In episode 705, Megan chats to Yasmin Henley about how to build a sustainable, multichannel food blogging brand without losing your spark or your sanity. Yasmin is the recipe developer and content creator behind By The Forkful, sharing delicious vegetarian recipes that are easy to put together and meals the whole family can enjoy. In this episode, you'll learn how Yasmin grew her blog into a full-time business by showing up consistently across platforms in a way that works for her life, energy, and values. Key points discussed include: - Leverage multiple platforms strategically: Yasmin shares how focusing on SEO first, then adding TikTok and Instagram, helped her create a steady traffic flow that doesn't rely on one source. - Batching is your best friend: Creating and editing multiple recipes and videos at once maximizes productivity and helps avoid creative fatigue. - Keep systems simple and repeatable: Yasmin walks through her exact workflow—from keyword research to publishing and promotion—that keeps her content consistent across platforms. - You don't need to show your face on video: If video content feels intimidating, start by focusing on food-centered footage and using voiceovers to build connection. - Data doesn't lie—go back and look: Yasmin emphasizes reviewing past content monthly to see what worked and reusing or updating it to boost performance. - Social media can revive your blog: A viral TikTok video helped Yasmin bounce back from being removed from an ad network and reignited her blog traffic. - Let your mindset fuel your momentum: Reminding herself to do things her future self will thank her for helped Yasmin push through slow early growth periods. - Start small and grow from there: You don't have to be on every platform right away—try one new thing at a time and build from what works.

This week started with content batching. Batching is an optimizer's tool for ultra productivity. Every month, I create blogs, podcasts, and videos for Carfagno Cleaning and Solo Cleaning School. It takes a ton of time to do each week. I used batching in my cleaning business and in other areas of business over the years. When Teresa's mom was available to watch the kids overnight, we jumped on the opportunity and grabbed a hotel for the night. I got so much done as I batched blog after blog after blog. We also enjoyed time together, so it was a win-win. The following day, I rented an office from my MCBA friend Vernessa Hopkins. Vernessa owns H3 Business Services in Harleysville, PA. The office was perfect and I was able to record all of my podcasts for the upcoming month. My batching goal was to invest a few days and dollars to complete all of my content for a month. I accomplished that! Please keep this in mind. The portion of my batching that related to my solo cleaning business was a small part, so it may not be necessary for you to batch your content. However, you may start sending out newsletters a few times per month, maintain your website, and repurpose content to Facebook and Google My Business. Batching would be a great idea for you at that point.I've been tracking each of my offices from Saturday to Saturday, so I know how long they are taking. Plus, I've made changes to get faster. Over the weekend, I had a difficult email to send. One of these office cleaning clients took me longer because of paint speckles and glitter on the floor as well as increased kitchen areas. I knew I'd have to say something or scope creep would get me! [Before continuing, check out the bonus video, "How do I Deal with Scope Creep" on the Solo Cleaning School YouTube Channel. You'll learn how easy it is for your clients to unintentionally take advantage of you.]When the scope of work increases over time, it causes our cleaning times to increase. The great majority of cleaning companies will NOT raise the price as the scope changes so slowly they don't notice it. Not me! I recognized the potential Scope Creep setting in and knew I would have to send a difficult email. I used the sandwich technique with praise and gratitude in the open and close of the email. In the center, I laid out the areas where the scope has increased. Then I shared how this affects my company. "I clean five offices every Saturday right now. I'm in the process of adding more as well. So when one office starts taking me longer, it ends up costing me money. I'm sure you understand!" Then, I offered possible solutions which either forced them to take ownership and have the staff do more end-of-day cleaning or I would submit a new proposal with higher prices for the increased scope. I was nervous about the outcome as it was surely possible to lose the client, but I had to do this. It's my business and I must run it like one! Fortunately, they responded with consideration and we worked through the solutions together. Ultimately, they decided to take ownership for one portion. The other part, where they've added more kitchen appliances, we decided to alternate half-and-half each week. They gave a little and I didn't raise my prices. It also raised my image of trust and professionalism.Read the rest of this article at the Smart Cleaning School website

You've built your course. Your modules are mapped, your portal's prepped, your curriculum is solid.And then someone asks: “So… where's the community space?”Cue the existential spiral.Because as a therapist, “community” doesn't just mean “extra feature.” It means emotional responsibility. Boundary navigation. And the very real possibility that you'll end up holding space you never consented to.But here's the truth most business coaches skip:When done well, a community component can dramatically improve your program's completion rates, referrals, and student transformation—without draining you.In this episode, we're unpacking the therapist-specific risks of community spaces, the must-have boundaries most course creators miss, and the systems that make a group feel alive without requiring you to be on call 24/7.This isn't just about connection. It's about creating containers that hold your students—and hold you, too.What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why adding a community component often improves completion, retention, and referrals (And how connection helps your students regulate and actually finish the program.) The therapist-specific risks no one warns you about (Scope creep, overgiving, and “holding the group” without consent.)What platform options work best—and which ones to avoid (Yes, Facebook is easy. But is it actually right for your people?)How to set up your community without it taking over your life (Batching, rituals, alumni leaders, and clear boundaries.)The #1 mistake most course creators make with community spaces (And how to fix it with one simple shift.)This episode is for you if:→ You're building an online program and wondering if you “need” a Facebook group → You've already got a group, but it's become… complicated → You want your students to feel supported—but not at your expense → You're looking for sustainable, ethical ways to boost engagement → You're ready to create a space that works for everyone involved—including youLinks & Resources Mentioned: Want to build a high-impact online course as a therapist—with or without a community component?

