What’s the relationship between productivity and personal development?

In Episode 1, Sara, Duff, Jonathan, and I talk about why there seems to be a disconnect between productivity and personal development, even though you can’t really separate the two.

In this episode, you’ll hear…

How productivity systems become less important when you’re doing things you find meaningful

Why productivity has become about external rewards and punishments and why personal development is about internal rewards and growth

Why the Weekly Review is so hard

Why deciding what not to do is as important as deciding what to do, and how a “To Stop” list may help you grow more than a “To Do” list

How understanding that you can only do when thing at a time can make you more creative, productive, and at peace with yourself
