Discover the history and cultural shifts that support shorter work periods and learn how to align your career with personal goals. Whitney and Joe discuss redefining productivity metrics, strategic time management, and the power of breaks and purposeful routines. You’ll also hear about practical exercises like the ‘plus one minus one’ life menu and discover your sprint type for improved efficiency.
