Attention doesn't always arrive on command. Sometimes it needs an on-ramp. That's why BrainFM is my tool of choice. It's functional music designed to support focus. If your current focus soundtrack isn't doing the job, this is worth trying out.

In fact, try it as an experiment. Go to beyondthetodo list.com slash brainfm. You can use my link and get 20% off and use it for a specific focus block and tell me if it doesn't help you as it has helped me over the past seven plus years or so. Again, go to the link in the show notes or beyondtheto list.com slash brainfm to get 20% off. Hello and welcome back to Beyond, the to-do list, a podcast about productivity.

I am your host, Eric Fisher. And I am excited to welcome back this week Mike Vardi to the show. He's a productivity strategist, longtime friend of the podcast, and author of the new book, The Productivity Diet. In this conversation, we're diving into the language, the systems, and the inputs that you choose each day to either nourish or deplete your ability to do meaningful work. We're talking about that analogy of productivity as nutrition, not punishment.
