Podcasts about Multitasking

Send us a textWe see it constantly: salon owners saying they're overwhelmed, stressed, exhausted, and unsure what to work on next. They're putting in the effort, working long hours, and still feeling behind, and it doesn't have to be that way.In this episode, we break down why overwhelm shows up so often for salon owners and why it's usually not a time or effort problem. We talk about bad advice, vague soundbites, echo chambers, and the pressure to do everything at once, and how all of that creates mental fatigue instead of progress.We also share practical ways to reduce overwhelm immediately: narrowing priorities, identifying what season your business is in, eliminating services and tasks that don't serve you, focusing on one problem at a time, and replacing multitasking with focused work that actually moves your business forward.Your business should serve you, so that you can serve others.If you're feeling overwhelmed, this episode will help you slow the noise, regain clarity, and take back control — one decision at a time.Key TakeawaysOverwhelm is usually a priority problem, not a workload problem.Vague advice and soundbites create confusion, not clarity.Multitasking increases stress and reduces meaningful progress.Focused work outperforms scattered effort.Small wins build momentum; something is always better than nothing.Simplifying services and tasks reduces mental load.Every business moves through seasons; you can't work on all of them at once.Money, people, demand, and systems are the most common constraints.Systems reduce chaos and decision fatigue over time.Overwhelm fades when clarity, focus, and ownership increase.Time Stamps00:00 — Why salon owners feel overwhelmed 01:00 — Jen's opening take: saying no, staying in your lane 04:00 — Todd's opening takes: technician vs owner + complacency 06:00 — Bad advice, soundbites, and industry echo chambers 09:00 — Why vague guidance creates paralysis 11:00 — Multitasking, task-switching, and mental fatigue 13:00 — Focused work blocks and the “accomplished list” 15:00 — Small wins > doing nothing 16:00 — Confirmation bias and online noise 18:00 — Eliminating services, simplifying menus, reducing friction 20:00 — Business seasons: growth, repair, stabilization, preparation 22:00 — Stop trying to do every season at once 23:00 — Common constraints: money, people, demand, systems 25:00 — Systems reduce chaos and decision fatigue 27:00 — Avoidance, uncomfortable tasks, and leadership growth 29:00 — Final thoughts: focus, clarity, one step forwardLinks and Stuff:Our Newsletter Mentoring InquiriesFind more of our things:InstagramHello Hair Pro Website

If you've ever felt stretched too thin, this episode is for you. In Part 1 of my series, 12 Things I've Learned About Homeschool Moms, I share the first six insights I've gathered over my years as a homeschool mom, coach, and guide for women just like you. These self-care tips for overwhelmed homeschool moms aren't rules or prescriptions—they're real-life reflections from someone who's walked this path, experienced the overwhelm, and learned how to reclaim herself without abandoning her homeschool dreams. Join the 12-Day Self-Care Challenge for Homeschool Moms What You'll Learn: Self-Care Tips for Overwhelmed Homeschool Moms Every homeschool mom faces invisible challenges, even when things look “perfect” from the outside. In this episode, I dive into the first six things I've learned about the homeschool mom experience: You feel like you never get a moment to yourself – The constant “on” mode can leave you disconnected from your own body and needs. No one sees everything you do – From teaching to caregiving to emotional labor, the invisible load is real. You say yes because it feels easier than dealing with disappointment – Learning to say no is a radical act of self-care. You're emotionally depleted – The overwhelm is rarely about homeschooling itself—it's about carrying too much without space to reset. You feel guilty resting – Rest isn't optional; it's essential for your health, your energy, and your presence in your family. You don't even know who you are anymore outside motherhood – Reconnecting with yourself is foundational to leading a confident, aligned homeschool life. Every one of these six things isn't a sign that you're doing homeschooling wrong—they're signs that you're human and have been carrying more than anyone was meant to carry alone. Why These Self-Care Tips for Overwhelmed Homeschool Moms Matter If any part of this episode made you exhale or think, “oh… that's me,” consider this your gentle invitation to start tending to yourself with the same care you offer everyone else in your home. Emotional overfunctioning and people-pleasing can follow you into homeschooling, and slowly, you lose not just your energy, but your sense of self. Reclaiming yourself isn't selfish—it's foundational. Your kids feel safest when you feel safe. Join the 12-Day Homeschool Mom Self-Care Challenge This is exactly why I created the 12-Day Homeschool Mom Self-Care Challenge. It's not another checklist or performance-based challenge. Instead, it's twelve small, doable shifts designed to help you come back to yourself with compassion, not pressure. Daily Letters – Thoughtful reflections to help you see your needs clearly. Gentle Reflection Prompts – Uncover the stories you've been carrying. Tiny, Doable Practices – Small actions to create real emotional space. As one mom said: “Your work has ripple effects because you're nurturing the nurturers.” You deserve that same nurture too. Click here to join the 12-Day Self-Care Challenge and start making your own 1% shifts away from overwhelm and toward a homeschool life that feels good from the inside out. What's Next for Overwhelmed Homeschool Moms Next week, we'll continue with Part 2 of this series, where I share six more things I've learned about homeschool moms. They go even deeper, and I think you'll feel just as held, understood, and equipped to make your homeschool life feel lighter and more aligned. Until then, take one moment today just for you—not because it's earned, but because you need it and you deserve it. Join the 12-Day Self-Care Challenge for Homeschool Moms To the Woman Reading This… If any part of this resonates — if you recognize your own patterns of over-functioning, self-forgetting, or carrying too much — please know you don't have to walk this alone. Maybe safety felt conditional, or you learned to earn love by meeting everyone else's needs.Or maybe you're carrying grief or stories that were never yours to carry. I've walked this path too — from losing myself to returning to myself. If you're ready to step into who you truly are, I'd be honoured to walk beside you. ➤ Learn more about coaching with Teresa here.

Mehr arbeiten bedeutet nicht automatisch mehr erreichen.

Ist Scrum nur etwas für Vollzeit-Teams? Ein klares Nein! Doch wenn Teammitglieder nur 50 % bis 80 % ihrer Zeit zur Verfügung haben, gerät der klassische Scrum-Rhythmus oft ins Stolpern – besonders bei synchronen Events wie dem Sprintwechsel. In dieser Folge von Agile Unfiltered widmet sich Marc einer Hörerfrage von Micha: „Wie involviert man Teammitglieder, die beim Sprintwechsel nicht anwesend sind?“ Marc zeigt auf, warum Anwesenheit verhandelbar ist, aber Engagement und Transparenz nicht. Er liefert dir konkrete Strategien, Tools und Methoden, wie du Teilzeitkräfte nicht nur „duldest“, sondern als vollwertige Mitglieder integrierst – ohne dass Wissensinseln entstehen oder das Sprintziel gefährdet wird. Das erwartet dich in dieser Folge: Das Teilzeit-Dilemma: Warum Teilzeit im Scrum Team nichts mit „Multitasking in 5 Projekten“ zu tun hat und warum wir uns darauf einstellen müssen. Synchron vs. Asynchron: Kreative Lösungen für Reviews und Retrospektiven, wenn der Kalender „Nein“ sagt (Stichwort: Loom & Mural). Das Buddy-System: Wie ein rotierender Partner im Team dafür sorgt, dass keine Infos verloren gehen. Erwartungsmanagement: Was das Team von der Teilzeitkraft erwarten darf – und umgekehrt. Warum Proaktivität hier die wichtigste Währung ist. Dokumentation statt Flurfunk: Warum „haben wir kurz besprochen“ in hybriden Setups tödlich ist. Zitate aus der Folge: "So eine Teilzeitkraft soll halt nicht nur geduldet sein, es ist ja am Ende trotzdem Teil vom Team." "Anwesenheit ist verhandelbar [...] Aber Engagement und Transparenz sollte eben nicht verhandelbar sein." "Wissensinseln sind immer ein Riesenproblem. Und je mehr wir in Silos arbeiten [...] umso höher ist die Gefahr, dass Probleme auftreten."

