I’m excited to welcome&nbsp;Mike Vardy&nbsp;back to&nbsp;Beyond The To-Do List&nbsp;for one of our ongoing traditions: Productivity A-Z!This is&nbsp;Part 2&nbsp;of a two-part conversation — and we split it across both shows.&nbsp;<a href="https://mikevardy.com/shifting-vocabulary/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Part 1 is over on Mike Vardy’s podcast, A Productive Conversation</a>. You can also <a href="https://www.youtube.com/live/d1dCvLdWvhU" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">watch the whole two part video here</a>.
