    The Biggest Productivity Hack in the World

    Episode Description: We spend so much time looking for productivity hacks that we overlook the simplest one of all. Do nothing besides the task you set out to accomplish. In this episode, Glenn explores why distraction—not a lack of ability—is the biggest killer of productivity, and how repeatedly bringing your attention back to the task at hand can transform both your personal and professional performance. Using the example of McNab’s exceptional workplace culture, Glenn explains the difference between possibility and probability: everyone has the possibility of building something extraordinary, but only those who consistently do the work, make the adjustments and stay focused dramatically increase the probability of achieving it. If you want to get more done, stop searching for the next productivity hack and start protecting your attention. It may be the most powerful performance strategy you’ll ever use.