Welcome to Episode 157 of Praestabilis: Excellence in Marketing Welcome to Episode #157 of “Praestabilis: Excellence in Marketing” In this episode,the topic is “From 2025 into 2026: What will you change in your life and business, and what will remain the same?” It’s important to take a close look at what you’ve been doing this year, and if your results were what you expected. I believe that we can improve exponentially year over year, and that it’s up to us to decide what to change and what results we will expect. I am sharing a live session of my “Really Simple Authority Blogging” ongoing training course with you and know you will benefit from the marketing strategies I am sharing and teaching here. Be sure to connect with me at https://ConnieRagenGreen.com or on X at https://x.com/ConnieGreen so I may serve you in the areas where my help could make a huge difference in your results. I’m going to share with you how much fun I’m having with creating simple courses using AI (Artificial Intelligence) in about 30 minutes. I know you can do the same thing. Keep it simple, and add the short course you create to a page on your existing website/blog. In this episode I’m discussing how to use keywords and search engine optimization (SEO) to grow your business. Your prospects and future clients, customers, and colleagues are waiting to connect with you, but if they can’t find you online it will never happen. Make it simple for your target audience to find you by using the keywords and phrases they are most likely to be searching for on Google, Bing, and the other search engines. The Power and Gift of Change”- We are all changing throughout each day, and I think we must embrace this change in order to grow and move forward. Changing can take many forms, and if you look back through your life you will come to understand that you are not the same person you were even a year ago. Here is a quote about this you may resonate with… “Growth lives outside the comfort zone. If it feels uncomfortable, you’re probably doing it right.” ~ Marie Forleo I believe that our businesses are based on the concept of serving others. When you start on online (or even a brick and mortar) business, your goal is to serve others with what you know and to benefit in multiple ways, including by earning an excellent income. I’m sharing several examples in this podcast about my own and experiences with clients over the years. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ This morning I was reading the message written by outgoing Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy. In it, he stated that his “parting prescription” for the American people is to cultivate a strong sense of community to help themselves and others. He added, “Relationships, service, and purpose are the time-tested triad of fulfillment that stands in contrast to wealth, fame, and power which define the modern-day triad of success.” Here are some other questions I want you to ask yourself: What is your commitment to yourself and to others close to you? Why are you focused on the things that are taking up your time? When will you begin to focus on goals that will allow you to create and leave a legacy? Whom do you trust to get you there? Perhaps my “Monthly Mentoring Program” is right for you. Motivation and Inspiration: What It Takes to Get Your Spark Back” During 2024 I went through a period where I wasn’t as motivated as I had been accustomed to being for many years. This gave me time to explore why I was feeling this way and to hopefully learn something that would help others. My inspiration to do all of the things I love in my business, including writing, creating, marketing, and mentoring was waning and I wasn’t sure why. Within a couple of months I was back on track and this is what I learned… Life isn’t easy, but then it isn’t supposed to be. Being challenged in so many ways on a regular basis makes us stronger and perhaps more appreciative and grateful for what we already have and what we know we can achieve if we believe in ourselves and have even one other person who knows we are special and tells us that as often as possible. Marie Forleo wrote a book titled “Everything Is Figureoutable” – https://ConnieLoves.me/FigureOutAble – Her precept is that if you’re having trouble solving a problem or reaching a dream, the problem isn’t you. It’s that you haven’t yet installed the one belief that changes everything. I’m at conniegreenhouse at yahoo dot com and want to hear from you on this topic, or on anything else. “Merging Your Life with Your Business” as a strategy. We aren’t creating a business we need a vacation from. Instead, we’re creating a “lifestyle by design” where we have the time and financial freedom to live in a way that few people are able to, and with choices around everything we do. If you’ve met me in person, heard me on my podcast, or read any of my books, you know that I am a very positive person. No matter what situation or circumstances arises, I truly believe there will always be a positive outcome on the horizon, and sooner rather than later. But I wasn’t always this way. This is a journey that continues… My first year online was 2006, and very quickly I connected with people I’m still part of a Mastermind with in Austin, Texas. I was invited to speak at an event there a couple of years later. It was hosted by Joe Vitale and Mendhi Audlin was also there. She shared a concept she had come up with that she calls “What If… UP!” The premise is that there is truly a silver lining in everything negative that occurs. I liken this to Newton’s Third Law of Motion: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. My precept and general rule for life is that we can achieve anything we want and feel that we deserve. Others want to help us to achieve our goals, but many times we get in their way by telling ourselves stories that aren’t true. Mendhi’s precept aligns with mine, and a year or so after I first met her she published a book on this… “What If It All Goes Right?: Creating a New World of Peace, Prosperity & Possibility” by Mendhi Audlin reveals the secret to turning possibilities into a tangible reality. It works! https://ConnieLoves.me/WhatIfUp I’m discussing the importance of being willing to “Better Your Best” during this new year, as well as recommending that this be the year you finally embrace AI – Artificial Intelligence – for your business. I have been a student of and someone who uses AI almost daily since February of 2022, and I’m learning from experts Andy O”Bryan and Denise Wakeman in their ongoing AI Success Club. Asking “How Are You Defining Success?” Creating a business as an entrepreneur allows you to live a lifestyle by design, with both time freedom and financial freedom. Think about how you want to live each day and then take action to make it happen. Over the years I’ve changed many things, while others have remained the same. Instead of making changes just for the sake of change, think about what you could change up and what makes sense to remain at least mostly the same. Years ago, I used to put together my blog posts on a single topic, like copywriting or list building or creation digital products into a simple document that I referred to as a ‘Focus Guide’ and gave them away to my list and to my prospects. Each of these documents contained resources and an ‘About the Author’ page that helped me to build my credibility, visibility, and profitability. For the first time ever, I am recommending that you write a book about yourself, your niche topic, and how you serve others. I first did this in 2009 and now I have written and published twenty-eight full-length, non-fiction books on the topics of entrepreneurship, personal, development, and authorship. Life can be messy. Are their ways you can keep moving forward when your personal life is turning upside down? Yes! Finding joy in helping and serving others, as well as compartmentalizing what is currently going on in your life are just two of the ways to deal with change and situations outside of your control. I recommend that you choose two social media platforms to use for the sole purpose of helping your prospects find and connect with you online. My favorite is X – formerly known as Twitter, and I also use LinkedIn and YouTube as my favorite social media sites to grow my business. Please connect with me on these sites and let me know how I may best serve you as you build and grow your profitable business. Is your list of what you are willing to do longer than your list of what you don’t want to do? I recommend a mile-long “to-do” list and a daily schedule of no more than four things that you will work on each day in your business. Find a mentor who believes in you and get started with creating a lifestyle by design that you want and deserve. I’m recommending James Clear’s “Atomic Habits” – https://ConnieLoves.me/AtomicHabits – as a book to help you alleviate your fears. We all have hopes, dreams, goals, and fears regarding our life experiences. I have found that if we build up our confidence and have faith that everything will turn out in a way that will be beneficial to all, we can continue to move forward without negative effects. Having an online business requires confidence. These are some questions to ask yourself: Who will you serve? What are your prospects pain points? What’s your idea? How will it be created, and then delivered? How will you sell it online? Creating a simple product or online course is the beginning of living a lifestyle by design. Reach out to me any time at conniegreenhouse at yahoo dot com if you’d like to know more about getting started as an online entrepreneur. