Podcasts about daily planning

What if your biggest productivity challenge isn't time—but how you choose to use it? In this episode, Michael and Christian explore how clarity and structure can transform the way we work and lead. They share practical techniques for setting priorities, staying focused, and creating space for what truly matters. Drawing on the "rocks, pebbles, sand" metaphor, they offer a simple yet powerful approach to organizing tasks and managing energy. You'll also learn why saying “yes” to everything often means saying “no” to what's most important. If you're looking for a more intentional way to work and lead, this episode is for you.

Dr. Laurel Mellin is a health psychologist who founded and developed emotional brain training (EBT). She is an associate clinical professor of family and community medicine and pediatrics at the University of California San Francisco. Dr. Mellin has authored papers on the science and efficacy of EBT and is a New York Times bestselling author of four books on the method. Stress and trauma—especially from early childhood—can create survival circuits in the brain, which drive coping mechanisms such as overworking, emotional withdrawal, and unhealthy habits like overeating or excessive perfectionism. Most people, particularly those in their 40s and 50s, often feel emotionally drained and disconnected because of stress. Dr. Laurel describes five levels of stress in the brain, from a calm, connected state (Level 1) to a stressed-out state (Level 5), where the emotional brain takes over. EBT helps shift individuals from a higher stress level to a more positive, calm state, where they can make better decisions.The emotional brain influences decision-making and relationships, and simply relying on logic and hard work isn't enough to address deep emotional needs. Emotional well-being requires addressing the emotional circuits that control our reactions and behaviors. The goal of EBT is to teach individuals how to rewire these circuits for better emotional regulation, so they can improve their mental health, have stronger relationships, and overall life satisfaction.EBT, as Dr Mellin says, helps in weight reducing and her idea with integrative approach—featuring small groups, app support, and telephone coaching—sets it apart from traditional psychotherapy.Let's see what is in our brains so we can live happier lives!Dr. Laurel Mellin is a health psychologist who founded and developed emotional brain training (EBT).

Burnout is preventable. It's within our control to take action and prioritize self-care.Dr. Nekeshia Hammond is a leadership development coach, mental wellness expert, and keynote motivational speaker who helps high performers navigate burnout, exhaustion, and resiliency. In this episode, she dives deep into the importance of self-care for maintaining mental, physical, and emotional well-being. It is important to recognize burnout and find personal ways to reset, it with the help of support. Jen and Dr. Nakeshia challenge the outdated "go, go, go" mentality and encourage us to embrace a more balanced approach to life, where self-care is not just an option, but a priority.Dr. Nekeshia explains that the ‘baby steps approach' is the only way to get lasting results. Women must overcome any guilt tied to self-care. If you're feeling burned out and overwhelmed, taking small, but intentional steps each day will lead to lasting change and help you rediscover your balance and well-being. All of which is crucial for business owners.

Businesses suffer when their owners do not prioritize their health.Ellen Goldman, M.Ed., NBC-HWC, PCC, is a wellness coach, healthy lifestyle and weight loss coach, speaker, and author. She is passionate about serving others and helping them achieve their health and wellness goals.Ellen explains that the real challenge lies in behavior change. Many people attempt to overhaul their lifestyles, but this approach often leads to burnout and failure. The key is mindset and motivation, which serve as the foundation for lasting change.Ellen introduces her MAP framework—Mindset, Awareness, and Preparation—as the blueprint for sustainable health habits. The first step is shifting your mindset from "I don't have time for self-care" to "I make time for self-care."Ellen also explains success in weight loss differently. It is a result of correcting overall lifestyle imbalances—such as stress, sleep, and exercise—rather than simply restricting food intake.Start with small, manageable changes and embrace a mindset of long-term health; this will lead to both personal fulfillment and business success.Show notes:

