About this episode
When we think of "productivity," we usually think about getting more things done. Checking more off our to-do lists. But that's not the actual definition of productivity — and it's definitely not how we want to live our lives. In this episode, I talk about the real definition of productivity, why I want to reframe it to include priorities, and how you can actually decide what to work on next instead of just "doing more."