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ My first online course back in 2006 was a simple one with three audio trainings and a workbook. Then, I began creating more sophisticated, but not more complicated courses. I’ve used the “Really Simple” branding for many courses at least 25 times, as well as using other terms and phrases based on the keywords I am optimizing for with each new course. Having your own online course on a topic you want to become known for will give you leverage to grow your business exponentially over time. It’s interesting to me that we as humans sometimes take things for granted that later on we know we should have appreciated in the moment. What I’m referring to here is having an online business you can run from home, or from anywhere in the world. There’s a window of opportunity that isn’t always open, and right now this window is wide open to everyone. A lot of it depends upon economic factors. I almost went back to graduate school two years ago to study economics, but decided against it because of the film and television writing I’m pursuing, but that’s a story for another time. Someone I work closely with had posted this quote from Richard Branson the other day: “Business opportunities are like buses, there’s always another one coming.” This does NOT apply to online business, but instead refers to starting a physical, brick and mortar business. I know several people in both of my cities who borrowed against their homes, cashed out retirement savings, and sold family heirlooms to start businesses in the community, only to go bankrupt a couple of years later. What I’m saying here is that this is the time to get your online business off the ground and up and running profitably. It’s so inexpensive in comparison, and the biggest expense I incur is what I pay mentors to guide me in the right direction. Yes, I still have a mentor and recommend you do as well. This isn’t coaching, but instead a personal relationship you’ll build over time that could lead to strategic alliance partnerships and lifelong friendships. I’m at conniegreenhouse at yahoo dot com if you want to know more about mentoring with me. The four widely accepted learning modalities (or modes) are known by the acronym VARK: Visual, Auditory, Reading/Writing, Kinesthetic. They are sometimes inaccurately referred to as “learning styles” which implies that each learner has a “style” of learning that should be maximized in all learning situations. Focusing on consistency, productivity, and creativity makes sense for all online entrepreneurs in 2024. I’m also sharing some effective and time-proven strategies with you here that will make a difference in your business, as well as in your personal life experience. Each day I focus on writing, creating, marketing, and teaching/learning/mentoring. My writing began as short and simple blog posts and blossomed into more than twenty-five full-length books. My writing is my oeuvre, my body of work that is my legacy to family, friends, colleagues, and those who follow me. During 2023 I wrote and published more than 400 thousand words. This breaks down to one full-length book, Self-Directed: Inspire, Motivate, and Empower Yourself to the Greatness That Lies Within; the current book on marketing that is more than halfway written; 8 short reports on topics of interest to the people I work with online; one hundred thirty-eight blog posts on three different blogs I maintain; and 382 email messages to my online community. These are  practical strategies for effective time management, emphasizing the importance of creating a balance between work and personal life. Achieving work-life harmony requires effective time management strategies that allow you to balance professional and personal responsibilities. Here are some strategies to help you manage your time more efficiently: 1. Set Clear Priorities: Identify your most important tasks and priorities for both work and personal life. Focus on what truly matters and allocate time accordingly. 2. Use a Time Management System: Choose a time management system that works for you, whether it’s a digital tool like Todoist or Trello, or a physical planner. Organize tasks, set deadlines, and track your progress. Schedules vs To-Do Lists 3. Prioritize Tasks with the Eisenhower Matrix: Categorize tasks into four quadrants: urgent and important, important but not urgent, urgent but not important, and neither urgent nor important. Prioritize tasks based on these categories. 4. Batch Similar Tasks: Group similar tasks together and tackle them during specific time blocks. This reduces the mental load of switching between different types of activities. 5. Time Blocking: Allocate specific blocks of time to different activities. This includes work tasks, personal commitments, and breaks. Stick to the schedule as much as possible. 6. Learn to Say No: Be selective about taking on new commitments. Saying no when necessary helps you avoid over-committing and allows you to focus on your existing priorities. 7. Delegate When Possible: Delegate tasks that others can handle. This applies to both professional and personal responsibilities. It’s okay to ask for help. 8. Practice the Two-Minute Rule: If a task takes less than two minutes, do it immediately. This prevents small tasks from piling up and becoming overwhelming. 9. Limit Multitasking: Focus on one task at a time. Multitasking can reduce efficiency and increase stress. Complete one task before moving on to the next. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ You’re starting a conversation with your emails, and building a relationship with your prospects, customers, and clients over time. I’ve been online as an entrepreneur, marketer, and writer since 2006, and while much has changed, I believe that more has remained the same. Here, I’m discussing how we marketed in those early days, and why email marketing still remains top of mind. Most recently, I’ve co-hosted an Advanced Email Marketing Conference with Ellen Finkelstein. In April of 2023, I hosted my latest live marketing event in Los Angeles, and more recently I’ve hosted my Santa Barbara Retreat for those I mentor and teach. But like everyone else, I began by attending live events, and eventually virtual events in order to find my voice, connect with other like-minded people, and learn more about building and growing my online business. Guerilla marketing is a way to drive publicity and, as a result, brand awareness by promoting using unconventional methods designed to evoke surprise, wonder, or shock. Guerrilla marketing is the creating use of novel or unconventional methods in order to boost sales or attract interest in a brand or business. These methods are often low- or no-cost and involve the widespread use of more personal interactions or through viral social media messaging. This marketing method has increased in popularity with the rise of ubiquitous mobile and connected technologies that can amplify messaging and focus on target groups of consumers. Some consumers may be more attracted by guerrilla marketing campaigns as they may be more interesting and daring, while others may be turned off because of the perceived “disruptive” aspects of this style of marketing.

