Using mental state to choose tasks

With a PhD in sleep science, Dan Pardi has plenty to say about the relationship between sleep and productivity. In this wide-ranging interview, David Allen talks with Dan about how sleep, rest, and mental acuity affect productivity.

Dan's approach is that health is about organizing yourself, effectively managing the project of your body. He's a fan of working from lists, in order to match mental energy to the type of task. In various places during this interview, he talks about his tools, as well as tips for improving productivity and performance.

You can watch the entire conversation from March 2019 at GTD Connect®.
