If your processes—task management, email management, information management—aren’t running smoothly, they’re like a ball and chain stealing your time and productivity. That’s holding you back from your goals, whether it’s less stress, more sleep, or time with family. Productivity isn’t just in the work—it’s in the how of your day. Let’s fix that and get your time back.” - Leslie ShreveConnect with Leslie Shreve:Website: https://productiveday.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/leslieshreve/ Email: [email protected] Connect with Steve and Jason:LinkedIn: Jason or SteveWebsite: Rewire, Inc.: Transformed Thinking Email: [email protected] notes by: Angelo Paul TagamaAudio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.
