Eat That Frog and 21 steps you can take to stop procrastinating Mark Twain was allegedly quoted as saying, "If it's your job to eat a frog, it's best to do it first thing in the morning. And if it's your job to eat two frogs, it's best to eat the biggest one first." 10 Weeks to transform your productivity We have an exciting plan to help you reach your goals and become the best you that you can be! Beginning next week, we will take you through 10 of the best productivity books on the market, one book per week.   This is going to be a very interactive series, because you will only be transformed if you actually take the steps, make the changes, and start the actions needed to improve.

Episode 42: Deep Work by Cal Newport and the steps you can take to get started! What is keeping you from getting your most important things done? It is probably the lack of "Deep Work" in your life. We will talk to you about what you can do to find more Deep Work time and get your most important things done! In this book, Cal Newport draws a clear distinction between two types of work: deep work and shallow work. Deep work is defined as: Professional activities performed in a state of distraction-free concentration that push your cognitive capabilities to their limit. These efforts create new value, improve your skill, and are hard to replicate. Shallow work is: Non-cognitively demanding, logistical-style tasks, often performed while distracted. These efforts tend to not create much new value in the world and are easy to replicate. Cal Newport believes that to achieve deep work, you will need to follow four principles 1.You must engage in deep work itself 2.You must learn how to embrace, rather than avoid “boredom” 3.You must have a plan to “quit social media” 4.You should definitely have a plan to “drain the shallows” We will cover these four principles in more depths and discuss our thoughts on the book in this episode. 10 Weeks to transform your productivity We have an exciting plan to help you reach your goals and become the best you that you can be!

Charles Duhigg said that “Productivity is about making certain choices in certain ways. The way we choose to see ourselves and frame daily decisions; the stories we tell ourselves, and the easy goals we ignore; The sense of community we build among teammates; the creative cultures we establish as leaders:  These are the things that separate the merely busy from the genuinely productive.” This book explores the eight ideas that Mr. Duhigg’s research found to be most important in expanding productivity: Motivation, Teams, Focus, Goal Setting, Managing Others, Decision Making, Innovation, and Absorbing Data 10 Weeks to transform your productivity We have an exciting plan to help you reach your goals and become the best you that you can be!

In First Things First, Stephen Covey says that it matters more WHERE you are going than how fast you get there. He says his approach will provide you with the compass to get there. There is no short-cut, but there is a path based on principles. What you are doing and WHY you are doing it is the most important thing. In this book, he says that the way most people spend their time and what they think is most important are usually NOT aligned. We will tell you how to align your time and your purpose today!

Today we are discussing the book, “The One Thing” by Gary Keller with Jay Papasan and then we will take you through some steps you can take to incorporate the ideas into your life.   The concept behind the one thing is very simple, do the ONE THING.  The harder part is figuring out what YOUR one thing is. Gary Keller says that you should “GO SMALL.”  He says, “Going small is ignoring all the things you COULD do” and actually “doing what you SHOULD do.”   He goes on to say you should recognize that “Not all things matter equally.” You need to find “what matters MOST.”     10 Weeks to transform your productivity We have an exciting plan to help you reach your goals and become the best you that you can be!

In this episode, I'd like to talk about 8 different productivity archetypes i.e. different ways of doing your work. The interesting thing is, you may not fit just one archetype. It's likely that you'll chop and change how you work based on the projects you're working on. For example, my work as a mortgage adviser requires me to be very responsive throughout the day which is where I fit into The Reacter archetype. But when I get home and start working on this side-project, I play the role of The Maker or The Schemer.

This month marks the two-year anniversary of when I officially started working on this blog of mine. Well, actually… I've been blogging on PaulMinors.com for more than two years. But it was two years ago that I decided to focus on the productivity topic and build an online business around helping people in this space. So, where am I now? What have I learned, and what would I do differently if I had to start again? Show notes: PaulMinors.com/51 If you want to be more productive, start my email course, the 7-Day Productivity Plan.

In this episode of the Productivity Podcast, I talk to David Sparks from MacSparky.com and co-host of the Mac Power Users Podcast. Being a fan of the Mac Power Users, I've learned a lot from David and his co-host Katie Floyd all about how to be more productive and efficient on the Mac. He's introduced me to some great new tools and changed the way I use my Mac (for the better). When he's not talking about Mac's or writing about technology, David is a self-employed Business Attorney and needless to say, he's a very productive guy. 1. For those who don't know, who is David Sparks and what do you do? (4.00) 2. How do you balance all the different projects in your life? You're an Attorney, blogger, podcaster and father. How do you fit it all in? (4.43) 3. For people getting started with the Mac, what are the first few things you would have people do to use their Mac more effectively? (6.40) 4. And what about more advanced users? What advice would you give to someone who's already fairly competent and looking to get more out of their Mac? (16.40) 5. If you had to delete all third-party apps but one (so you just get the default suite from Apple), which one app would you choose to keep? (28.00) 6.

