Episode notes
Mindset and training our brains to think in a certain way play such a big part in our productivity. In today's episode, I'm joined by Blaine Oelkers and we're exploring the 30-minute hour and the 21-second way of forming a habit.
A fascinating discussion where I learned a lot. So grab a pen and paper, clear your schedule for the next 30 minutes and join me as we learn how to be super productive and create new habits in 21 seconds and also work ‘30-minute’ hours.
