Summary

Are traditional time management methods actually hindering our productivity and well-being? Vikki Louise, CEO of Time Hackers thinks so, and she's here to challenge those norms. She introduces us to the concept of to-do list maximalism—those endless lists that often leave us feeling overwhelmed and burnt out. But fear not! Vikki advocates for a alternative: to-do list minimalism. Imagine focusing on the fewest tasks that yield the biggest impact.
