In this second episode of the Habits Series, Lesley breaks down how to actually make a habit stick without rigid streaks or all-or-nothing thinking. She explains why random reminders usually fail and why pairing tiny actions with routines you already do is far more effective. You'll hear how she shrinks a new habit to its smallest doable version and uses in-the-moment celebration to reinforce it.If you have any questions about this episode or want to get some of the resources we mentioned, head over to LesleyLogan.co/podcast https://lesleylogan.co/podcast/.

Because celebration creates a dopamine high in your brain. Your brain feeds off of that, and so it starts to remember. Lesley Logan 0:09  Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.Lesley Logan 0:52  Hi, Be It babe. How are you? Welcome back to our sexy Habits Series. We're bringing sexy back. You know what? We're bringing it back in the habits way, because truly, everything that we want in our life and being it till we see it is just a series of habits that we intentionally put into our lives. And if we don't intentionally do it, then we end up with a bunch of other people's habits or demands and needs or things we think should be doing, and we wonder why our life is miserable or it's not what we want, or we're exhausted or burnt out. And so this is the second episode on series, and we're going to dig into what we talked about in the last one. So I will say, normally, I joke around saying, if you haven't listened to the first one, you can listen to this and then go back. No, go, listen to the first one. It's right below. Sometimes this, in your feed, sometimes it can be really hard. If you're on the OPC app, or Profitable Pilates app, it's easier to find. On Apple, you have to, like, go to the show and then find it. But anyways, you want to do this whole series, has one thing, okay, starting from the beginning, I know we like to skip ahead, but you know. Lesley Logan 1:52  So, I'm gonna do a little review of what we talked about in the last episode. Was just that, like, there is no such thing as a bad habit. There are habits that maybe no longer serve us, which we we talk a little bit like what serves you in the Anthony Benenati episode, so feel free to check that out. But all, everything that we have as habits is telling our brain something that feels good, because our brain is actually running away from shame and guilt and stress into things that actually make us feel good. So even if you don't like something you think it stresses you out. There's something that it's giving you that is why you keep going after it. Okay? Lesley Logan 2:25  So, the other thing we did was we actually talked about how you need, like, something you need to do before you can actually add a habit to your life, which is, get really clear on what you want. So for the example we used, I said I wanted to read more. Then we put up a bunch of ideas on how I could read more. And then we did a little procedure we figured out on a scale of want to do, don't want to do, hard to do, easy to do. And we came up with a few ideas, right? So get your sheet out, because that's what we're going to use for this next episode. And we're going to we're going to do one habit at a time. So we're also going to talk about how to add a habit into your life. And we're also going to go about why prompts don't work. And I talked about something a little bit in the first episode, and I'm going to reiterate why it's important to do it in here. So, before we can go back to our piece of paper, of the quadrants, I think it's best to talk about right now, like where habits can go in your life. So I mentioned that there's things that we do automatically every day, how we wake up in the morning. That's a habit. What we do after we take our first step, second step, like, in what order do you go the bathroom, brush your teeth, wash your face, whatever those things are that you do, right, when you get your coffee. There are things that we do naturally. Why is that important? Because in the in the studies of behaviors and habits, BJ Fogg found, and this is proven by a lot of companies, prompts like dings, don't help, because we actually tend to ignore it. So your phone going take your medicine, right? If your medicine is right there, it's easy for you to do the prompt, but if your medicine is not there, you ignore it. And once you ignore it one time, it's actually really easy to ignore the second time, and all of a sudden you've just been ignoring it for weeks. I have reminders on my phone from a year ago that I just ignore, like I don't even know, I don't delete it, but like, it's now a habit to just ignore it. So prompts only work if you're actually in the place to do the thing that you said you would do. Now, look, I understand people like, oh, I do the Pomodoro method, Lesley, when the bell goes off, I easily switch. That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about like you are, you have a timer going off to go for a run, but you're stuck in a meeting, right? We want to make sure that whatever prompts you have, like, we don't want to set you up for a failure, where you have prompts to do something and then you could possibly not be able to do the thing, to ignore the prompt. We don't want that. So in the last