Introducing Works for Me

It's a new year, and that means it's time to reshape our work and home lives--with a podcast! On Works for Me, hosts Francesca Levy and Rebecca Greenfield navigate the productivity industry by way of their own experiences. In each episode, one of the two becomes a human guinea pig as she tries to solve a specific work-related problem. Using the advice of so-called productivity experts, the duo tackles obstacles like ineffective to-do lists, overflowing inboxes and unruly meetings. Works for Me premieres January 11, but you can subscribe right now, wherever you find podcasts.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:05):
Happy New Year, Becca, Happy New Year, Franchaska, New Year,
New US. Right, Um, yeah, yeah, What are your New
Year's resolutions this year? I would like to be better
at my job in my life without actually having to
do anything at all to achieve any of Michaels. That

(00:25):
seems unreasonable. I know, I'm just being honest with you.
What about you? What are your New Year's resolutions? Honestly,
I feel the same as you. I'm confident that I
can better in every way, but I have absolutely no
plan to do that. But all that changes right now.
We're going to do better. It's a new year, and

(00:46):
we're going to actually try to change our lives with
a podcast. I'm Francesco Leaving and I'm back in Greenfield
on our new show Works for Me. We're going to

(01:06):
attempt to fix all of our flaws using the productivity
tips and tricks that people claim really truly work. This
is how the show is gonna work. Each week, one
of us will present a common yet persistent workplace problem
that we're having. Like me, I cannot focus on a
given task for the life of me. For me, I'm
terrible at being a human being in the morning. But

(01:29):
we're not just going to complain about our problems. We're
actually going to try to fix them. There's a whole
world of productivity, ideas and products out there promising to
make us better, and we're going to try them out
on our problems and tell you how it goes, and
maybe some of them will also work for you. I
don't know about you, but I'm excited to be my

(01:50):
best self. I'm sure everything will go smoothly. I'm really
messing up basically, like I'm getting black pen places it
shouldn't be headed person news a couple of times. It's
just so hard to think about what happens after you
get out of bed, when you're still in bed. Okay,

(02:10):
I guess that's wishful thinking. Works for me. Premire Friday,
January eleven. If you want to be your best self
this year, subscribe. You can find works for me on
Apple Podcasts, where Spotify or podcast or anywhere you get podcasts.
