0:00.0	This is Optimal Living Daily, episode 1684, an excerpt from the book, Home Early, Destroy
0:28.3	Distraction, Become Powerfully Productive, and Finish Work Before Dinner. By Michael Melberg,
0:33.8	and I'm Justin Mollick. Welcome to Optimal Living Daily or the OLD podcast, where I read you from
0:39.3	some of the best blogs or articles I can find and get permission from, and sometimes books like
0:44.4	today. You should know today's author if you've been listening for a while. I narrate from
0:49.2	MichaelMelberg.com quite frequently, so with that let's get right to it and start optimizing your life.
0:59.9	An excerpt from the book, Home Early, Destroy Distraction, Become Powerfully Productive,
1:05.1	and Finish Work Before Dinner, By Michael Melberg. Three productivity myths that just won't die.
1:13.2	If I asked you which country was the most productive in the world, what would you say?
1:17.9	Japan, America? Those were my answers. They're not even the top five. Every year, expert markets

1:41.7	earns per hour of effort? What they found flies in the face of the conventional wisdom.
1:47.6	Myth number one, Work More, Be More Productive. Though money isn't the only measure of success,
1:54.0	when measuring productivity output across an entire country, tracking money earned per hour work
1:59.9	to make sense. The expert markets study found that the countries that worked the most per week
2:05.3	actually earned the least. For example, while the average American worked 33.9 hours per week,
2:11.8	earned $65.43 GDP per hour worked in 2018, Luxembourg citizens worked on average
2:19.0	five hours less per week and earned $83.93 more. Luxembourg isn't the only example. Norway
2:27.6	workers hustled $6.5 less and earned $24.37 more. Ireland workers worked 1.1 hours less,
2:35.4	and earned $22.88 more. The list goes on. While there are some outliers, the trend stays consistent.
