Focused, Episode 102: Analog Productivity with Brad Dowdy

Productivity and me don’t necessarily go hand in hand. Yes, I get it all done somehow, but in my own "can’t get there from here" kind of way.

David Sparks and Mike Schmitz had me on their podcast, Focused, to discuss how I work, and the analog tools I use for the work. Along the way, we discovered that I have more of a plan than I thought. I also learned the random notebook I keep is a Commonplace Book.

I came away from our conversation with a better understanding of my own personal productivity, and you may even glean something from our conversation.

Bonus: I spent some of Mike’s money show.

Soumkine One Task Weekly Planner

I consider myself a technically savvy person, but I’m having trouble wrapping my head around file-based - as opposed to application-based - digital planners and agendas. I ask Myke for help sorting this out, but I’m still not sure I get it yet. We also dig into serval new product previews, and share the latest Kickstarter update.
