  • Productivity. Box-ticking. Getting more done. A sexy topic, it isn’t. But tackling your to-do list in a timely fashion is a goal worth shooting for - and not just to keep your boss happy. Focusing a little more on how you can best power through your professional obligations can free up precious headspace for the stuff you really want to do. But where do you start? How do you go about changing your habits? And how - in today’s chaotic and changing working world - do you strike a healthy balance? In this episode, Senior Editor Roisín Dervish-O’Kane discusses all this and more, with Caroline Webb, behavioural economist and author of How to have a good day: Harness the power of behavioural science to transform your working life.
