163 — How to Break Free From Hustle Culture and Rethink Productivity with Joseph Sanok

Nov 25, 2024

There's a lot of pressure to be productive, and many people think they should be doing more or working more. But sometimes, all that work causes us to lose sight of our values. Ironically, the pressure to be productive can actually decrease our productivity.

Joe Sanok is a psychotherapist, private practice consultant, and author of Thursday is the New Friday. Joe has studied the secrets of re-evaluating our lifestyles, getting better results, and living happier lives.

Some of the things we discuss are:

  • Why we think productivity is the ultimate goal (and why this might be wrong)
  • Various types of work "sprints" that can maximize productivity
  • Insights from neuroscience that can improve creativity and efficiency
  • Flexible work strategies that can improve performance
  • The biggest misconceptions about productivity
