15 NOV. 2026 · Why Your Brain Will Not Let Go of Unfinished Work — Work Smarter. An unfinished task stays lit up in your mind long after you walk away from it, which is why the half-written report follows you home. The Zeigarnik effect explains why, and a concrete plan for the next step is what finally switches it off. This episode includes AI-generated narration.
14 NOV. 2026 · The Sydney Opera House was supposed to take four years and cost seven million dollars. It took ten years longer and fourteen times the money, and nobody involved was lazy or stupid. This episode follows the planning fallacy named by Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky, and the four moves that beat it: the outside view, reference class forecasting, the multiplier, and the premortem. This episode includes AI-generated narration.

This episode includes AI-generated narration.

12 NOV. 2026 · You sit down to do the hard thing, and five minutes later a colleague asks a quick question.

This episode includes AI-generated narration.

11 NOV. 2026 · Think about the last meeting you sat through. This episode traces Parkinson's Law from 1955 — work expands to fill the time available — through a 2017 Harvard Business Review study finding executives spend about 23 hours a week in meetings, with 65 percent saying meetings block their own work. It ends with a fix to try this week: shrink the default to 25 minutes and give every meeting a decision and a name. This episode includes AI-generated narration.
