I use a thing called Rome research. And what it does is the way I collect information instead of post it notes. And I can do it across all my devices and you are building a second brain. So nothing is ever lost. If I find a good quote, if I find it good book to read or a podcast to listen, I can put it in there and tag it. Everything's cross reference to everything else. It just builds this huge database of your second brain. That allows you to relax and know that you have it out there. Yeah.
This week I’m joined by my friend Jeff Sieh of Social Media News Live to talk through the top productivity books for 2023. With the new year well underway I wanted to take the time to compile and curate a list of my favorite productivity books of the past year and share them with listeners. In this episode Jeff and I break down my list and share some of the many tips and takeaways that these books have given us. In addition Jeff and I discuss some of the highlights from the various authors' appearances on the show while offering up opinions on how each book benefits the different aspects of our productivity.
