About this episode
We had the privilege of speaking to the King of Productivity, David Allen, author of the cult classic 'Getting Things Done'. He advocates for being stoned - not by smoking weed, but by getting everything out of your head and maximising productivity so you can be present with whatever you are doing. We delve deeper into his system and talk about the futility of 'busyness'.