Welcome back to the Empower Her Business Accelerator podcast! I'm your host, Philippa Channer, and this month we've been unpacking one of the biggest challenges for entrepreneurs—how to find your ideal content rhythm. Last week, we dove into the balancing act between consistency and content quality. And today, we're shifting gears slightly to tackle the burnout that often comes with trying to “do it all.” If you've ever found yourself staring at your laptop at 11 p.m., scrambling to get something—anything—posted just to stay “consistent,” this episode is for you. In this week's episode, we're addressing how to stay visible online without sacrificing your well-being. Burnout doesn't just drain your energy—it can slowly dismantle your creativity and confidence. That's why we're focusing on how to maintain a content schedule that works with your lifestyle and energy, not against it. You'll walk away with practical, sustainable strategies that help you show up consistently and protect your peace. Let's dive into the key takeaways and steps you can implement today: (01:00) Burnout Isn't Just Fatigue—It's a Red Flag Burnout isn't simply about being tired. It's the physical and mental exhaustion that comes from constant output without rest or reward. It often stems from unrealistic schedules, lack of support, or discouragement from lackluster results. ✨ Action Step: Reflect on your recent content efforts. Are they energizing or depleting you? If it's the latter, it's time to reassess. (02:00) Set a Schedule You Can Actually Sustain A “consistent” schedule doesn't mean daily posting—it means showing up reliably in a way that you can maintain long term. Three high-quality posts a week can be far more effective than seven low-energy ones. ✨ Action Step: Review your current posting calendar. Does it reflect your actual capacity, or are you trying to keep up with someone else's strategy? (03:00) Build in Rest Days—Yes, Really Just like your body needs rest after a workout, your creativity needs space to recharge. Scheduling content off-days helps prevent burnout and keeps your energy flowing. ✨ Action Step: Block out at least one content-free day per week in your calendar. Use this time to rest, reflect, or simply engage without producing. (03:50) Embrace Automation and Batching You don't need to be in content creation mode every day. Use tools like Meta Business Suite, Buffer, or Later to pre-schedule posts. Batching your content creation helps you focus deeply and frees up your weekly bandwidth. ✨ Action Step: Choose one content type this week (social posts, emails, etc.) and batch it out for the next few weeks. Schedule it using your tool of choice. (04:30) Don't Be Afraid to Outsource You don't need to do it all alone. Even hiring a virtual assistant for just 2 hours a week can free you from time-consuming tasks like scheduling, designing, or editing. ✨ Action Step: Identify one task that drains your time and energy. Consider delegating it—even in a small way—to start reclaiming your time. (05:00) Shift Your Mindset About Content Creation Stop viewing content as a daily to-do. Instead, see it as a long-term business asset that can be flexible. Two well-placed, impactful posts can drive more engagement than five rushed ones. ✨ Action Step: Give yourself permission to do less. Test a reduced content load and observe the results. Burnout-proof content strategies are not just about what you post but how and why you do it. Sustainable consistency is the key to showing up for your audience while also showing up for yourself. You can grow your brand without draining your energy—and that's exactly what we're committed to helping you do here.

