Welcome to the productivity show podcast where we believe that people like you can get the important things done without sacrificing your health, family, and things that matter to you.

If it's your first time listening, welcome to the show. I'm Tan, founder of Asian efficiency, where we help people become more productive at work and a life. And I do this podcast together with my co-host, Brooks, all the way from Canada. How's life, Brooks? It's good. Just before recording, we were talking about AI stuff and we're getting so into it. We're both like, oh, right, we're here to record a podcast. We're not here to talk about, we're not here to talk about

0:38.0

agentic AI. We're recording a podcast today, so I'm ready to do it. Yeah, this is still,

0:43.6

technically AI could take this over. We've already, have the option to clone our voices and do

talking all things productivity.

the byproduct of that is that we're going to be a lot more productive.

1:37.1

And then the second thing is one tweak a week, a week is all it takes to make massive

1:42.0

productivity gains over time.

1:43.3

So you don't have to overhaul your

1:45.0

life to see lots of progress. And actually, today's episode is really kind of about that idea.

1:50.7

So we're going to expand on that today. And then the third one is we want everything to be simple

1:55.2

and actual. So that includes today's episode. We always like to end our episodes with one or two