In this episode of the productivity podcast, I talk to Brittany Joiner from Project1440.co. Brittany subscribed to my email list about 5 months ago and as many subscribers do, she shared her story and told me her goals and aspirations. She explained how she was in the process of creating a website and it was great to hear of her progress when she followed up a few months later to say she had launched her site on the side, while working full-time. I wanted to invite Brittany on the show as I'm keen to connect with my audience and put a spotlight on their work. Brittany's enthusiasm and motivation is really inspiring and I love that she's executing on her goals, despite a lack of time (we all know how that feels right). 1. Who is Brittany Joiner and what do you do? (2.40) 2. What does productivity mean for you? Why's it a big deal? (8.10) 3. What do you think are the most common problems that people face when it comes to productivity. (11.20) 4.

In this episode of the Productivity Podcast, I talk to Ryan Waggoner who's a master freelancer and expert on how to earn more in the time that you have. One of my biggest takeaways from the episode is why and how to move away from charging hourly to using “value pricing” and charging based on the outcomes that clients are looking for. Even if you're not a freelancer, I'm sure you'll get a lot of value from this episode as you listen to Ryan's productivity processes. And if you've ever considered freelancing or earning a side-income from some skill that you have, then be sure to give this episode a listen as it'll help you to avoid a lot of the mistakes that people often make when charging out their time. Show notes: PaulMinors.com/47 1) Who is Ryan Waggoner and what do you do? (3:15) 2) How did you transition from full-time work to freelancing? (7:59) 3) If you're not going to charge hourly, do you charge a unique price per project? (9:09) 4) How can a full-time worker get started with freelancing "on the side"? (10:50) 5) As someone new to freelancing and consulting, how can I get started with finding prospecting, qualifying clients and getting paid gigs? What does this process look like? (15:40) 6) How can people leverage online “communities” to find clients? (20:13) 7) How many of your clients are new clients you've reached out to vs. referrals or repeat customers? (24:00) 8) How do you raise your rates as demand for your services increases? (27:35) 9) What are your recommended tools or apps for managing clients and getting paid? e.g. Harvest, Pipedrive. (33:06) 10) Tell us about your productivity habits, when it comes to getting work done what is your number one recommendation? (37:51) 11) How do you structure your days and do your work? e.g. the Pomodoro technique, batching tasks etc… (42:26) If you want to be more productive, start my email course, the 7-Day Productivity Plan.

In a recent episode of the Tim Ferriss podcast, Tim interviewed the world famous performance coach, Tony Robbins. In the interview, Tony makes a great case for shifting your focus from achievement and a goal orientated mindset to fulfilment and being happy with what you do (skip forward to 42:08 to listen to this part). Robbins argues that when you focus on achievement, you're never going to be satisfied as you want more. That's the thing with focusing on achievement; if your happiness depends on achieving things, you'll never be happy as you have to achieve more and more. Now compare this to the idea of feeling fulfiled by the work that you do and making this the goal. Now you're much more likely to find and sustain happiness.

“I don't have time” is one of the most common struggles I hear people talk about. It's easy to feel frustrated and overwhelmed when we try to be more organised and plan out our days only to have the plan ruined by endless distractions. When this happens, focusing and sustaining “deep work” is almost impossible. As we try to catch up, we get further away from actually accomplishing our goals and end up spending less time on the things we really care about. The good news is, you're not alone… Today I'd like to share the mistakes that productivity experts from around the world still get caught out by.

In this episode of the Productivity Podcast, I talk to David Mead from Start with Why all about the importance of finding and living your WHY. Your WHY is your purpose and it's the reason you do what you do. In this episode, you'll learn why finding your WHY is so important and the implications this has on productivity. For me, finding my WHY is what helped me to start this website and talk about productivity. My why is: "To develop myself and others so that we can realise our full potential." If my WHY is to get more out of life and realise my full potential, then productivity is HOW I do this. To learn more, check out the podcast and my conversation with David Mead.

I'm sure you've had this feeling before; you have a big project or a task that's going to require a decent amount of your energy and attention.

When we talk about currency, most people think of their income as their main form of currency. When you look at this idea of currency a little closer you'll soon realise that time is one of if not the most important forms of currency we have. You can always earn more money, but time is the finite resource we all share and deciding how to spend your time is one of the most important decisions you'll ever need to make (that's why I'm so passionate about productivity and squeezing more out of life). But, have you ever thought of your health as a form of currency?
