Description

In this episode, Jeff sits down with Sasha Farley, a remote work expert and consultant, to break down what most managers, teams, and companies get totally wrong about productivity, focus, collaboration, and remote work.

There is science and biology behind the traditional 9-5 doesn't make sense for your brain or body.

In this episode you’ll learn:

  • What do people still misunderstand about “productivity” with knowledge work and why your brain doesn't work like a manufacturing plant.

    Why many meetings are wildly inefficient and ineffective.

  • How remote workers actually think, process, and create

    Why bosses still get concerned about employees “doing laundry” and “chores” during the workday?

  • The science behind burnout, context-switching, and Zoom fatigue

  • Why “just power through it” is terrible advice for your brain

  • It’s neuroscience… and wildly relevant for anyone who works online.
