Are you objectively productive but subjectively unfulfilled? You might be focusing on the “clock” (tasks and efficiency) instead of the “compass” (values and direction). In this episode, we explore Scott Young’s research on the most underrated productivity technique: the values-based weekly review. We’ll show you how to use the “5 Whys” to connect tasks to deeper motivations, apply Stephen Covey’s “First Things First” philosophy, and finally feel satisfied with your time.