I’ve been online since 2006 and now help others all over the world to do the same or something similar. We all have times where we are feeling a little down, lost, or confused. Life isn’t easy, and no one makes it out alive! These are my recommendations for how to get back on track and feeling more happy and optimistic about your future… Write! Whether you’re already a writer or are just beginning to think about sharing your thoughts, ideas, and experiences with others, writing makes sense. I write every single day and publish much of my writing as blog posts, short reports, and full-length books. Writing opens your mind to what you want in the future, by allowing you to explore the past through your memories. You can also retell and reframe your stories in a way that will serve you going forward. Start a new project! I usually create products and courses as new projects, but this can also manifest as something you build or create with your hands. I have family members on two continents that love to put together complex jigsaw puzzles. They look forward to these as a new project on a regular basis. Volunteer! Before I started my online business, I promised myself I would volunteer my time and donate money to charitable causes… as soon as I had the time and the money to do so. Once I had my own business, I realized that I had some time and a little money to do this all along. Spend time with new people! As a part of the volunteering I now do regularly, I’ve spent time with very young children, veterans, women starting over after being in a domestic violence situation, and more. This work continues to make a difference in my life. As you can see, there are many ways to get back to your “Why?” and I hope this has been helpful to you. What’s the best niche topic to cover in your blog? I know you don’t what to hear me say “It depends.” so I won’t. Lean in, and I’ll share the very best niche for you, and it’s one that is also the most profitable, will feel more like you’re just having fun, will never go out of style, and will be the one that has absolutely zero competition. Which niche topic and target audience could it possibly be? I won’t keep you in suspense any longer. I learned when I began online 17 years ago that the best niche for anyone is the one that makes your heart sing and is probably a topic you take for granted. I had been teaching school for twenty years and my students were mostly Spanish and Tagalog native speakers. I told them if they wrote just a few sentences every single day – weekends, holidays, and school breaks included – their writing would improve. Those who followed my advice excelled, while those who didn’t floundered. During all those years, I seldom wrote anything unless it was required for my work as a teacher or for my part-time work in real estate. Fast forward to 2006, and I realized not only that I needed to write in order to succeed online, but also that what I’d done with my students would apply here as well. My niche for the next eighteen months was around helping others to write, publish, market, and sell eBooks. I wrote one on real estate farming – choosing and area close to home to connect with people who may need your services – as an example and sold it on my website. Back then, you had to sell eBooks on your own websites, as Amazon had not yet entered the world of self-publishing. My niche and website became “eBook writing and marketing secrets” and this topic took me to six figures. I was learning right along with the people who were learning and buying from me. I then moved that site over to https://ConnieRagenGreen.com to make a name for myself and to branch out to other topics. The bottom line is that you must begin by sharing what you already know something about and love. Blogging is the direct path to the visibility, credibility, and profitability you wish to have in your business. In my business, every idea begins as a blog post. This is where I think and research and brainstorm what’s on my mind in the very beginning. The blog post is ground zero for what could, and many times does become a product, course or program. Blog posts, while based on your idea, can be created with original content, private label (PLR) rights content, guest content, or curated content. While I immediately share my published posts on social media as “micro content” you’ll want to wait at least 24 hours before syndicating your content on Medium. I also teach this syndication strategy in my popular and ongoing Syndication Optimization training program. Next up in your content creation and content marketing strategy is a short report, which you may sell online or give away as a lead magnet. I teach all of this in my Really Simple Short Reports training. This is what we refer to as “cornerstone” content that is extremely valuable. The final step is creating “authority content” by publishing your writing as a Kindle or paperback book to increase your visibility and build your reputation as an expert on your topic. I typically discuss time management and productivity in regards to entrepreneurs, marketers, and authors, and I’ve even co-authored a bestselling book on this topic, entitled “Time Management Strategies for Entrepreneurs: How to Manage Your Time to Increase Your Bottom Line” where we outline in great details the steps you may take to reach a level of optimal productivity and time management as an entrepreneur. But what about everyone else? Doesn’t every person deserve to live the lifestyle they want and deserve, where they enjoy financial freedom and the time to enjoy every moment to the fullest? Of course they do, and that’s what I’m sharing during this podcast. When I began online as a new entrepreneur in 2006, I realized immediately I would need help with technology and graphics, as these were the areas where I had no experience or talent. I bartered for these services for the first year or so, and then began to put together a team of people to support me so my business could grow. When I look back over my lifetime, I see that I have always had a team supporting me, whether it was while I worked as a classroom teacher, or in real estate as a broker and residential appraiser. Even while I was growing up, I was surrounded by people who supported me, from family, friends and neighbors to teachers, clergy, and people in the community. Put together your team and watch your business grow exponentially! When it comes to your visibility as an entrepreneur, where may we find you to see what you’re doing? This expert status comes from your writing, videos and audios, and your social media presence on the most active platforms for your target audience. My three popular and active blogs are at ConnieRagenGreen.com, HugeProfitsTinyList.com, and at MondayMorningMellow.com. Credibility is about what you already know and what you are learning. We all started our online businesses as adults, so we brought our knowledge and experiences with us. It made sense for me to help people write, market, and publish eBooks in the beginning, because I had worked as a classroom teacher for twenty years prior to coming online, and was learning about marketing and self-publishing. Profitability means that you must ask “What’s for sale?” every day in your business. Create your own simple products and courses, recommend others with affiliate marketing, and look into buying the resale rights to sell other people’s products as your own like I continue to do in my own business. The final part of this information on your expert status as an entrepreneur includes productivity, consistency, and attention to detail. Get everything in place as quickly as possible, and your online business is sure to grow exponentially! During my first couple of years online, beginning in 2007 I connected with mentors Alex Mandossian and Raymond Aaron. When I inquired as to what they were doing together as strategic alliance partners, they gave me a brief explanation and told me that I was not yet ready to move up to this level. Over the next two years they helped me to grow and elevate my business and my mindset as an online entrepreneur so that I could connect with others in this way. Seek out the people and groups you wish to be involved with and show them that you have moved past tactics and on to strategies. It will make all the difference and as you uplevel everything you’re doing online in your business, your free time and disposable income will increase exponentially! When I work with people in my Incubator Mastermind Mentoring program, the goal is to move them into position to become a strategic alliance partner with me and others to share their message in a bigger way. WHY did you choose the career you started your working life with? WHY did you get married, have children, and move into your first home? WHY did you make the conscious decision to leave your career at some point and start your business? WHY do you want to be an author or entrepreneur, or coach? WHY do you get up every single day and do the work required to become more successful on an ongoing basis? Everyone must have a WHY and there are no right or wrong answers here. But if you find yourself unmotivated to work or if you find yourself procrastinating on projects, then it's time to re-examine the main reason for your business. Name Your Reason – or Your WHY – for Starting a Business Focusing on your WHY can help motivate you, so write down your reason for starting a business on a regular basis. Did you want to fill your free time? Did you want to earn some play money or contribute to the family finances? Did you want to pay the medical bills of an aging parent or a sick child? Did you want to pay for your child's higher education or private school tuition? In my case, my answer to “what's your why?” was always around having enough income to live life on my terms. Over time, I came to the realization that every choice I was making, and each time I could not do something that had meaning for me, was all related to me needing to earn a paycheck or a commission from the classroom teaching and real estate work I was involved with each day. I missed just about every family event, vacation, and other activities because I was working 60 or more hours a week in order to cover my bills and other expenses. I wasn't angry or resentful because I believed that I didn't deserve to have a better life during those decades. This all changed in 2005 when I began reading books and attending events based on self improvement and personal development principles. Writing these reasons down – no matter what they are because every person's WHY will be different – should help motivate you to work hard. You should feel driven to make your business a success. You should be willing to tackle things outside your comfort zone because you know the end result will help your business. If you're not feeling motivated, then you need to dig deeper. I worked closely with a woman who was struggling to make her online business become profitable, and she continued to tell me that she had no problems or struggles in her life, currently or during her younger years. Then, one day she told me about her granddaughter who had passed away at age twelve and the floodgates opened. We got to the bottom of things, she discovered her why, and her business grew by leaps and bounds, almost overnight! Be Open and Willing to Examine Your Inner Feelings Life is fluid and ever-changing so it stands to reason that your WHY would change over time as well. Even if you started your business because you didn't know what to do once your kids were in full day school, you can change that WHY to something more meaningful now. A mentor once shared with me that she started a service business because she was a single mom and needed to earn money to survive. She was responsible for lodging, food, and clothing for herself and her child. She didn't have anyone to rely on except herself. THIS is enough to make you cry and to hustle for work, knowing that if she wasn't working, she wasn't eating. What are you passionate about that will get you hustling? Are you passionate about a cause or charity that can benefit from your financial assistance? Do you need to pull yourself up out of financial despair? Don't be afraid to own that reason and fight for your business. This is how you will continue to get closer to understanding and recognizing the answer to “what's your why?” Don't be Afraid to Switch Business Gears to Discover Your “Why” One of my mentees admitted to me early on that even though she has been in a service business for over ten years, that she hadn't been motivated to create any classes or products as a source of passive income. She blamed her indecision on a lack of new ideas and a feeling and belief that everything she knew had already been said and done, but I questioned if it was because she didn't feel attached to her particular niche of online marketing. After some more discussion, she agreed and has since modified her services that align better with what she enjoys. I still suggested that she explore a deeper WHY but this is a step in the right direction. Plenty of businesses add or subtract products or services or modify their mission statement. If something about your business doesn't feel right, don't be afraid to make changes. I'm bestselling author and online entrepreneur Connie Ragen Green, and now I can confidently answer the question “What's your why?” with enthusiasm and conviction. My “why” is around the concept of helping others to achieve their goals and dreams with writing and having a profitable online business so they may follow their dreams and passions without having to do work that doesn't make their heart sing or worry about meeting all of their financial obligations with grace and ease. You can double your productivity and be success with a business, or with anything you choose to accomplish in your life, if you are willing to implement what you learn and take decisive action on a consistent basis. Many people come to me to learn how to successful and profitable as an online entrepreneur. But some of them end up saying “I already know that” and moving on to something else. I know that I am able to do more than I ever thought would be possible in my life because I am willing to learn, implement, course correct, ask questions, take massive action and keep moving forward with consistency. Others may be smarter or more knowledgeable, but if they hesitate to take action they will not achieve the results they are hoping for in their business or with anything else. As long as you are specific and intentional with what you want to achieve, you can do it all as an entrepreneur, just not all at once. And we must throw perfection out the window. I have a new saying… The more perfecter your goal, the less purfeckt your results. “Everything we do in our lives is preparing us for something that will arise in the future, even though we don’t yet know what that will be.” ~ Connie Ragen Green Our stories are the fabric of our life. A story sets you apart from everyone else, makes you unique and memorable, and is all you have when it's all said and done. When I was a young child a neighbor girl, seven or eight years old at the time, interrupted my mother in the middle of a story she was telling to ask, “Why do you have so many stories?” My mother hardly skipped a beat, informing the girl that “You'll have stories too, when you get older.” On that evening a part of me became a storyteller in training. Sure enough, it wasn't long before I was telling stories about everything from what I did in school that day to what happened in the neighborhood. I wore my storyteller's hat with pride and now I see that this one aspect of my life was preparing me for what I now do in my business and derive great joy from every single day. The word “praestabilis” is from the Latin and means outstanding, excellent, and extraordinary and this is the goal for you as you make your way in the online world. It took me until age 50 to step into the light and live an empowered life. I achieved this by leaving a job – classroom teaching – and a career as a real estate broker and appraiser to come online as an entrepreneur. I have no regrets about waiting so long, as everything unfolds once we are open to receiving it. There are three top strategies to help you move closer to an empowered life and they include… Writing – Every day, I want you to write! This includes blog posts, outlines, emails to your prospects, clients, and potential joint venture partners. Also, write short reports and white papers to show others who you are and what you know. Finally, write a book to solidify your expertise in your niche, and follow that up with additional books over time. Writing is crucial to our process of standing out from the crowd by sharing what we know and believe. Reach out to me if you’re interested in coming aboard for my “10 Week Author” program.

