Have you ever struggled with "monkey brain"? What is deep work and how can we build it into our week? What do we do about information overload? Tune in this week as guest Curt Steinhorst answers these questions by highlighting tips and techniques we can use to stay fully present and increase our work efficiency. 

The goal is to find that sweet spot - Karen Allen calls it the "flow zone" - where we're challenged enough to stay engaged, but not too much that we want to throw our laptops out of the window. We know focus and attention are crucial skills that can transform the way we work and live but how do we balance and prioritize everything that grabs our attention throughout the day? Curt shares his advice to help us structure our day so we can dive into deep work, set boundaries, and prioritize what matters. Time to ditch the monkey brain and embrace our inner productivity champion!
