About this listen

 An investigation into how history’s oddballs, outliers, and overachievers built systems to help them do their best work. Each episode unearths a so-called productivity hack from history to help you separate the brilliant from the bullshit, so you can build a methodology that works for you. Productivity isn’t about getting more done to feed a money-seeking monster with an ever-growing appetite. It’s about clearing the clutter so you can focus on what you do best. Because if Edison can invent the lightbulb without Inbox Zero, you can probably survive without 10x-ing your toothbrush routine.© Hello Steadman Ltd Personal Development Personal Success

    Recently it’s come to our attention that Daniel Ek, the CEO of Spotify, who Forbes estimates is worth over $10 billion, is now investing some of the money he makes off the back of Spotify subscriptions to fund military drones.


    This is via a company called Helsing, who provide what they call “precision mass and autonomous capabilities to democracies so they can deter and protect”.


    I’m removing Undo and all of my other content from Spotify, as I don’t want my content to fund any kind of military operation. The world is already full of white men with no necks who have rigid hardons for war, and I don’t want any part of enabling them.
