Laura Mae Martin has my dream job - she is Google’s Executive Productivity Advisor. Her job is to advise the top folk at Google on how to be more productive. In this chat, we cover: * Ruthless Prioritisation: the importance of saying no to good things to make room for great things. * Sunday Planning Ritual: Laura’s ritual of planning the upcoming week every Sunday, and her exact process for doing this. * List Funnels: a method to manage tasks by categorising and prioritising them to ensure nothing falls through the cracks. * Downtime: the critical role of downtime in productivity, with Laura sharing her practice of "No Tech Tuesday" to disconnect and recharge. * Generative AI in Productivity: how generative AI tools can augment productivity, automating routine tasks and freeing up time for more strategic work. * And much, much more… Get a copy of Laura’s new book Uptime.
