What’s Your Productivity Personality Type? w/ Devin Ambron – ABR045
What would a perfect year look like for you? Mentally? Physically? Spiritually? With your finances?
Devin Ambron put on a workshop this December to help Austin entrepreneurs build, plan and live their best year. We go over some of the strategies he used to help attendees kick butt in 2018. Including:
- reflecting on the past
- understanding the present
- looking toward the future
One exercise that will help you understand your past, present and future is discovering your productivity personality type. Devin’s 4-part framework helped me understand why I love lists and reminders but have a hard time scheduling work for a specific time.
If you’ve ever felt like traditional time management books don’t work for you, you’ll definitely want to tune in.
We cut right into the conversation. Enjoy!
