289: How My Apple Watch Made Me More Productive
When I got my Apple Watch (Series 3), I had no idea that it would actually make me more productive. The reason why is very simple: the Watch gives users very limited functionality. This is by design.

My Worst Podcast Ever
Welcome to the worst podcast I've ever done! HA! Why? Because this is my first podcast ever, so by definition, this should be my worst podcast. If not, then I'm doing something wrong. It is my goal to improve with each one.
And so it begins...
My name is Mark Struczewski and I am a next level productivity specialist. I help people just like you take their productivity to, well, the next level. What do I mean by that? I explain in this premiere episode.
In this introduction podcast, I tell you my story. Why I decided to create a podcast (and it's not because podcasts are white hot!) and what my vision is.
But wait, there's more!
I will deliver value in every episode. Including this one. So, it's not just a "Hi, I'm Mark Struczewski and this is my story" podcast.
