Today, Den dives deeper than a Hokkaido pearl diver and pulls up some shiny pearls of wisdom on time management and productivity that even the most organized and efficient of people will benefit from.  And... he reveals some little-known ways to reduce stress. 

But first...

Here's a sneak peek at what you'll hear:
