How To Set Rules For Yourself So You Accomplish More Jan 05, 2022

Show notes

It's time to start setting boundaries for yourself, the same way you set boundaries for other people.

I have set 7 rules for myself that help me become more productive every day:

1.❌Don't check email or social media until 4:00 p.m. every day.

2.❌Don't take meetings with people who just want to pick my brain. I get a lot of these requests every week, and if I start saying yes, it will snowball.

3.❌No television in the bedroom, and no technology during mealtimes.

4.✅Be healthy. I try to eat healthy and make time to exercise.

5.❌No calls or meetings before 9 a.m. or after 5 p.m.

6.✅Always make time for family.

7.❌NO meetings or calls on Mondays, Wednesdays, or Fridays.

How about you? What are your boundaries?

How To Master The Art & Science Of Stress Free Productivity With David Allen Jan 03, 2022

Show notes

David Allen is widely recognized as the world's leading expert on personal and organizational productivity. The Getting Things Done Method rests on the idea of moving items of interest, relevant information, issues, tasks and projects out of the mind, by recording them externally, and then breaking them into actionable work items. And this allows attention to be focused on taking action on tasks instead of recalling them.

Three Ways To Battle Entrenched Thinking Dec 29, 2021

Show notes

It doesn't matter what industry you're in. Chances are, there will always be people around you who are used to doing things the old way. So what can you do to battle that entrenched way of thinking?

Jim Heppelmann, CEO of PTC, gave me some really useful advice for how you can fight rooted thinking:

The first thing that Jim did was make change a part of the company's brand. In other words, he would create slogans, like Take a Fresh Look that became part of the organization's core values.

The second piece of advice Jim gave me is that if you want to battle entrenched thinking, you need to lead by example.

If you want to unlock creative ways of solving problems, it's got to start with you. As a leader, you should be taking a fresh look and asking questions.

The third piece of advice Jim gave me is to celebrate change, even if change led to failure. If you have somebody in your organization who's trying to do something new, reward the behavior, don't just focus on the result.

You can't innovate unless you make mistakes and are prepared to fail at some point.

3 Things Leaders Do Dec 29, 2021

Show notes

I've had the opportunity to talk to a lot of great leaders around the world. And I noticed that there are three things that a lot of these great leaders typically do.

✅Take time for themselves Successful business leaders spend time exercising, journaling, meditating, or enjoying quiet time. Whatever it is they do, they always take time for themselves. This is when they get a chance to think big picture and create the vision where they want to go.

✅Have goals Every leader I've interviewed has goals. These can be daily goals or big-picture goals for themselves and where they want the organization as a whole to go.

✅Spend time with other people Leaders don't just spend time with peers and executives. They spend time with people on the front line and with customers. If you want to be a successful leader, make sure you're spending time with people, learning from them, getting feedback from them, and listening to their insights.

4 Tips To Embrace Your Mistakes Dec 15, 2021

Show notes

My dad taught me an important lesson: we should all enjoy our mistakes.

It can be hard to have this positive outlook on life, but everyone should learn how to enjoy their mistakes.

Here are some tips on how to start doing it:

Realize mistakes are common. A lot of people forget that nobody is perfect. When you realize that mistakes are common and everybody makes them, it removes some of that pressure from you.

Remember failure is just a state of mind. Failure is ultimately how you think about the mistake that you made. Realize that it happened and that you should move on and progress and go on to the next thing.

Focus on what you learn. Instead of viewing something as a failure, why don't you ask yourself what you learned.

Enjoy, laugh, share, and move on.
