Episode notes

Productivity should be reframed as doing what you want to do. It is not just about work and tasks, but also about pursuing your dreams and desires. Identifying and pursuing your own horizon goal, whether it is watching the 50 greatest movies or pursuing any other personal passion, can be considered productive. True productivity lies in maximizing the things we have to do in order to sustain life, so that we can have more time to do the things we truly want to do. Thus, productivity should not be confined to work alone, but should encompass all aspects of life.

So, we've reached the end of another eventful season! In this episode, I look back at 7 of the key lessons I’ve learned from this season including from conversations with Cal Newport, Sophie Medlin, Cliff Weitzman, Drs John and Julie Gottman, Mathew Dicks, Carrie Rose and Dr Aria. I also want to say a massive thank you to everyone who has supported the podcast so far, it really means a lot.
