Hi, I'm Kevin Sonney, and I'm a productivity junkie. I didn't mean to become one. Seriously. But I found myself in a company provided class on the Franklin-Covey method (complete with a FREE Franklin Planner!), and it was ON.

We'll talk about my journey, all the things I've tried over the years, and I'll invite some of my friends on to talk about what works for them. I may even manage to get some REAL experts on (a man can dream!) to talk about their particular specialties.

Episode 65 - New Boots, Clair A. Miller

Oct 4, 2018

In our typical manner, what started as a discussion about what we did this week worked it's way around to the impact of foot health on our productivity, followed by a discussion of how Ursula isn't REALLY celebrating the completion of her newest book. After all that, I talk to Clair A. Miller, who is a librarian...
