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 Tam Fam, founder of Asian efficiency, where we help people become more

productive at work in a life. And I do this podcast together with my co-host, Brooks Duncan, all the way

from Vancouver, Canada. How are you today, Brooks?

I'm feeling a little attacked because it just so happens there's an email sitting in my inbox

that I'm kind of procrastinating dealing with. And then I was like, oh, and I have to come on here and

talk about procrastination. So it's a good reminder of what we always say on the podcast that we are

fellow travelers in productivity. We have to deal with the same things that everyone else does.

from the angst and the anxiety of not getting stuff done and there's actually four levers that you can pull to increase your productivity.
