Chris Bailey on Time, Energy and Attention

For exactly one year, May 1st, 2013 – May 1, 2014, Chris Bailey of ‘A Year of Productivity’ and ‘A Life of Productivity’ ran productivity experiments on himself. In this episode, he and Erik talk about some of the findings he had from those experiments, such as:

• Meditating for 35 hours over 7 days
• Watching 70 hours of TED Talks in a week
• Using a smartphone for only 60 minutes a day for 3 months
• Working 90 hour workweeks
• and more
