PPP 135 | Mastering the Habits of Our Everyday Lives, with Gretchen Rubin

Habits for Project Managers

Could it be that the habits you develop today determine the life you live tomorrow? As project managers, we make endless choices throughout the day--how to use our time, how to interact with stakeholders, how to solve a problem. Our guest for this episode is Gretchen Rubin, who suggests that developing effective habits is a key responsibility for those who want to build a successful tomorrow.

Gretchen is the author of a new book entitled Better Than Before: Mastering the Habits of Our Everyday Lives.
