Time-starved. That was me.Every morning, I'd make my to-do list. And by the end of the day, it would be LONGER, not shorter.All day long, I raced from task to task — and then from my home office to my mom's assisted living to the run club happy hour.If — heaven forbid — I was bored for a minute, I took it as an invitation to dive into my Trello project backlog. (Which was extensive.)I was constantly in motion. But never quite getting anywhere. Stuck at the same weight, run splits, drinks per week, business earnings, etc.And honestly, starting to look like a shipwrecked castaway because I couldn't even find the time to get a haircut

Do you know what to say "yes" to and what to say "no" to? In this episode, Garrett discusses two main points from the book Essentialism by Greg McKeown. The first point is about making decisions based on whether something is a 'heck yes' or not. Garrett encourages listeners to prioritize their time and say no to things that are not a strong yes. The second point is about zero-based scheduling, where Garrett advises starting from scratch and intentionally choosing what to include in the schedule. He emphasizes the importance of being intentional with time and not letting pride or laziness dictate the schedule.TakeawaysPrioritize your time and say no to things that are not a 'heck yes'Start from scratch when scheduling and intentionally choose what to includeDon't let pride or laziness dictate your scheduleChapters00:00 Making Time for What Matters: The 'Heck Yes' Principle13:53 Starting from Scratch: Zero-Based Scheduling17:36 Overcoming Pride and Laziness in Scheduling⭐️ Rate & Review:If this episode challenged or encouraged you, leave a 5-star review and share it with another Christian agent who needs to hear this message.

In this episode, I'm diving into the book Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less by Greg McKeown—aka the book my podcast guest, Rick Yarosh (last week's episode) recommended and the book I wish I'd read before I burned out the first time. If you feel like your life and career are one giant scribble of overcommitment, guilt, and busyness, this one's for you. We'll talk about how to get clear on what really matters, how to stop saying yes out of obligation, and why having a choice changes everything.I'll share the top pearls from the book—like how to create a zero-based life budget, how the sunk cost fallacy keeps us stuck, and why your “meh” obligations might be crowding out your joy. This isn't about becoming lazy or dropping all your responsibilities—it's about reclaiming your time, energy, and sanity. If you've ever felt trapped by your job, your schedule, or your own people-pleasing habits, this episode will help you cut through the chaos and start choosing your life again.CONNECT WITH HOPE:BOOK:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Healing Clinician Burnout, How to Revive Your Life and Career ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠(available in ebook and paperback)CONNECT/COACHING:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Hope's Website: www.coachhopecook.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Hope's IG @coachhopecook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Hope's FB @hopeallencook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Hope's LinkedIn: hope-cook-56041283/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Hope's YouTube @coachhopecook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email: hope.cook@gmail.comLove y'all, and remember: There's always hope!

I'm diving into a topic that's been on my mind lately: the idea of "time wealth"—and, just as importantly, "time debt." After coming off a busy stretch like tax season, I often find myself trying to catch up on everything I put on hold, only to realize I'm paying for it in stress, exhaustion, and those lost moments I wish I'd shared with my family. Inspired by insights from Greg McKeown and Ann Laure Lecomte, I reflect on the many faces of time anxiety—from the frantic rush of daily life to worries about the future to that existential feeling that time with my kids and wife is slipping away too fast.  Additionally, I share some perspectives on defining what "time well spent" really means. I hope this creates awareness to be more intentional about your own time, reduces the anxiety that comes with always feeling behind, and reminds you—and myself—that it's never too late to focus on what truly makes us happy.

I don't think there has been a time in the history of coffee shops where we have been so distracted by things that promise to bring value but turn out to be simply distractions. Noise vs signal, image vs substance, and so forth. In my year of coffee I have seen plenty of cafes burn out from pursuing and building their businesses according to these distractions.  Today we are going to detail what these distractions are and what to replace them with and why it is so critical. We have the most resources of any time in the history of coffee but we also have a diminished capacity for discern between what is of value and what is not. It is my hope this episode can give you more clarity to sharpen your discernment.  We talk about: The pitfalls of prioritizing speed over quality How trends can distract from your cafe's unique identity Building trust and relationships over chasing clout The importance of curiosity and gradual improvement Why internal quality control trumps external certifications Listen to these related episodes! 269 : What to Focus on after you Launch 224 : Essentialism: Focusing on what truly Matters w/ Greg McKeown 173 : 5 Areas of Focus for Retailers 472: Why Technical Skill as a Leader is Not Enough w/ Jonathan Raymond, Refound, Author: Good Authority 181 : Organizational Self-Knowledge KEYS TO THE SHOP OFFERS 1:1 CONSULTING AND COACHING!

