On this episode of the show, I’m joined by Productivityist’s resident book reviewer and fellow avid reader Mike Dariano. We talk about how we go about reading and what we do differently to keep our reading workflow…flowing. The goal of this episode is to inspire you to find a way to read more without overwhelming you in the process. I hope it does the trick!
