    Thanks for exposing some of these ideas. I do wish they were more rigorously examined. Also, I believe some contradictory things were said. Regardless, wanting to be "more productive" is tricky, as I believe it can start to become perfectionism and manifest into procrastination.

    Loved this conversation and very down-to-earth and easy to follow advice! I too felt like most of the productivity books were written without parents of young kids in mind until I came across Laura Vanderkam’s books ! 😅
    Also a note on the Future app- I love it, although was pretty skeptical about an idea of online personal trainer at the beginning )) I was pleasantly surprised to learn Lenny invested in it!

    For the audio book, AI could have done the job for you no ? 😅
