Send us a textBonus episode # 87: Where are your 2025 goals right now? If you've stalled or need to recalibrate, you're not alone. Sometimes life shifts dramatically after we set our annual targets, requiring us to adjust without abandoning our aspirations. Remember—adjusting your plan isn't quitting; it's strategic adaptation that keeps you moving forward while acknowledging your current reality.Leadership excellence forms the heart of this episode, with a deep dive into five critical focus areas that transform good managers into exceptional leaders. Starting with setting the right example, we explore how performing the same work as your team while treating everyone with dignity creates the foundation for leadership credibility. Holding people accountable—perhaps the greatest service you can provide—helps develop future leaders while clearing pathways for team excellence by identifying and removing obstacles that prevent optimal performance. Strategic thinking, the ability to anticipate future developments and prepare accordingly, separates visionary leaders from reactive managers. We also tackle the sometimes challenging reality that your boss's priorities must become your priorities, using tools like the Eisenhower Matrix to balance urgent tasks with important initiatives.The episode culminates with perhaps the most significant leadership responsibility: elevating others through thoughtful development opportunities. While some team members prefer routine responsibilities, high-potential individuals thrive when challenged with projects that stretch their capabilities without causing burnout. Throughout these leadership principles runs the common thread of self-care—proper sleep, nutrition, exercise, and downtime aren't luxuries but necessities that enable sustained leadership excellence. Technical expertise might be expected, but the true measure of leadership lies in your ability to elevate team performance to unprecedented levels. Ready to transform your leadership approach?

On episode one hundred and forty of Holy Ghost Notes, Matt talks about the double bass course he's been working on then talks a little about the recently re-recorded Thrill Seeker album while busting Tim's chops. The guys chat about the ever-relevant topic of “Just Do It” encouraging everyone (especially themselves) to stop putting off the thing you want to do. Similarly, they approach the topic of procrastination as it pertains to “squeezing your faith in” when its convenient.

The key to a life well-lived is prioritization, but people rarely explain how to do it effectively. In Managing Priorities: How to Create Better Plans and Make Smarter Decisions (Rosenfeld Media, 2024), Harry Max provides a useful guide. He explains how learning to prioritize is helpful in life as well as at work. He explains how he - and his clients - feel a sense of freedom, as though a weight is lifted, when it's clear what is most important and they are able to focus on those things. In this relatable approach, Max acknowledges that avoidance behavior is natural, and clarifies the need to understand the costs of not prioritizing intentionally. Drawing on methods used at Apple, DreamWorks, NASA, Adobe, Google, Microsoft, and beyond, Harry Max presents a practical method that you can apply either for single large decisions or for ongoing efforts. In the book he introduces the "daily boot", a way to start the day by clearing out the fog of competing efforts, and his DEGAP® method: Decide, Engage, Gather, Arrange, Prioritize. Max demystifies common prioritization frameworks by providing guidance on how and when to use them, either together or separately. These include the Eisenhower Matrix, the Analytic Hierarchy Process, Paired Comparison, and Stack Ranking among others. Mentioned resources: The New How by Nilofer Merchant The Crux: How Leaders Become Strategists by Richard P. Rumelt The Kano model by Noriaki Kano.

Overcoming laziness can be a transformative journey that enhances productivity, personal growth, and overall well-being. Here are several strategies to help you stop being lazy and start taking action:Understanding LazinessLaziness is often a psychological limitation that affects productivity and personal performance. It can stem from various causes such as lack of motivation, fear of failure, feeling overwhelmed, or simply being uninspired. Recognizing these underlying issues is the first step towards overcoming laziness.Practical Strategies to Overcome LazinessSet Clear GoalsSetting clear, achievable goals is crucial. Goals provide direction and focus, making it easier to take action. Use the SMART criteria (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) to set goals that are compelling and exciting in various areas of your life.Create Strong RoutinesRoutines can automate your daily tasks, reducing the mental energy required to decide what to do next. Establish routines for exercise, work, and even leisure time to ensure consistency and reduce the temptation to procrastinate.Exercise RegularlyPhysical activity is a keystone habit that impacts every aspect of your life positively. Regular exercise boosts energy levels, improves mood, and reduces stress, making iteasier to tackle tasks with vigor.Practice Positive Self-TalkReplace negative self-talk with positive affirmations. Instead of saying, "I'm too lazy," affirm, "I can do this, and I will give it my best." Positive self-talk can significantly boost your confidence and motivation.Break Tasks into Micro-TasksLarge tasks can seem daunting, leading to procrastination. Break them down into smaller, manageable tasks. This approach not only makes the work seem less overwhelming butalso provides a sense of accomplishment as you complete each micro-task.Use Time Management Techniques Pomodoro Technique: Work for 25 minutes, then take a 5-minute break. This method helps maintain focus and manage interruptions effectively. Time Boxing: Allocate specific time slots for tasks, ensuring you work on them within that time frame. Two-Minute Rule: If a task takes less than two minutes, do it immediately. This helps clear small tasks quickly, freeing up mental space for larger ones. Prioritize TasksUse tools like the Eisenhower Matrix to prioritize tasks based on urgency and importance. Focus on the most critical tasks first to ensure they get done.Reward YourselfSet up a reward system for completing tasks. Rewards can be anything from a treat, a break, or time spent on a hobby. This positive reinforcement can motivate you to keep going.Cultivate AccountabilityFind an accountability partner or use tools like an accountability calendar. Sharing yourgoals with someone else or tracking your progress visually can provide the external motivation needed to overcome laziness.Make Tasks Fun Incorporate elements of fun into your work. Listen to music, use a fitness tracker to see how many steps you take while working, or turn tasks into games. Making work enjoyable can reduce the resistance to starting.Plan Your Work and Free Time Schedule your work and leisure time. Knowing when you have breaks or free time can make the work periods more bearable and less daunting.