Kurt Francom, Executive Director of Leading Saints, shares his thoughts on the unwritten order of things—a term popularized by Elder Boyd K. Packer in a BYU devotional in October 1996. This phrase has influenced leadership culture in the Church, often being used as a trump card to justify certain practices or norms that are not explicitly documented in church handbooks. Listen to a reading of the original devotional. Links Is Aspiring Wrong?

He emphasizes the importance of understanding the principles behind leadership practices rather than blindly adhering to unwritten rules that may not serve the best interests of the community. He outlines the ten unwritten orders of things mentioned by Elder Packer, assessing whether each principle is supported by the church handbook. While some of these principles align with current guidelines, others are not formally recognized, raising questions about their validity and application in modern leadership. Kurt encourages listeners to consider the implications of using the unwritten order of things as a means of manipulation or control, and advocates for a more open dialogue about leadership best practices, urging leaders to communicate their expectations clearly rather than relying on vague traditions. He invites listeners to engage in this conversation, share their experiences, and contribute to a culture of effective leadership where the church can more-effectively draw people to Christ. 00:02:47 - Context of Elder Packer's Talk 00:04:11 - The Unwritten Order of Things Explained 00:05:24 - Weaponization of the Unwritten Order 00:06:05 - Importance of Context in Leadership 00:07:51 - Changes in Handbook Accessibility 00:09:05 - Elder Packer's Teaching Style 00:10:08 - Challenges in Communicating Leadership Guidelines 00:11:22 - The Role of General Authorities in Leadership 00:12:03 - Misinterpretation of the Unwritten Order 00:13:40 - Elder Packer's Ten Unwritten Orders 00:14:01 - Analysis of Each Unwritten Order 00:19:05 - The Role of Personal Counsel in Leadership 00:20:30 - Observing Church Customs and Traditions 00:21:23 - Setting a Tone of Dignity in Meetings 00:22:06 - The Balance of Leadership and Followership 00:23:20 - Binding Nature of the Unwritten Order 00:24:03 - Current Unwritten Orders in Leadership 00:25:07 - The Tyranny of General Authority 00:26:20 - The Importance of Local Leadership Autonomy 00:27:34 - Principles vs. Prescriptions in Leadership 00:29:41 - Establishing Best Practices in Leadership 00:30:57 - Conclusion: Moving Beyond the Unwritten Order The award-winning Leading Saints Podcast is one of the top independent Latter-day Saints podcasts as part of nonprofit Leading Saints' mission to help Latter-day Saints be better prepared to lead.

I've been thinking a lot about prioritizing lately, mostly because I've been shifting the way I prioritize things in my life the last few months. My priorities desperately needed to change so that work wasn't always #1, and I wasn't always chasing an endless to-do list of busywork.Because “when you prioritize the important over the urgent, you don't just get more done, you get the right things done. And that's the difference between a busy life and a meaningful one.” - Greg McKeown.So today's quickie reveals how to break free from the cult of busyness and master the art of prioritization using productivity minimalism principles inspired by Greg McKeown best-selling book, Essentialism. We dive into why you're focusing on urgent tasks instead of important priorities, along with actionable strategies to create a more meaningful, intentional life. I break down The Law of Inverse Prioritization, which explains why the most important things in life (health, relationships, personal growth) often get neglected while urgent but meaningless tasks consume all of our time and energy.Tune in to hear:Productivity minimalism strategies for focusing on high-impact activitiesThe difference between urgent and importantTime management tricks through intentional prioritizationWork-life balance and escaping the busyness addiction cycleMy priorities in this season of life (Burnout prevention, relationships, writing and health)Time blocking techniques for non-negotiable important activities3 key questions for your prioritization and decision-making frameworkOrganizing your life around purpose and impactResources mentioned:Greg McKeown's Instagram videoGreg's book and academy on EssentialismFor advertising and sponsorship inquiries, please contact Frequency Podcast Network.

