Daniel Sih - Productivity

Here is my interview with Daniel Sih!

Daniel’s book "Spacemaker - how to unplug, unwind and think clearly in the digital age," won the Australian Business Book Awards in 2021 (best personal development book) and was a finalist for Best Technology Book! After this interview, I can clearly see why Daniel’s book has had so much success.

Daniel and I begin the pod with a discussion on productivity and how to successfully utilize your time in a way that allows us to focus on the things that matter in life. We break down some small changes in habit that may enable you to spend more time offline, and really dive deep into how excessive screen time can detrimentally affect a healthy work-life balance. I really enjoyed this interview with Daniel and learned a lot! Hopefully you do too!
