Productivity is more than trying to get out of the office by 5 Friday afternoon, it’s about building a life you love and focusing on the work that matters to you.
In our podcast, we are breaking down productivity by sharing personal, down to earth, stories and struggles combining meaningful and intentional action steps with practical tips and tricks.
It’s our hope that this podcast will open your eyes to the “why” behind the productivity. Defining purpose to your life and building systems to help you get more done, have less stress, manage your energy, define goals, and more!
You don’t have to be a self-help junkie or productivity nut to enjoy this show. We’ve done all the research and have spent years reading books and articles, testing apps and products, and implementing many productivity systems into our own lives.
By listening to this show, you can learn from our mistakes and learn how to connect purpose with productivity.

Checkout out my article, Can’t Keep up? Make a Waiting For List, about the waiting for list.
