When it comes to being more productive, everyone seems to have an opinion. Whether it’s telling you to put everything in your calendar, use a fancy spreadsheet to break your projects down into tasks, or find an accountability buddy to check in with at the start and end of every day, once someone finds what works for them they often start telling everyone to do what they do. But ‘standard’ productivity advice doesn’t work for everyone, and in today’s episode of Unfrazzle I explain why that is, and what you can do instead.