Speak about yourself and your topic to anyone who will listen. I began by speaking at my Rotary Club and I continue to recommend service organizations as a way to break in to speaking. Now I speak all over the world, in person and virtually on a variety of topics. Masterminding – Connecting with others for the sole purpose of reaching your full potential is crucial to life success. Find a Mastermind group to join, or start your own by inviting thought leaders to connect with you in this way. I have a group called the Incubator Mastermind that may be of interest to you.

Join Me for the 12-Day Homeschool Mom Self-Care Challenge A homeschool mom self-care challenge that honours you. Homeschool mama, I see you. December is here, and it feels like an avalanche of ALL the things.Every month as a homeschool mom is full, but December? It's a whole new level. You're trying to finish things up, or you’re moving into a unit study on Christmas, you’re purchasing, prepping, planning, and playing—and you just added a part time-job to your full-time job. But as a homeschool mama, when December rolls around, mama ain’t looking after herself, she’s looking, after ALL the things. And though ALL the things are a whole lot of things EVERY other month, December’s ALL the things is an exponential set of things. Though you’re trying to do all the things, fulfill the expectations, and make it magical for your kids, you can’t do a little bit more if you didn’t already incorporate an approach to maintain margins and pursue purposeful living. That's why I'm inviting you to join me for the 12-Day Self-Care Challenge for Homeschool Moms. This isn't another TO DO list. It's a TO GIVE list—a way to give back to yourself. Join the 12 Day Self-Care Challenge Why Self-Care Matters As homeschool moms, we have a unique calling. We're deeply present with our kids, invested in their well-being, and working hard to create meaningful memories and learning experiences. We savor moments of: Watching our kids harmoniously play together (sometimes). Cheering them on as they tackle new challenges. Seeing their excitement as they pursue new interests. Building lifelong memories as a family. But there's another side to this season: The constant stream of emotions (theirs and ours). Sibling squabbles. Complaints and meltdowns. And, of course, the never-ending mundane tasks—laundry, dishes, meals, and errands. Even when we handle these challenges with grace, the emotional and mental investment is enormous. Add the holidays to the mix, and it's no wonder we feel stretched thin. The Secret Ingredient to a (more) Peaceful Holiday Season Here's the thing: you matter too. Your well-being is not just an afterthought—it's the foundation of a happy family life and a peaceful holiday season. Self-care: Refills your energy so you can approach the holidays with calm and joy. Models healthy balance and boundaries for your children. Helps you manage stress and let go of perfection. Strengthens your emotional resilience to handle challenges with patience and grace. Creates space for joy and presence, helping you savor the small, magical moments. When you care for yourself, you're giving your family the best gift of all—a peaceful, grounded, and joyful mama. What You'll Get in the 12-Day Challenge In just fifteen minutes a day—maybe even five—you'll explore simple, practical self-care strategies that fit into your busy December. These strategies aren't just for the holidays; they're tools to carry into the new year, helping you nurture yourself and your family with greater ease and satisfaction. By the end of these 12 days, you'll feel: More energized. More connected to yourself. And more at peace as you move through this beautiful, busy season. And so we must take care of ourselves. Join the 12 Days of Homeschool Mom Self-Care Challenge Join Me—You Deserve This So, homeschool mama, this is your invitation to take a breath, step back, and remember that you are worth nurturing. Let's do this together. This December, give yourself the gift of care, calm, and connection. Join the 12-Day Self-Care Challenge for Homeschool Moms and rediscover the joy of the season—not just for your family, but for you too. Just fifteen minutes a day. You've got this.

