• 3588: Productivity and the Goose that Laid the Golden Eggs by Jacob Lund Fisker of Early Retirement Extreme

  Discover all of the podcasts in our network, search for specific episodes, get the Optimal Living Daily workbook, and learn more at: OLDPodcast.com. Episode 3588: Jacob Lund Fisker challenges traditional views of productivity by emphasizing that true output isn't about managing time, but about wisely using finite reserves of creative, physical, and social energy. By likening productivity to a goose that can only lay one golden egg per day, he highlights the critical importance of balancing extraction, maintenance, and expansion to sustain long-term success without burnout. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://earlyretirementextreme.com/productivity-and-the-goose-that-laid-the-golden-eggs.html Quotes to ponder: "Productivity is not about maximizing extraction. The rate of extraction must not be maximized. Maximizing extraction is bad." "If a person creates a lot of value in a single day, you can rest assured that very little of the same kind of value will be produced the next day." "Productivity, therefore, is not about expending time more efficiently - it’s not about expending more energy either. It is about expending energy most efficiently." Learn more about your ad choices.
