Let’s face it. It’s though to simply keep our shit together sometimes.

Schedules, task managers, virtual assistants…every killer app is designed to handle the dirty work so we can get about the important work of just enjoying our lives.

Yet, when you ask almost any professional how they are doing these days, they’ll seem busy to the point of overwhelm.

This while the average worker is exponentially more productive than ever before.

What gives!!?
