ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode, we get into his data-backed findings on how men and women use time differently at work, why only 20% of your time is actually spent on your highest priorities (ouch), and how organisations are quietly burning out their teams without even realising it.
We talk practical fixes, bad email habits, smarter meetings, and how measuring what matters can transform your team’s output. Oh, and we get poetic too — literally. Mark shares his quirky (and surprisingly powerful) book The Poetic Path to Getting More Done and even drops a goal-setting rhyme that’s better than your last TED Talk.
If you’re a founder, manager, or just someone whose to-do list is longer than your week — this one’s for you.
