Productivity Nerd
Podcast Description
A podcast about getting shit done, hopefully in an elegant way that doesn't leave you too broken!
We’re all balancing the need to work enough (enough to make ends meet, not annoy our bosses but also enough that we feel like we’ve done enough, which is a whole different psychological and emotional ball game) with the human need to rest and stay well. And, maybe even enjoy ourselves just a little bit along the way and spend quality time with those we love. And I for one love hearing about how people get more done, more efficiently so that they get more time to do the things they love.
