It’s named after a study done in the 1920s, where researchers found that workers became more productive when they realized they were being observed, regardless of the actual working conditions.

In this episode, you will also learn about how it works and how you can effectively use it to become more productive, enjoy tracking more, and ultimately reach your goals.
