode, Steven Puri explains the idea of flow state, and how specific music can help us reach it. He further elaborates on the conditions that are prime for achieving the flow state, and shares advice on accomplishing it.


Together, Sarah and Steven Puri explore the idea of simplifying —  for instance, you are more likely to have a productive work session with a list of just three things, rather than an overwhelming list of 17. So, whether you’re a seasoned working professional, or just starting to find your place on the market, tune in this week for expert advice on finding focus in remote work settings!
