Episode notes

I push back on that heart, like this idea that we have to be 100% on 100% of the time. The idea that if I'm not filling every waking moment with some bit of activity, you know, I'm wasting time. We've now got decades of technologies that were designed to give us more leisure time. Everything from vacuum cleaners and washing machines right through to brand new technologies like AI and chat GPT. What do you do with those hours you set aside? Does it mean you just now do more work or do you take some time for leisure?

In this episode, I'm thrilled to have Donna McGeorge, author of "The 1-Day Refund" and a renowned productivity coach, join me for an insightful conversation about making the most of our time and working smarter. With her innovative approach, Donna challenges traditional thinking around leadership, productivity, and workplace efficacy.