Jeff Strong worked nearly 30 years in the consumer products industry as a senior executive at Procter & Gamble and global president and chief customer officer at Johnson & Johnson. He then taught in the Marriott School of Business at Brigham Young University and worked as an advisor to the Church before serving as a mission leader in the Arkansas Bentonville Mission. Jeff has since spent several years doing research on why people are leaving the Church. While not a professional researcher, his career involved a large amount of research and the research he shares in this podcast was done with the help of some of the top Latter-day Saint researchers in the world. Today, Jeff lives in Midway, Utah, and stays busy with a little lavender farm, some business consulting, and enjoying family. Links Share your thoughts in the Leading Saints community Transcript coming soon Get 14-day access to the Core Leader Library Highlights In this conversation, Jeff dives deep into the tension between church culture and personal beliefs, and how embracing it can lead to growth and understanding within our church community. He discusses the findings from a comprehensive survey that aimed to understand disaffiliation and the tensions members experience in their church lives. A key takeaway is the importance of understanding what members love about the Church, revealing the core values that bind members together, despite the tensions they may feel. Jeff talks about the tensions present in church culture, emphasizing the dual facets of this conflict: the tension between tradition and change, and the tension arising from our differences. He explores how members often feel a significant conflict in their church experience, with many expressing discomfort with the culture. Jeff presents data indicating that nearly half of the respondents felt a significant conflict, and more than half did not feel a strong sense of belonging in their congregations. Throughout the conversation, he emphasizes the importance of recognizing and embracing this tension rather than attempting to eliminate it. 00:02:40 - Purpose of the Survey on Disaffiliation 00:05:12 - Survey Response Insights 00:07:38 - What People Love About the Church 00:10:30 - Core Values of Church Members 00:12:33 - Strengths of the Church 00:13:10 - Tension Between Tradition and Change 00:16:00 - Navigating Cultural Differences 00:19:15 - Understanding Tension in Church Experience 00:22:10 - Data on Comfort and Belonging 00:23:38 - Recognizing Conflict in the Congregation 00:30:02 - Tension Between Personal and Cultural Values 00:35:44 - Embracing Tension in Leadership 00:40:08 - Creating a Safe Space for Tension The award-winning Leading Saints Podcast is one of the top independent Latter-day Saints podcasts as part of nonprofit Leading Saints' mission to help Latter-day Saints be better prepared to lead.

They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? According to Cathy Yoder, the hardest thing in growing a small business is "the grind of working hard without seeing immediate returns." She emphasized the challenge of staying committed during the early phases when results are slow, especially in a culture that expects instant success. Her advice is to trust your gut, keep at it, and be okay with delayed rewards. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Cathy Yoder's favorite business book that helped her the most is Essentialism by Greg McKeown. She shared that it taught her to cut out the fluff, focus on what truly matters, and work more efficiently, especially after experiencing overwhelm from trying to do everything in her earlier business partnerships.

Less Is More PhilosophyFocus on going deeper with fewer elements rather than adding more sounds - spend time crafting the tonal characteristics and textures of individual elements.2. Practice Over TheoryThere are no shortcuts to mastery. You can watch thousands of tutorials, but real learning only comes through repeated hands-on practice and experimentation.3. Build for Yourself FirstWhether creating music or business tools, start with solving your own problems and needs - authenticity and personal connection will naturally resonate with others.

Braeden Jensen is a Mental Health Counselor and previously worked as a full-time Seminary teacher. Spending seven years in a high school classroom opened his eyes to a number of things. It changed his ability to listen and sharpened his aptitude for empathy. The more he sat with and listened to students, the more he saw and felt how many people are hurting in very real ways. At the same time, Braeden considered how therapy had helped him find hope and healing. The puzzle pieces quickly came together: "You can help more people in some tangible, substantial ways." After pursuing his Clinical Mental Health Counseling degree, he recently left the classroom full-time to find more fulfillment in helping others enjoy freedom, peace, and healing. He loves seeing people overcome trauma, depression, anxiety, and addiction, and heal their relationships along the way.
