Are productivity hacks really the answer, or are we running a marathon in Crocs? In this episode, Dave Flenagan and Zoe Hirsch explore Dr. Stef Huber’s article on why most productivity tips don’t work—because they focus on advanced techniques before establishing a solid foundation.
Dr. Huber argues that true productivity starts with the basics: physical health, mental clarity, and fundamental skills. Without these, even the best hacks won’t stick. She also emphasizes the importance of clarifying goals and setting boundaries before layering on complex strategies.
Dave and Zoe discuss why so many people chase shortcuts instead of fixing foundational issues—and how small shifts in daily habits can create lasting efficiency.
Tune in for a practical conversation on sustainable productivity, avoiding common pitfalls, and getting real results.
