The Productivityist Podcast: Zen and The Art of Work with Kourosh Dini
My guest for this episode is Kourosh Dini – a psychiatrist, writer, musician, and author. Some of his works include Zen & The Art of Work, Creating Flow with OmniFocus, and Workflow Mastery.
I’ve met Kourosh a couple of years ago when we worked together for the OmniFocus set-up. I love his work and have always seen him as a thoughtful productivity strategist who knows his stuff.
Some of the things we talked about this week are:
How meditation shifts our mindset which ultimately makes us more mindful and productive (3:04).
The importance of pausing and practical tips on how to apply it in your life (4:55).
Personalization and why it’s important in your daily interactions (8:03).
Why play time is a necessary ingredient in performance, productivity, and happiness at work (11:26)
How music can boost your productivity, creativity, and overall sense of well-being (16:40).
Kourosh’s thoughts on ambient sound apps and how he uses them in his own workflow (20:05).
The five elements of good health, according to Kourosh (23:00).
Kourosh’s take on meditation and his recommendations for those who want to start meditating (24:05).