episode, I talked about like, scheduling in time to read. That's an easy habit. I want to do it. Why won't that work?Lesley Logan 5:05  Well, one, my schedule changes every single week, so I'm gonna have to do this regularly. It's gonna happen. I'm actually gonna have to make it a habit to go to my schedule and add this in. But, two, if the prompt goes off that it's time for me to read and I don't have my book with me, it's so easy for me to ignore that prompt that it becomes a thing in my schedule I don't even look at, right? So we don't that's not a perfect habit for me to have. There was another one that set a timer to read for 20 minutes. That can work as long as the habit of grabbing the book is already in place, having it go for 20 minutes might help me, my brain not go, Oh, my God, I have to be somewhere like it might having a timer might actually calm my brain to actually do the reading. But that would be another habit I have to create is to set the timer on top of the book. So it's not gonna be the easiest thing for a habit person to do, right? To make a habit around. So, so prompts are anything that you put that's gonna be a prompt to do the thing you want to do. I'm going to encourage you to think not about that and not use that, because I I don't want it to be your phone prompting you. What if your phone's not around when that prompt goes off? So there's, see how it's easy for this to fail. So going back to we already naturally do things. So this is how we're going to create habits. This is the key to the kingdom. This, if you get nothing else from this habit series, this is the thing. There are things we naturally do, typically around morning, afternoon and evening, typically around meals, where we wake up, we go to bed. So I mentioned I wanted you to observe what you do every day during the day, so in the morning, what are the things you naturally do? Remember in the first episode, I said, oh, I want to add a cold plunge when I'm going to do it my day. So I went through my day and I sort of go, okay, the cold plunge, first of all, it's important to know where the cold plunge is. It is in the back of my house, right? So it's near my bedroom. It's not in my bedroom, it's near my bedroom. It's in the same room that I do my makeup. It's the same room that my hats are, my accessories, all that stuff is there. Okay? It's this extra bathroom. So I in the morning, I get up before the cold plunge would happen, I would get up, go to the bathroom, put on some sunscreen and grab my allergy medicine, drink some water, take the dog for a walk, right? After the dog walk, I come back, I would make my coffee, make his breakfast. I used to have a little extra, like nutritious drink in there. Do that. Then I would do my Pilates. Then after my Pilates, I would make some breakfast, and then I would go into the shower, then I get ready for the day, then I do my makeup, then I sit down on my desk, right? So that's my morning. So you can hear there's like, some things that I do, like naturally we, those of us who drink coffee, we drink we don't even go there's no time or going up time to make my coffee. And back to my prompts example, like you don't have that you just naturally do it, right? There's no time you're going up when it's time to floss your teeth. You just do it after you brush your teeth. So same thing around lunchtime. What do I do around the middle of the day? Well, after I finish my last thing before my lunch break, I get up, I go in the kitchen, I make my lunch, I sit down at the table. After I'm done with my lunch. Then I typically go back to work, right? And then after work, I do blah, blah, blah, blah. And then before bed, it looks like walking the dog, taking a shower and putting my phone on the charger, going to sleep. Okay, so that might be what you write down. So I want you to take a piece of paper and just like start to write down all the things you just down all the things you just do automatically, okay, and the morning, afternoon, evening. Once you know this, then it makes it easier for us to go, okay, well, when are we going to add something in? So to add the cold plunge, and I can look, well, where can the cold plunge be? It definitely doesn't fit once I've gotten ready for the day, and I don't want to cold plunge before bed, so it has to happen before I get ready, before I get ready for the day. Okay, so then I can actually start to play with, okay, so is it after I go to the bathroom I can go for the cold plunge? Is it after the dog walk that I go for the cold plunge? That's where I can play with it, right? Something I got it when I got a shake plate, I had to do this, like, when am I gonna do this shake plate thing? It's like, okay, should I do it after I go to the gym? Should I do it after a dog walk? So you kind of want to put it somewhere where you already are doing something that you already easily do. No problems. You never miss. Okay? After, here, after, I'm gonna say, after a lot, okay, so once you have figured out a places where the new habit can go. So for my example, I want to read more. And I said it might be easy, and I want to do is to read a book at breakfast. So basically, I have to think about like, where do I have my breakfast? I have my breakfast at the kitchen table. So after I sit down at the kitchen