Beyond Productivity: Living From The Inside Out (Episode 6)
(This podcast is also available from iTunes under Productive Flourishing.) The High Cost of Productivity
In Episode 6, Andre, Dustin, Sara, Duff, and I discuss how productivity principles enhance our day to day experiences. We also have a fairly substantial discussion of "Making it All Work" in the latter half of this conversation. This is the second and last part of this conversation. In this episode, you'll hear about...
How approaching experiences ready to capture alters our experiences
What the difference between multitasking and capturing is
Why a productivity "system reset" may be the best thing for you to become more productive
How sometimes inefficiencies in a system make the system better
The difference between something being simple, complex, or just plain complicated
How creative work is different from other types of work - as well as how it's really not that different
Why we wouldn't care about GTD if Making it All Work was the first book rather than the third.
