5-MINUTE FRIDAY: How To Use Vulnerability As a Productivity Hack

Category: Health
Duration: 00:10:42
Publish Date: 2026-01-16 09:00:00
Description:

We all have them: "Monster" tasks on our to-do lists that we avoid for weeks or even months. For 5MF this week, I'm sharing a personal story about how I tackled mine by doing something I used to consider weak: Asking for help.

Aside from talking about "body doubling"—simply having another person in the room to keep you focused and anchored while you work, I also answer a listener question on dynamic versus static stretching.