McKay examines the modern epidemic that is silently reshaping our brains - "Switching and Scrolling" - drawing a powerful parallel between the rise of physical obesity and the growing crisis of fractured attention. He argues that our addiction to the shallows of digital consumption is not just a productivity loss, but a thief of our peace, creativity, and deep connection.Navigating the science of attention, McKay cites Johann Hari's Stolen Focus and a Hewlett-Packard study revealing that digital distraction drops IQ twice as much as cannabis use. He shares the "phantom vibrations" felt by campers at a device-free retreat and the success of San Mateo High School's magnetic phone pouches to illustrate how environment dictates focus. The episode concludes with practical strategies - from "unplugged nights" to the Boston Consulting Group's "predictable time off" - encouraging listeners to reclaim their minds from the attention economy.Main Themes:"Switch and Scroll" is a cumulative epidemic, mirroring the long-term costs of obesity.Multitasking forces the brain into superficial processing, blocking deep learning.The three costs of switching: slower speed, increased errors, and drained creativity.Constant micro-interruptions trigger physiological stress and background anxiety."Attention Theft" uses behavioral psychology to hijack focus without consent.Focus is an environmental condition that must be intentionally designed and protected.Top 10 Quotes:"When we multitask, we operate in the shallow end of the pool, thinking and processing at a very superficial level.""Where do new thoughts and innovation come from? They come from your brain shaping new connections out of what you've seen and heard and learned.""I didn't realize how flat my attention had become until it expanded again.""Attention now has economic value... The more attention they get, the more money they make.""Switching destabilizes identity, it fragments memory, it disrupts coherence, and over time, it can reshape who we think we are.""Focus is not just an individual skill; it's an environmental condition that can be designed and protected.""Most people learn focus by doing something that's either very important or very interesting to them.""You may not be able to change the trends of obesity in our society, but you can change them in your own life and home."Show Links:Open Your Eyes with McKay Christensen

Send us a textToday's topic dives deep into multitasking: the myths, the science, and the real impact it has on your energy and productivity.You'll learn why the brain cannot truly focus on more than one thing at a time, how task-switching drains your mental energy, and why multitasking often leaves you feeling scattered, overwhelmed, and less productive even if it looks like you're getting more done.

Phones and AI aren't going anywhere, so the goal isn't to ban them, but to help our kids integrate them wisely. In this episode, we'll explore how constant connectivity impacts a child's ability to focus, plan, regulate emotions, and problem-solve. We'll look at why kids and teens are especially vulnerable to the “instant relief” loop that phones provide, and how AI can both support and hinder their growing brains.Most importantly, we'll talk about what parents can do: how to set boundaries that actually stick, how to preserve core executive functioning skills, and how to help your child build the resilience they'll need in a world where technology is always within reach.Jennifer's Takeaways:Impact of Cell Phones and AI on Kids' Focus and Problem-Solving Skills (00:00)Challenges of Multitasking with Multiple Screens (02:46)Balancing AI Use with Critical Thinking Skills (03:50)The Role of Boredom in Developing Creativity (05:47)Teaching Kids to Use AI as a Coach, Not a Crutch (07:05)The Future of AI in Education and Parenting (08:09)Meet Jennifer KolariJennifer Kolari is the host of the “Connected Parenting” weekly podcast and the co-host of “The Mental Health Comedy” podcast.

What if the constant cycle of wanting—more success, more recognition, more happiness—is the very thing preventing you from experiencing true gratitude? In this Thanksgiving special episode, Dr. Alex Loyd reveals why even the most successful people wake up thinking "I want" instead of feeling grateful, and how this affects everything from your immune system to your relationships. What You'll Discover: ✓ Why "I shall not want" from Psalm 23 is the key to genuine thanksgiving ✓ The neuroscience behind why your prefrontal cortex lies to you about happiness ✓ How Jesus demonstrated the ultimate surrender in the Garden of Gethsemane ✓ Why unforgiveness is really just an "I want" that didn't work out ✓ The shocking hospital story: Cancer patients who forgave everyone lived ✓ Why Dr. Loyd addresses forgiveness before any other healing work ✓ How "I want" shuts down your immune system and creates the failure response Key Topics Covered: The relationship between gratitude and surrender—why they can't be separated Michael Jordan syndrome: Why achievement doesn't equal fulfillment Your experience simulator: How the prefrontal cortex deceives you 50% of the time The Garden of Gethsemane: Jesus sweating drops of blood and choosing "not my will, but yours" Multitasking myth: Why your brain can't hold gratitude and wanting simultaneously Love-based vs. selfishness-based living: The ultimate health determinant The temptation trap: When imagining details + feeling emotions = being hooked Jesus's instruction: Stop worshiping and make things right first Mike Broadwell's story: Hospital worker tells cancer patients to forgive their entire contact list Powerful Quotes from This Episode: "Thankfulness and gratitude is really the opposite of I want. You really can't be thankful and grateful if at the same time you're thinking, 'I want, I want, I want.'" — Dr. Alex Loyd "If you're not in a life-threatening situation, being focused on 'I want' is selfishness-based, not love-based. And if what you're doing is selfishness-based, you are hurting yourself and everyone else that you know because that's working against love." — Dr. Alex Loyd "Unforgiveness comes from having an 'I want' that didn't work out the way you wanted it to. Either you didn't get it or you did get it but it didn't do it for you." — Dr. Alex Loyd "I believe if you do those very few simple things, I promise you it will dramatically change your life in a way that the codes don't do, that trilogy doesn't, that pills don't do, exercise doesn't do." — Dr. Alex Loyd "She will tell them you need to get your Rolodex out, call every single person on it and forgive them. Only like two people have ever done that. And those two actually lived and survived the cancer." — Mike Broadwell Core Message: The practice of laying down "I want" and embracing gratitude for what you already have is the most powerful healing action you can take—more powerful than any supplement, exercise routine, or healing modality. Unforgiveness, which stems from unfulfilled wants, may be the single biggest obstacle to your health and happiness. This Thanksgiving, the challenge is simple: get out your contact list (including blocked contacts) and forgive everyone, ask for forgiveness where needed, and shift from "I want" to "not my will, but yours be done."

In this episode of The Tech Leader's Playbook, Avetis Antaplyan welcomes back bestselling author and communication expert Chris Fenning, whose latest book Effective Meetings offers leaders a refreshingly simple framework to cut meeting time by 30% or more. Chris unpacks the hidden cost of poorly-run meetings—billions in wasted dollars, lost morale, and decision fatigue—and explains why the real issue is a lack of training, not bad intentions. Together, Avetis and Chris break down the deceptively powerful TPO method (Topic, Purpose, Output), showing leaders how to transform recurring time drains into high-impact, action-oriented conversations.From the pitfalls of daily stand-ups to the myth of the “must-attend” calendar invite, Chris shares real-world stories, practical examples, and organizational case studies (like Shopify's Chaos Monkey) that show how eliminating unnecessary meetings isn't just possible—it's urgent. Whether you're a startup founder drowning in back-to-back Zooms or a Fortune 30 exec looking to sharpen your team's focus, this episode is packed with actionable advice you can apply today.TakeawaysTPO (Topic, Purpose, Output) is the foundational framework for running effective meetings.A meeting invite with no context is like a court summons—rude and unproductive.The #1 reason meetings fail? Lack of a clear purpose—not missing agendas.“No agenda, no attendance" is a viable policy to filter out low-value invites.Recurring meetings often lose relevance over time—reevaluate them regularly.Many meetings should be emails—ask if the meeting requires real-time, multi-person input.Decision-making meetings must include actual decision-makers or become planning sessions.Multitasking in meetings is usually a sign people shouldn't be there or are disengaged.The “Inverse Time Rule”: if a topic only affects a few people, it should take minimal time.Leaders should experiment: cut one-hour weeklies to bi-weeklies and watch productivity rise.Post-meeting follow-ups are faster and clearer when the output is clearly defined.Clarity is leadership—clear asks beat backstories and long-winded explanations.Chapters00:00 – Intro: The Meeting Problem01:30 – Why Most Meetings Fail03:15 – Topic, Purpose, Output (TPO) Framework06:00 – Writing Better Meeting Invites08:00 – The Power of Saying No to Bad Meetings10:00 – Recurring Meetings: Fix or Kill Them11:45 – When a Meeting Shouldn't Be a Meeting17:00 – How to Restructure Recurring Meetings21:00 – Real Case Study: Cutting Meetings at Scale25:00 – The Truth About Daily Stand-Ups27:00 – TPO in Action: Before, During, and After31:00 – AI's Role in Meeting Efficiency33:00 – Why Clarity is the Cornerstone of Leadership35:00 – Helping Others Get to the Point Faster42:00 – Goal, Problem, Solution: The Efficient Ask45:00 – Why Experts Often Over-Explain48:00 – What's Changed Since Chris's First Book49:30 – Favorite Book Recommendation: The Culture Map51:00 – Final Thoughts & Call to ActionChris Fenning's Social Media Link:https://www.linkedin.com/in/chris-fenning/Chris Fenning's Website Link:https://chrisfenning.com/Resources and Links:https://www.hireclout.comhttps://www.podcast.hireclout.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/hirefasthireright

Multitasking isn't as good as you think, and for a believer, juggling too much will make you dull. This message looks at being single-minded and focused.