Welcome back to “Building Better Developers” as we continue our journey through Season 23, focused on building better habits. In Episode 6, Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche dive into the fundamental skill of planning and scheduling as a daily practice. This episode stresses the importance of structuring your day with a manageable, prioritized list of tasks. We will show you how doing this can improve productivity and mental clarity. Here's a recap of the key takeaways on how to build a sustainable planning habit. The Power of Daily Planning and Scheduling Rob starts by emphasizing the need to tackle tasks with intention. Careful not to jump into work or focus on the sheer volume of items on our plate. Instead, try listing three to five key tasks each day. This helps create a rhythm of accomplishment without overwhelming ourselves. By setting a small number of important, actionable tasks, you can avoid the common pitfall of listing out everything. Which often leads to a scattered approach and unachieved goals. Rob encourages choosing tasks with intent, noting that they should be neither trivial (like “making coffee”) nor overly ambitious. The list should include meaningful tasks that you can realistically accomplish in a single day. This practice also gives you a sense of direction and accomplishment. That way, you're consistently moving forward rather than feeling lost in an endless sea of tasks. Prioritizing Your Least Favorite Task: Eating the Frog One critical strategy Rob shares is a concept from productivity expert Brian Tracy called “eating the frog.” This means tackling the most challenging or unpleasant task first thing in the day. When you get your least appealing task out of the way, it creates a positive momentum for the rest of your day. Completing the “frog” task early can lead to a greater sense of relief and accomplishment, removing the mental burden of anticipation and allowing you to focus more positively on other activities. Setting Tasks That Can Be Completed Rob stresses that each task on your list should be something with a clear end. Tasks should be specific and manageable rather than vague or overly broad. For example, instead of listing a task like “build a new app,” Rob suggests breaking it down: start with a smaller step, such as creating a user login page or designing a database structure. By specifying tasks to a level that can realistically be achieved in a couple of hours, you'll be more likely to complete your daily list and avoid carrying over tasks. Michael Meloche, Rob's co-host, adds his perspective on task organization. He explains his habit of keeping his to-do list small, which he does by using a piece of paper no bigger than an index card. This method limits the number of tasks he can fit, reinforcing Rob's approach to keeping the day's workload focused. Planning and Scheduling Tip: Avoid Overloading Your Day In a typical eight-hour workday, Rob suggests planning for about six hours of focused work. This buffer accounts for inevitable interruptions or unexpected tasks that might arise throughout the day. By slightly underfilling your day, you're more likely to end up finishing everything on your list while also having time to deal with the “little things” that often pop up. Rob's approach ensures that the day feels productive without leading to burnout. Overestimating what you can do is a common trap, but by setting achievable goals, you can leave each day feeling accomplished rather than stressed about what's left to do. Daily Planning and Scheduling Challenge: Build Your Routine For the next week, we challenge listeners to follow this structure daily, including on weekends. Whether it's a workday or a day off, try to set a small list of three to five tasks each morning or the night before. On your off days, tasks might look different, but the practice of building a daily routine and setting priorities remains valuable. It's this daily repetition that helps turn planning into a habit. On top of setting the list, Rob recommends adding a bit of prioritization. The most dreaded task should go at the top, and any remaining tasks should be organized by importance and urgency. This approach helps build discipline in handling responsibilities and gradually reinforces a habit of proactive task management. Fine-Tuning Your Approach to Task Planning Rob and Michael discuss a few other tips to help improve daily planning skills: 1. Batch Similar Tasks: Group tasks of a similar nature together. For example, if you're working on an app, plan to do related tasks (like database setup and backend configuration) in succession. This minimizes mental switching and keeps you focused. 2. Stick to Your Routine: The consistency of writing a daily list and following it builds the habit of planning. By keeping it small and achievable, you're also more likely to feel encouraged by daily wins. 3. Celebrate Completion: As you complete each task, enjoy the satisfaction of crossing it off the list. This positive reinforcement motivates you to continue and look forward to completing tasks each day. Wrapping Up: Planning and Scheduling for a Better You In conclusion, Episode 6 encourages us to treat planning as a daily exercise to manage work better and reduce stress. By following the challenge and focusing on prioritized, manageable tasks, you can build a habit that supports consistent progress without the mental strain of scattered goals. As the hosts remind us, achieving balance and clarity through daily planning is a crucial habit for developers and anyone looking to improve productivity. So, take on the challenge, list your tasks, and start building the planning habit.
