Instead of focusing on what you’re going to do today, how about deciding “what am I NOT going to do?” That’s one of many pieces of productivity advice that Oliver Burkeman brings to the basement table today. He’s studied productivity over his long career and has now written a new hit book on the topic. Oliver shares lessons from Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management For Mortals on today’s show.
In our headlines segment we address a recent Wall Street Journal piece that calls the bottom of the recent stock market downturn. When will the ugliness end? We’ll also ask OG’s opinion. Plus, it’s Gary Busey’s birthday, so Doug will help us with some non-sequitur trivia.
Enjoy!