In this short podcast, Bryan talks about how to deal with too much at work and in life. He gives some practical tips to help you when you feel overwhelmed. One of the best ways to get ahead is to wake up early, exercise, get sunlight, stay hydrated, eat healthy, and get enough sleep. Taking care of yourself and giving yourself ample opportunities to set your mind and body up for success can ensure that you have the energy to tackle the challenges at work and in other areas of your life. When you're in the middle of an overwhelming mix of tasks, it helps to take a small break and take some deep breaths. Some people take smoke breaks. Once you have an opportunity to step back and clear your head, try to document all of the things you need to do. You can use a Google Doc with the help of ChatGPT to lay everything out. Once you have all of your tasks in front of you, pick 3-5 things that must get done today and then use your calendar, silence your notifications, and use all the tools at your disposal to focus on those things. Perfectionism and people-pleasing can also get in the way of achieving all of your tasks. You have to be able to accept work that isn't perfect and say no to meetings or unnecessary tasks. You can use tools like Loom to document quick notes instead of holding a meeting. When you can't avoid meetings, try to batch them all at once. Batching, delegating, and automating tasks also come in handy, especially before tasks pile up and spiral out of control. Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show. I've often answered questions on this podcast about the best or most effective time management or productivity system, but I don't think I've answered a question about the best practices before. A practice is something you do each day. It's just what you do. You don't need to think about it. It's automatic. And there is something that the most productive people I've come across do each day, that I find people struggling with their management of time don't do. In many ways, becoming more productive and better at managing time is a two-fold practice. It's the strict control of your calendar and being intentional about what you do each day. Yet to get to those practices each day, takes a change in attitude and the squashing of some pre-conceived ideas. And that is what we'll be looking at in today's episode. Before we get to the question, just a quick heads up. The European time zone friendly Ultimate Productivity Workshop is coming next weekend. Sunday the 18th and 25th May. If you want to finally have a time management and productivity system that works for you, and have an opportunity to work with me and a group of like-minded people, then join us next Sunday. I will put the link for further information into the show notes. Okay, let me now hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question. This week's question comes from Mark. Mark asks, Hi Carl, what do you consider to be the best daily habits for living a productive life? Hi Mark, thank you for your question. This is something that has always fascinated me about the way people work. What is it that the most productive people do that unproductive people don't do. Surprisingly it's not work longer hours. That's usually the domain of unproductive people. What the most productive people do is to have a few daily rituals that are followed every day. Let's start with the easiest one. Have a solid morning routine. It's your morning routine that sets you up for the day. Cast your mind back to a day in your past when you overslept and had to rush out the door to get to work. How productive were you that day? Probably not very. You will have been in a reactive state all day, treating anything and everything as urgent. The “secret” is to use your morning routine to put you in a proactive state. That means looking at your calendar for your appointments for the day and identifying what you must get done that day. Then mentally mapping out when you will do your work. For instance, today I have seven hours of meetings. That does not leave me much time to write this podcast script. Yet, when I began my day, I looked at where my appointments were, saw I had an hour mid morning free and a further hour in the afternoon between 4 and 5 pm. Two hours is enough to get the bulk of this script written. Now all I have to do is resist all demands on my time today so I can get this script written. That's the challenge. Resisting demands. Resisting demands on my time today is reasonably easy. Seven hours of meetings is about my limit anyway. So if someone requests an additional meeting, it'll be quite easy to tell them I am fully booked today and I can offer them an alternative day and time. And that's a mindset shift I would recommend to you. Know where your limits are and to be comfortable offering alternative days and times. If the person demanding your time insists and is in a more senior position to you (does that really happen today?), then you can decide which of your other meetings you could postpone. If your day is full of meetings, make sure you task list reflects that. What I see a lot of people doing is having a day full of meetings and a full task list. Yeah, right. That's not going to happen. For most of us the confirmed, committed meetings will be the priority. Tasks will not be. So, on days when you have a lot of meetings, reduce your task list. That will immediately remove anxiety and give you more focus for your meetings. Next up, is to not use the excuse of a busy day to not do your communications. Email and messages build up very quickly. Just one day neglecting these means tomorrow you will need double the time to get back in control. The goal here is to protect time each day for dealing with your actionable emails and messages. If all you have is thirty minutes, take it. It's surprising how much you can do in thirty minutes. That's a lot better than having to try and find two or three hours the next day to get on top of an out-of-control inbox. Email and messages are the things that are apt to throw you off a well planned day. Yet, it's surprisingly easy to get on top of these if you were to make it a daily practice to spend thirty minutes or more dealing with your actionable emails. The next tip I've picked up from super-productive people is to group similar tasks together. This technique has a few different names. Batching and chunking are two of them. What you are doing is grouping similar tasks together and working on them as one task. For instance, if you have a lot of messages to respond to, you would call that your communication time and do them all at once. This is quite easy with email as you can stay within one app to do the work. You can do this with writing proposals. If you have five or six proposals to write, then schedule time for writing proposals. Don't look at each individual proposal as a single task. See the