230: Optimizing Your Productivity: The Power of $10K Work with Khe Hy

Author: Aileen Xu May 14, 2023 Duration: 1:02:41
In this society, we are “addicted” to productivity and always being on the move, always having to be “busy” doing something. We often speak about rest, reflection and self-care as if it were the opposite to productivity and progress. In this episode, Khe Hy talks about how productivity is not the end, but the means, and how to work smarter and focus on the right things. Khe also discusses his philosophy and optimizing your life for ALIVENESS.

Khy Hy is the founder and CEO of RadReads, an online education company that helps professionals lead productive, examined and joyful lives. Khe is creator of the $10K Work productivity method and teaches the popular cohort-based course Supercharge Your Productivity. RadReads provides guides, trainings, and coaching for over 40,000 professionals to help them gain back free time, scale their impact and make their little dent in the universe.
