#6: Alan Henry + Whitson Gordon on Productivity and Purpose


Is there a productivity trap? Is our culture obsessed with getting things done and checking tasks off lists? Kristin asks her former Lifehacker editors if we have a productivity problem.

Alan Henry (New York Times editor) and Whitson Gordon (writer, New York Times, Popular Science) make the case for productivity...with a purpose. They offer some concrete, actionable tips, like the Daily 3-Task Method, to make sure you don't fall into the so-called "productivity trap." Instead, productivity should be about making time for the things that truly matter to you.

In this episode, we consider a different way to think about success: not just and end goal, but also a process.