activity of writing proposals as one task. This way you are working with time. You could set aside an hour or two for doing your proposals and after your allocated time is up, move on to the next category. For example, a sales person, may decide that between 9:30 and 11:00 am, they will do their follow-ups and prospecting, then from 11:30 am do their appointments for the day. Sure, there may be days when a customer can only see you early in the day, and you can move your follow-up and prospecting time to a little later in the day, but what you want to be doing is trying to set up a structure to you day. It just makes your life that little bit easier. The problem with most to-do lists is that they are just that— a list of random things that may or may not need to be done today. If you were to allocate time for doing different types of work, you're going to be pretty much up to date with most things. It's unlikely you will be able to avoid backlogs completely. But if you are consistently doing your important work, nothing is going to get out of control. I think of this very much like running an airport. You've got flights taking off and landing all day. Yet, in the air traffic control centre, you can only land one plane at a time. This means around all commercial airports you will see what is called a holding pattern. This is where planes are circling waiting to be given permission to land. Once a plane is given that permission, it comes into land. Well, you are like that airport. You can only work one piece of work at a time. Everything else waiting for your attention needs to be held in a holding pattern. And like an airport, aircraft in difficulties or running low on fuel will take priority over others. You too, will have little emergencies and urgencies, and you can decide which piece of work has the priority while you are working on the category you are currently working on. This is why ultimately your calendar is your most important productivity tool. That's directing your day. It tells you where you need to be at what time. It also tells you where you have time for doing your tasks. If you leave things open, it's likely to be stolen by low value stuff or other people. Making it a practice to plan your day using your calendar, ensures that you have the time to do what needs to be done and if you don't do it, there's only one person to blame—you. Never ignore your calendar. Reschedule, by all means, but never ignore it. It's your calendar that will ensure you know when to leave to pick your son up from school, and what time that appointment with an important client is. The final part is to know what your non-negotiables are. These are the things you will never miss. For example, three things I will never miss are writing my journal each morning, taking my dog for a walk and my thirty minutes of exercise each day. Start with your personal life. What are you non-negotiables there? Then look at your professional life. What are you non-negotiables at work. For example, with the exception of my calls days, I will ensure I spend at least two hours working content each day. If you were a designer or engineer, that could be spending a minimum of two hours designing or engineering. Ensuring you have a few hours each day dedicated to doing the work you were hired to do, will put you ahead of most of your colleagues. When you have non-negotiables, you find planning your day is easy. I know Louis needs his walk, I know also that when I wake up, after making my coffee, I'll be sitting down to write my journal. I don't need to think about these things. The only thing I need to decide is where Louis and I will go today. We try to go somewhere different each day. I also find towards the end of the afternoon, I begin thinking about what exercise I will do today. There's no question about whether I will exercise or not. Exercise is a non-negotiable. All I need to decide is what I will do in my thirty minutes. Non-negotiables can be anything that is important to you. I've had clients who would never miss their meditation session, or go to the Synagogue, or temple in the early morning. Others won't miss their Saturday morning family breakfast. The key here is to identify what your non-negotiables are and then do them. I hope that has helped, Mark. Thank you for your question. And thank you to you too for listening. It just remains for me now to wish you all a very very productive week.

Batching work applies with nurses too. Do multiples things when you enter the room, so you don't have to go in and out many timesBen talks about efficiency in the field being important due to the limited time and resourcesAs providers we must get comfortable with saying “I don't know”In medicine in general we don't know everything, nor can we diagnose everything. Especially true in emergency medicineChest pain is a great example. We don't get a clear answer or diagnose most of the timeWe must be careful what we tell patients is going on when there is not a clear answer. Specific diagnoses will follow patient for a long time Ben talks about some struggles new EMT and paramedics have and how the scope of a paramedic is still poorly understood, they often hear “I didn't know you could do that?”Teaching the EMT and paramedic students the context of the “why” behind treatments and not just the skills themselvesThe difference between magic and medicine is we can trouble shoot and analyze medicine, we know why it works and if it doesn't there is usually an explanationKeep your mind open and learn from others. You can usually find someone that has a similar style as you, but you can also learn a ton from those who practice different from youAsk a lot of questions, grow your confidence graduallyYou need to master the more mundane tasks before moving to the exciting in some circumstancesCharge nurses need to help develop their team and communicate wellBe a mentor and correct people in a non-public setting, grow people instead of getting rid of them if they are strugglingFind a mentor or multiple mentors when you are new and when you have some experience, mentor people You must be constantly teaching newer people and learning from more experienced people in medicineYou can make or break someone's medical experience when they are new to the fieldCultures can be developed by the poor attitudes of a few crews or staffYou have to guard against the bias that those that are burned out can bringConstructive criticism can come from even those that are not nice or not tactful if you can be open enough to take the feedbackYou can learn from anyone, even those lower on the perceived hierarchySupport the showFull show notes can be found here: Episodes - Practical EMS - Content for EMTs, PAs, ParamedicsMost efficient online EKG course here: Practical EKG Interpretation - Practical EMS earn 4 CME and learn the fundamentals through advanced EKG interpretation in under 4 hours.
