Podcast 006 - Overhead
04/04/16 • -1 min
In this episode I talk about using minimalism to reduce the amount of time and energy I spend on so-called overhead activities at work, so that I can focus on the things that matter to me and to my organization.
I also provide a short update on my (lack of) progress in making improvements over the past week, and how I plan on addressing that.

Podcast 007 - Commitments
In this episode I talk about taking a minimalist approach to my commitments, to "declutter" the things I've currently committed to and to make sure that going forward I'm spending as much of my time as possible making a real impact on the things that matter.
I also provide a short update on where I'm at in terms of improving my email and task management, and what my next major area for improvement is.