Apart from their vocation, teachers also handle administrative work and counselling. Synopsis: Every second Wednesday of the month, The Straits Times takes a hard look at Singapore's social issues of the day with guests. Teachers in Singapore work longer than their peers in other advanced economies. They spend less time teaching but more on planning, counselling and communicating with students’ parents, according to the Teaching and Learning International Survey (Talis) released on Oct 7, 2025. In total, the Talis survey polled 194,000 teachers in 55 education systems across Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries. Teachers in Singapore work an average of 47.3 hours a week, higher than the overall average of 41 hours. Approximately 3,500 teachers and respective school principals across all 145 public secondary schools and 10 randomly selected private secondary schools participated in the survey from April to August 2024. In this episode, ST assistant podcast editor Lynda Hong examines why this is happening, and whether there is any way their workload and stress can be reduced. In the studio with her is Ms Sarah Tan, a former secondary school teacher with 17 years of experience and taught till 2020, but now gives tuition. She is also a mother of two children aged 13 and 15. Mr Manogaran Suppiah was formerly the principal of Anderson Serangoon Junior College. He first started out teaching for 16 years, before moving to different departments within the Ministry of Education, including becoming the founding executive director of Academy of Singapore Teachers (AST). In 2022, he retired from his career spanning over 40 years.

„Wir leben nicht in einer Zivilisation, sondern in einer Zuvielisation – von allem zu viel. Und das überfordert unser Gehirn.“ – Professor Dr. Volker Busch ist Neurologe, Psychiater, Bestsellerautor, Podcaster und einer der renommiertesten Experten für mentale Gesundheit, Fokus und Schlaf. Er erklärt, warum unser Gehirn mit der permanenten Reizflut des modernen Lebens schlicht überfordert ist und wie wir lernen können, wieder klarer zu denken und unseren Fokus zurückzugewinnen. In dieser Folge BUNTE VIP GLOSS spricht Podcast-Host Jennifer Knäble mit dem Experten über mentale Hygiene, Denkpausen und die Kunst, loszulassen. Er zeigt, wie wir unser Gehirn pflegen, statt es ständig zu überfordern: Multitasking ist ein Irrtum, Pausen sind notwendig und Aufmerksamkeit muss trainiert werden wie ein Muskel. Gezielte Routinen helfen, das Gehirn langfristig gesund zu halten: Bewusste Atmung – vier Sekunden ein, acht Sekunden aus – aktiviert den Parasympathikus und senkt den Stresspegel messbar. Bewegung und der Kontakt mit der Natur fördern emotionale Stabilität und kognitive Leistungsfähigkeit. Schlaf regeneriert Nervenzellen und stärkt das Gedächtnis. Und Ernährung ist dabei weit mehr als Energiezufuhr: Wasser, Omega-3-Fettsäuren, Vitamin D und B-Vitamine gelten als echte Brain Foods für Konzentration, Stimmung und mentale Stärke. Die wichtigsten Aussagen von Prof. Dr. Volker Busch: „Die meisten Gedächtnisprobleme sind keine Demenz, sondern Aufmerksamkeitsprobleme durch Ablenkung.“ „Natur erdet – sie verkleinert das Ego und beruhigt den Kopf.“ „Atmung ist Neurobiologie zum Anfassen: Vier Sekunden ein, acht Sekunden aus – und der Stresspegel fährt runter.“ „KI spart Denkarbeit – aber wer Denken ständig auslagert, trainiert es nicht.“ „Weniger To-dos, mehr Fokus: Loslassen schafft Zufriedenheit.“ „Der stabilste Frieden entsteht in uns – durch Zuversicht und gute Gedanken vor dem Schlaf.“ Ein Gespräch über geistige Klarheit und das Wiedererlangen der Fähigkeit, im richtigen Moment abzuschalten.

““Without healthy employees, you don't have healthy customers. And without healthy customers, you don't have a healthy bottom line.” — Kate Visconti, Founder and CEO, Five to Flow.While artificial intelligence (AI) has hastened development and made enterprises more efficient, it also comes with more deadlines. The deadlines often merge into after-hours messaging. Burnout has become a default result of productivity, especially in the tech industry. In this episode of the Tech Transformed podcast, Shubhangi Dua, Podcast Host, Producer and B2B Tech Journalist, speaks with Kate Visconti, Founder and CEO of Five to Flow, about the critical issues of burnout and disengagement in the workplace. They discuss the five core elements of change management, the financial implications of employee wellness, and strategies for enhancing productivity through flow optimisation. Also Watch: Fixing the Gender Gap in STEMThe Wellness Wave Diagnostic to Help Fix Profit LeaksVisconti stresses the importance of creating a supportive work environment and implementing effective change management practices to improve organisational performance. The conversation also highlights the role of technology in productivity and the need for leaders to prioritise employee well-being to drive business success.With an ambition to change the way organisations define true performance, VIsconti developed a system – a data-driven framework called The Wellness Wave. As per the official Five to Flow website, The Wellness Wave is “a proprietary diagnostic that measures sentiment and business performance across five core elements.”Visconti sheds light on the original framework of the company. She says, “The original was adopted when we first kicked off as part of our consulting, and it's called the Wellness Wave diagnostic. It's literally looking across the five core elements — people, culture, process, technology, and analytics.”This framework helps companies identify and fix their profit leaks, which are the hidden financial losses caused by employee burnout, disengagement, and distraction. In her conversation with Dua, host of the Tech Transformed podcast episode, Visconti shares how understanding human behaviour can lead to significant improvements in business performance.According to Five to Flow's global diagnostics, only 13 per cent of flow triggers work at their best. For tech leaders, that means most teams are functioning well below their potential.Kate's top tip is to create flow blocks. “It's about designing uninterrupted time for peak focus.

We explore themes of life transitions, the healing power of water, the significance of everyday work, and the importance of simplicity and mindfulness in a complex world.

Experts are debunking the myth of multitasking, but in such a fast-paced world, how else can we possibly keep up?Psychology Professor at Stanford University, Anthony Wagner, says multitasking does not exist, but what we are doing instead is forcing the brain to switch between tasks.Research shows performing multiple tasks at the same time reduces productivity by up to 40% by increasing cognitive load, causing errors, and consuming mental energy.But, UCD Associate Professor in the School of Psychology, Ciara Greene, says the human brain is flexible and completing multiple tasks at the same time does not impact our attention span.To discuss further, she joins Seán.

