The road from desire to action is long & painful. How can we make it a smooth journey?
Welcome to Episode 11 of Everything is Everything, a weekly podcast hosted by Amit Varma and Ajay Shah.
In this episode, Amit shares his learnings on productivity, beginning with the inspiring story of a young Goan boy, speechless in a grand hall in Lisbon in the 18th century, finding his wits when his father hisses at him -- and at us -- the greatest productivity mantra ever: Kaator Re Bhaaji. Amit explains what this means, and shares a set of productivity tips. Ajay zooms out and talks about the importance of purpose. He also delivers a passionate tribute to Unix!
