In this episode I speak on having less as being a positive for having a more valuable life. Spending less time doing what we don't want to do and more time doing what we want to do is always a standard to uphold. Working for this is always solid and saying no is a great way to do it.

In this episode I talk about yearly themes, a topic that has grown in popularity throughout the past few years through the Cortex podcast. I have taken a liking to the idea and I think that it is roughly comparable to goals in what it seeks to accomplish and it pushes towards that idea in a very clever way, through abstraction. It is a very human idea of a goal and I think that is really great to help push humans forward.

In this episode I discuss time management as a concept and communicate why I don't think overly rigid time management systems are very effective in the long term. I also discuss understanding yourself and what you want in order to achieve what is truly important. You can never be effective if you don't know what you are after. I have kept this episode short because I think that the questions I ask here are very large, I think that this is one of the most important episodes that I have made so far.

In this episode I talk about on elf the newer productivity systems and also one of the most popular that is used by some of the best workers on the planet.

In this episode I speak on a topic that many people make mistakes trying for the first time, creating a system. Most people either get lost in the complexity and try and do too much, so that they never end up doing anything at all, or they create something that isn't powerful enough to help them at all, and it only hinders their progress.  If you enjoy The Productivity Podcast or have any feedback at all please contact me at theofficialproductivitypodcast@gmail.com, I'd love to hear it.
