## Resource

With a PhD in sleep science, Dan Pardi has plenty to say about the relationship between sleep and productivity. In this wide-ranging interview, David Allen talks with Dan about how sleep, rest, and mental acuity affect productivity. Dan's approach is that health is about organizing yourself, effectively managing the project of your body. He's a fan of working from lists, in order to match mental energy to the type of task.
