144. 3 Productivity Traps Even Smart People Fall For
Episode 144
Automated AI agents that let you nap while your work is done for you, the latest project management software that promises you'll never be overwhelmed again... color-coded email inboxes with rules that drag every new message into its own folder so you'll never have to deal with another message.
