What if the problem isn’t your productivity—but the way you’ve been taught to work?
Most of us are still operating with outdated, industrial-era habits… even though today’s work requires focus, creativity, and deep thinking.
In this listener-favorite episode, neuroscientist Dr. Mithu Storoni, author of Hyperefficient, shares how to work with your brain instead of against it—so you can think more clearly, avoid burnout, and perform at a higher level.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- How to align your work with your brain’s natural rhythms for better focus and efficiency
- The “3 gears” of your brain—and how to shift between them depending on the task
- Simple ways to reduce decision fatigue and create an environment that supports deep work
