| 0:28.1 | Hello, hello, everyone. Welcome to Productivity Paradox. I'm your host, Tanya Dalton, and this |
| 0:34.6 | is episode 11. Today, we are going to be talking about productivity and how |
| 0:41.2 | technology is working for you, or rather how technology is not working for you. Now the purpose behind |
| 0:49.1 | productivity paradox is to find the productivity and organizational systems that are designed to work for you. |
| 0:56.0 | And if you haven't listened to episode zero, I would encourage you to do that because I talk about the purpose behind this podcast, |

| 1:50.1 | Do you feel like you are on top of everything? Or does it sometimes feel like maybe you're swimming |
| 1:55.3 | underwater? It's not surprising that many people think that using the latest technology is the way to go. |
| 2:02.5 | But don't just choose to use technology because that's what you think you're supposed to do. |
| 2:07.3 | Stop and really assess to see if you think that it's really working. |
| 2:11.7 | Now, I use technology myself to help with certain areas of my productivity, |
