OVERVIEW

In the second series of Everything You Need to Know, Smitty and OB have decided to take a deep dive into a highly requested subject: productivity.

In this episode, Smitty and OB outline some of the major considerations to avoid procrastination and some big science-backed tips to systematically break down your projects and attack your goals.
