Summary: <p>"The Mikes" are joined by <a href="http://www.kouroshdini.com/">Kourosh Dini</a> of <a href="http://www.usingomnifocus.com/">Using OmniFocus</a> and Thanh Pham of <a href="http://www.asianefficiency.com/">Asian Efficiency</a> to talk about their mutual interest and obsession with the topic of productivity. All four share what led them to the topic, how they go about doing things and how this informs the way they talk about talking about doing things. Beyond their own interest in the subject, <a href="http://bettermess.com/">Schechter</a>, <a href="http://productivityist.com/">Vardy</a>, Dini and Pham all discuss the current state of the productivity space by examining where it helps (and when it hurts) those who turn to it.</p> <p><strong><em>Note:</em></strong> After the episode, "The Mikes", Kourosh and Thanh all geek out about OmniFocus 2.
