In this episode of The Made for More Podcast, host Ally Nitschke welcomes productivity expert Donna McGeorge, who introduces the concept of Red Brick Thinking.
Instead of adding more policies, tasks, or meetings, Donna shows us how strategic subtraction; removing what’s unnecessary, can simplify work and boost effectiveness.
She explains how shifting away from “addition bias” helps us focus on what truly matters, both at work and at home.

Red Brick Thinking is ultimately about making space for what really counts.
