About this episode
My guest today is…me! I thought I’d turn the tables and share with you how I run my own workday. The delightful and wise Dr Jason Fox joins me on the show to sit in the interviewer chair. We cover all sorts of ground, including:
- My morning routine
- My system for to-do lists
- How I try to minimise morning decisions
- How I fit both Deep Work and Shallow work in my life
- My Deep Work “rituals"
- Why I left Facebook and Instagram
- My favourite go-to productivity and time management apps
- How I transition from Deep Work to Shallow Work
- The work that goes on behind the scenes of creating How I Work
- How to design a better workday if you don’t feel like you have control over your diary
- How to persuade your boss to give you more time for Deep Work.
