0:00.0	I think today you're going to think differently about the word productivity because it isn't about
0:06.9	what you accomplish or how much you accomplish in a day. There is definitely a difference between
0:13.0	being busy and being productive. And we're going to talk about that today with the incredible
0:19.3	Tanya Dalton. I'm so excited to have her. She
0:22.5	is a productivity expert and a best-selling author of multiple books, including On Purpose,
0:28.8	which I love. And her goal is to help us really see the difference between being busy

1:36.3	But there was a period of my life where I really confused productivity with busyness.
1:42.3	And it took some experiences, quite frankly, that were painful for me to
1:48.0	really realize there's a big difference between being busy and being productive. And I think that's
1:52.9	one of the things that a lot of people confuse. They feel like the more things they get done,
1:58.0	the more productive they are. So they run around busy, checking a million
2:01.6	things off their to-do list, right? Falling into bed at night, exhausted and just, oh, feeling terrible.
