Welcome to the productivity show, a 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.

0:13.3

My name is Tan. I'm founder of Asian efficiency where we help people become more productive at work and in life.

0:18.5

And together with Brooks Duncan, my co-host here, we do this podcast

0:22.2

together. How's life, Brooks? It's great. I was just telling Tan right before recording that I just did a

0:28.3

customer webinar and so I had a collared shirt hanging on the door that I put on quickly, recorded the

0:34.6

webinar. But now we're on an audio podcast, so away goes the collar and

0:40.0

back to, back to hoodies and t-shirts. Yeah, I'm wearing a t-shirt right now. Like, I just

0:46.2

finished working out. And so I was like, all right, let's hop on a pod. Let's talk about, you know,

0:51.8

anything that we can help people be more productive. And today's

0:54.6

topic is obviously all about that. We're going to be talking about how you can do a reset for your

1:24.0

So Brooks, what are day?

1:25.8

Yeah, so my first resource is a book that we've talked about

1:28.4

on the podcast many times, but I still, I think it pairs well with this episode, and that is

1:32.5

4,000 Weeks by Oliver Berkman. And I know, Tan, you did a podcast with the author talking about

1:38.3

his book. So I'll make sure to link that in the show notes as well. It's just a great

1:42.1

opportunity for a reset and a mindset reset that

1:46.1

book. So I would start there. Resource number two is also a book. It's the extended mind by Annie Murphy
