You can afford anything but not everything.

Every decision that you make is a trade-off against something else and that doesn't just

apply to your money.

That applies to your time, your focus, your energy, your attention, and time, by the way.

That piece of it is what we're going to talk about in today's episode.

My name is Paula Pant, I'm the host of the Afford Anything Podcast, and today I'm speaking

with Productivity Expert, John Ziratsky.

He's going to share specific action-packed time management strategies with a focus on

email management.

So, if the term inbox zero sounds laughable, then the strategies that he's going to talk about

today are right up your alley.

John is the co-author of a book called Make Time.

His ideas about time management have been published by the Wall Street Journal, Time Magazine,

Harvard Business Review, Wired Magazine, Fast Company.

He's been on stage at South by Southwest at Harvard.

He's worked with Google Ventures to develop a process for testing new ideas in five days,

and he's run this process with a huge number of startups, including Uber, Slack, Pocket,

Nest, Medium, 23 and me, just a massive number of startups.

So, he was very steeped in time management, and we're going to talk right now about how

you, as an individual, can apply a lot of these ideas into your own life.

Here he is, John Ziratsky.

Hi, John.
