What happens when the host becomes the guest? In this special episode of A Productive Conversation, I sit on the other side of the mic as Tim O’Hare—an active and insightful member of the TimeCrafting Trust Premium community—interviews me about my latest book, The Productivity Diet.

We explore why this book took years to come together, what makes it different from typical productivity guides, and how it offers a more sustainable and value-driven path toward productiveness. Tim asks great questions, and we dive into the mindset, structure, and lived experiences that shaped the book.

Six Discussion Points

Why I resisted writing The Productivity Diet—and what finally pushed it forward
The shift from productivity to productiveness: a deeper and more durable focus
How the three-part structure (Mindset, Practice, Mastery) came to life
The role of reflection and rhythm in building sustainable systems
How metaphors like “dieting” help make abstract concepts tangible
The importance of having a supportive community while crafting time intentionally

Three Connection Points

This episode isn’t just a behind-the-scenes look at the book—it’s a conversation about what it really means to live with intention, apply attention wisely, and develop a practice that fits real life. Whether you've read the book or are just getting curious, this episode will give you clarity and maybe even a nudge to reflect on your own relationship with time.
