Special Guest: Karen Baker on Productivity and Organization

Cluttered spaces reduce our productivity by draining energy and focus, adding distractions, and wasting our most valuable resource—time. Getting organized can help improve our mental wellbeing and find the clarity and confidence to accomplish important work. In this meeting, we welcome guest organizer Karen Baker to explore the complex relationship between productivity and organization and offer tips to boost productivity.

We’ve prepared a survey to learn about our audience’s experiences related to this episode’s topic. To answer the survey, please see Survey #289: The Relationship Between Organizing and Productivity.
