This is Steveer Robbins. Welcome to the Get It Done Guys, quick and dirty tips to work less and do more.

Howdy, I'm Steven Robbins, host of the Get a Done Guy podcast, and I'm here today with Michael Hyatt, who is a productivity expert extraordinaire. He is an ex-CEO. He is a speaker. I read his bio, and all I can think is, man, I wish I were this guy.

And if you think about how to be productive as an individual contributor versus how to be productive
