Listen "Design Your Time: Put Purpose Before Method"
Episode Synopsis
Time is something we all struggle with, and many battling stress and overwhelm feel like there just aren’t enough hours in the day. We tend to hunt for productivity hacks, time management techniques, and methods of working that will solve the problem, but there is no one-size-fits all solution.
For any method to be effective, it must be designed to clearly serve a purpose and set of targeted results. Designing our time works the same way. What purpose would a different use of time serve? What would a successful method cause in your work and life?
Kell Delaney and Patrick Kennedy join Emma Rose for a conversation about designing our relationship with time, the distinction between efficiency and effectiveness, and how to manage improvement at an individual and team level.
