How to Thrive Claire Sanders and Helen Silver-MacMahon

We all want to be more productive, but are we going about it the right way?
Working longer hours, filling our schedules with back-to-back meetings, and ploughing on through lunch might feel like we're doing more, but there is good evidence that actually taking a break can lead to us being more productive.
Caitlin Rozario is an expert in this field. Built on a foundation of her personal experience with an allergic reaction that left her temporarily blind, she went on to launch Interlude, the anti-toxic productivity bootcamp.
The whole ethos is helping ambitious teams make productivity more sustainable and less toxic.
In this episode of the How to Thrive podcast, co-hosts and sisters Claire Sanders and Helen Silver-MacMahon, cover the benefits of micro-breaks, the "logic defying" billable hour, and Caitlin gives her three top tips on how to thrive.
