  • So practical and easy to implement!

    I just listened to Amantha’s How I Work podcast episode with Laura Mae Martin around the release of her 2024 book Uptime and it was excellent. So many practical golden nuggets that you can immediately apply to your daily life and productivity habits.

    What really stood out to me was Amantha’s interviewing style. In the productivity and time management space, there’s often a lot of assumed knowledge — people throw around concepts without actually breaking them down in a way that helps listeners ... more

  • Practical Secrets for Peak Performance (without the macho nonsense)

    Amantha Imber's "How I Work" podcast is a goldmine for productivity enthusiasts. The episode featuring Dr. Gabriella Rosen Kellerman on thriving in uncertain times was particularly illuminating. Imber's skillful interviewing unearthed Kellerman's wealth of knowledge on human flourishing in the workplace. I was struck by Kellerman's insights on prospection as a trust-building tool for leaders, and her emphasis on recognition as "almost a vaccine for a crisis of mattering." This podcast consistent... more

  • Productivity hack central!

    What a show, I absolutely enjoy every episode but what I really love are the ‘best of’ recap episodes that narrow in on the top tips from each presenter on how to get more out of each day!

    I have this podcast on regular rotation!!

  • Interesting content and actionable, inspiring ideas

    I was fortunate enough to have Dr Amantha do a presentation to my workplace online during Covid.

    The energy of the Inventium team is really palpable and I really enjoy these ~30 minute snippets to give me ideas I can action with my team!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The 3 questions that reveal whether someone is actually motivated, with Dr Justin Coulson
Q: Okay. I want to know, how do you fit it all in? What are your systems, rituals, habits that make this possible?
He shares a disciplined daily routine (early bike rides, gym, reading, breathwork) and emphasizes doing the things he values consistently to sustain high output, plus structure and prioritization that support efficiency.
Are you an insecure overachiever? Oliver Burkeman on why success never feels like enough
Q: What would you suggest as a first step for someone who wants to stop tying self-worth to achievement?
Shift focus from outcomes to meaning and alignment with your values, recognize that you will never feel entirely 'enough,' and practice selecting a few meaningful actions aligned with your life vision rather than chasing endless optimization.
How I AI: Agents, Projects, and Skills (oh my!): A no-fluff guide on when to use each one
Q: What are these things, Neo, and when should we use them?
Agents are tasks-specific AI helpers; projects are document- and context-heavy containers that group related chats and files; skills are reusable, step-based procedures that ensure consistent execution across work.
Part 2: The loneliness of leadership no one warned you about, with Christian O'Connell
Q: Where in your life could you turn up the connection dial by 10%?
Being more open about struggles with the team, sharing the decision-making process, and naming pressures rather than pretending everything is fine, which creates trust and better collaboration.
How I AI: Cowork explained in 10 Minutes
Q: Now, final question. The Cowork that is going into Microsoft Copilot, is this essentially exactly the same as what we're experiencing in Claude Cowork?
It's very close. Microsoft has integrated Claude technology into their Cowork product and added environment-specific features like Work IQ and cloud-wide visibility, but the core Cowork capabilities for file-based tasks, longer-running processes, and on-device operation remain similar.