News and Updates: AI “Workslop” at Work – A Stanford/BetterUp survey finds over 40% of U.S. employees encounter AI-generated “workslop”—content that looks polished but adds no real value. On average, 15% of workplace output now qualifies, with tech and professional services hit hardest. Colleagues who submit workslop are seen as less capable, trustworthy, and creative. Fauxductivity: Busy, Not Productive – Experts warn of “fauxductivity,” where workers mistake busyness for real progress. Multitasking, endless low-value to-do lists, and unproductive meetings create the illusion of productivity. Solutions include prioritizing top tasks, deep work sessions, and honest daily reviews. ChatGPT Parental Controls – OpenAI rolled out parental controls for ChatGPT, letting parents set time limits, disable voice or image features, turn off memory, and restrict sensitive content. Parents may also receive alerts if teens show signs of self-harm. The move follows lawsuits and safety concerns, with settings designed to stay in place until parents remove them. Americans' AI Attitudes – A Pew survey shows U.S. adults remain wary of AI's growing role. – 71% would like a candidate less if they learned AI wrote a political speech. – 56% feel negatively about AI-written news articles, while nearly half don't mind AI art or music. – Most Americans (53%) believe AI will harm creativity, while 50% say it will weaken human relationships. – Younger adults are more skeptical of AI art and music than older generations. California AI Safety Law – Gov. Gavin Newsom signed SB 53, the nation's first AI safety law. It requires AI developers to disclose safety protocols, report major incidents, and protects whistleblowers. The law also lays the foundation for CalCompute, a state-run cloud cluster. Industry giants like Anthropic supported the bill, while lobbying groups warned it could stifle innovation.

Dear Boss Babe... Busy doesn't mean productive. If you've been wearing multitasking like a badge of honor, it's time we had a little heart-to-heart. Hustle culture has convinced high achievers like us that juggling everything at once is the secret to success—but truth? It's draining your energy, stealing your peace, and keeping you from the real wins that matter. In today's pep talk, I'm breaking down why multitasking is a trap and why efficiency is your new self care practice. You'll hear why slowing down isn't falling behind, why presence beats busyness every time, and how choosing one meaningful priority a day can completely shift your results (and your sanity). This is for the boss babes who are tired of being “busy” but not satisfied, for the dream chasers who know they're meant for more, and for the women who are ready to protect their peace instead of their to-do lists. ✨ What you'll learn in this episode: Why multitasking is actually sabotaging your productivity How efficiency protects your energy and sharpens your clarity The simple daily shift that will help you feel true progress—not just pressure Why being fully present is the most powerful flex in both work and life Remember: busy is not the goal. Present, intentional, impactful—that's the real win.

Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes 7 Success Shifts That Actually Work (Part 1) September 23, 2025 | Episode - 5187 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Scott's back with part two of his success mindset series, and he's fired up about it! After sharing 14 mindset shifts yesterday, he's diving into seven more game-changers that'll help you get what you want. From facing your passion to letting go of control, Scott breaks down practical ways to shift your thinking. He talks about doing things "the Scott way" (which really means your way), why good enough beats perfectionism, and how the people around you are shaping who you become. This isn't Reddit-worthy advice—it's real-world stuff that works. Featured Story Scott shares his approach to decision-making by asking himself, "How would Scott do it?" It's not about ego—it's about trusting the way you were born to handle things. He talks about how God gave him a specific way of doing things, even if he started out "stupid" and had to figure it out over time. The key insight? When you trust your natural approach instead of copying what others say you should do, you tap into something authentic and powerful. Scott's motorcycle trip example shows how letting go of control and letting others lead can actually work better than trying to be out front all the time. Important Points Good enough is actually good enough for most things, and when executed consistently, it becomes perfect over time through the compounding effect. Multitasking splits your energy and delays success—focus your one mind on one thing, or better yet, see everything through the lens of your core values. You are who you hang out with due to the proximity effect, which influences your faith, money, attitude, and everything else in your life. Memorable Quotes "The confounding effect over time of being good enough and not reinventing the wheel every single day just makes perfect out of good enough." "You are so much more interesting than anything on social media. You are so much more exciting." "I think you are fighting some influential warfare today, and the more you understand that and realize that, the more you begin to really take control." Scott's Three-Step Approach Face your passion and ask yourself how you would naturally handle each situation that comes up, trusting your God-given way of doing things. Practice the good enough approach by focusing on one thing at a time and letting consistency create perfection over time. Evaluate your proximity circle and say no to anything that doesn't directly support your goals, values, and vision for your life.

Ever feel like you're carrying bricks in your backpack that no one asked you to carry? Or turning a five-minute task into a half-hour saga of overthinking? You're not alone, and your brain might actually be the culprit. In this episode, Dr. Bray pulls back the curtain on why we over complicate simple things and what neuroscience reveals about it. (Hint: it's not just about dopamine, it's about the way our brain's prediction systems and default mode network keep us stuck in loops of worry and “what ifs.”) You'll learn: Why your brain makes simple things feel hard, and how it thinks it's helping. The hidden costs of overthinking on your energy, creativity, and well-being. Practical tools to stop adding “extra screws” to life and start living with more clarity and ease. If you're ready to stop over-engineering your days and start creating space for simplicity, joy, and focus, this episode is for you. QUOTES BY DR. BRAY "The mind is designed for survival, not for peace. To find peace, we must practice it intentionally." "Overcomplicating things gives us the illusion of control, but real control comes from simplicity." "Multitasking is the art of doing everything poorly at once."

Have you ever ended your day straight-up exhausted — like you were busy all day, but when you look back, you've got almost nothing to show for it? Let me be real with you… it's not because you need to do more. It's because hustle culture has tricked you into glorifying multitasking — and baby, that will burn you out every time. In this episode, I'm calling out multitasking for what it really is: a productivity trap. Hustle culture has us believing that juggling a million things is a badge of honor, when in reality it's draining our energy, scattering our focus, and robbing us of the self-care we desperately need. If you're tired of ending your days feeling drained instead of proud, this convo is for you. By the end of this episode, you'll learn: Why multitasking is actually task switching and how it secretly kills your focus. The sneaky ways hustle culture convinces ambitious women to mistake “busy” for “productive.” Simple, practical strategies to protect your energy, set boundaries, and reclaim your peace through real self-care. Press play right now to stop glorifying hustle culture, reclaim your focus, and protect your peace so you can show up as your highest self.

Mitte der 1980er brachte Commodore mit dem Amiga ein System auf den Markt, das der Konkurrenz technisch weit voraus war, Multitasking, brillante Grafik, realistischer Sound. Er war zu seiner Zeit die perfekte Multimedia-Maschine, bevor Multimedia ein Modebegriff wurde und der leistungsfähigste Spiele-Computer. Und hinterließ einen gewaltigen Fußabdruck in der Technikgeschichte. Henner und Gunnar sprechen im dritten und finalen Teil der Amiga-Reihe über die Hochphase, die Spiele und den anschließenden Niedergang.

In this episode of Uncut & Uncensored, Caroline pulls the curtain back on the glorified chaos of multitasking. From managing businesses and kids to keeping up appearances and expectations, she unpacks the pressure cooker women live in daily and why “having it all” might just be code for “doing too much.”With her signature no-BS take, Caroline shares her personal experiences of burning out while trying to balance it all, why multitasking isn't a badge of honor, and how she's finally rewriting the rules. If you've ever felt like you're spinning a hundred plates…this one's for you.This episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.
