Emily Abadi here. You are listening to Hurtle Moment. It's my new series in honor of all the

good to get things done, but because it's kind of integral to how I make the big bucks, which is,

you know, relative being a journalist and everything. In today's episode,

I talk about my seven tricks to ultimate productivity, which I've learned throughout my own

experience. You know, I'm trying to do the best I can with what I have since going out of my