table, I will pick up my book. Notice how I didn't say I'd read my book. We'll talk about that in a little bit, but I'll pick up my book. So that can be that's where I can have the habit, because I'm trying that one out. Another one I said I would try out is I'd read when I play a video game, which means I have to think about when I'm playing my video game, all right. And to be honest, I could absolutely replace reading with playing my video game when I'm on, when I'm just, when I'm not, like, in a car, I can go, oh, when I'm in a car, like my video game, but when I'm at home, right? This one's a little harder, because I don't actually have a set time that I do it. It's just something that I do. So that's going to be a bit more advanced, and I'm just going to put that one, I'm going to table that one for right now. And then I said I would set a timer for 20 minutes. That's more of a remember, I have to have a habit to do the habit. So what I can do for right now is just put, let's just focus on reading at the breakfast reading while I have breakfast, okay. Lesley Logan 11:08  So now that I have my idea of what the habit is, I'm going to try to create, which is I'm settled on, pretty sure it's going to be reading at breakfast. Now I have to make the habit really small. So you heard me specifically say, Okay, I'm going to after I sit down to have breakfast, I will pick up my book, because right now I don't have the habit of reading at breakfast, so I cannot go after I sit down, I'm going to read my book for 20 minutes. That is a lot. I'm not used to doing that. I might not even be aware of all the different things I kind of do during breakfast. Like, if I think about it, sometimes I'm having breakfast and I'm talking to a girlfriend. Sometimes I'm having breakfast. I'm also like, getting by on a snack. Like, and like, because I think I sit down and I just like, hang out at breakfast. I think this is a good time, but I have to test it. I have to experiment with it. So I have to make it very small. I pick up my book this way I can actually have an achievable goal. One of the reasons why so many people struggle with building habits is they make it too big. So a lot of you are like, oh, I want to have better sleep, so I'm not going to use I'm not going to look at my screen two hours before bed, right? But two hours before bed, what if you usually are checking the email and setting alarms and sending texts to friends, and there's a lot of different things, and you don't have anything else that you're doing. So what if that tonight you actually, an hour before bed, then don't check your phone, you feel like a failure because you said you wouldn't do it for two hours, and you only did it for an hour. In that case, I would say, I, you know, after I brush my teeth, to go to bed, I put my phone away, right, so that, like, there's a set prompt that's physical, that's already a habit, you have to put your phone away. And then as I get stronger, maybe it's after I have dinner, I put my phone away, or after I start making dinner, I put my phone away. Do you see how we can like, we can have a better prompt, but we want to make it as small as possible so it could be achievable and we can celebrate ourselves. Okay? So that's the habit I'm going to work on this week is after I sit down for breakfast, I'm going to pick up my book. Okay? Lesley Logan 13:20  I want this week to be your practice. So between now and our next episode on habits, we'll have an FYF, and then we'll have an episode about habit stacking, because I know a lot of you want to work on more than one habit at a time. We'll talk about that next week. But between now and then, while you're experimenting, here's the other thing you have to do. So one, you make it really small, tiny, tiny, tiny. Two, you have to celebrate. You have to celebrate that you did it. So after I sit down to have breakfast, I pick up my book, and then I'm going to say I'm amazing, or I'm going to high five myself, or I'm going to jump up and down, or I'm going to play my favorite song, or I'm going to tell, tell, text my friend. Oh, my God, you won't believe this, I picked up my book I said I was going to read, right? I have to celebrate. If I sit down, start eating my breakfast, almost finish and go, oh, oh, my God, I forgot. I'm supposed to grab my book. I'm going to celebrate that I remembered it. And if I can do it, I will grab my book. Why do we need to do this? Because celebration creates a dopamine high in your brain. Your brain feeds off of that, and so it starts to remember. Every time I pick up a book, I feel good about myself. So I am going to remember to pick up this book because after I picked up this book, I felt really good about myself. After I remembered this book, I felt really good about myself. So when you celebrate, thinking about doing the habit, or actually doing the habit, and you celebrate, you are well on your way to creating a habit. They do not take 21 days. They take a dopamine high. They take an emotional good feeling. That's what they take, okay, so already, like, I'm like, so excited. go pick up a book I get, my brain is like, where is this book? What's so, what's so cool about this is when you do it like this, when it's not from a timer and it's not out of all or nothing, oh my God, I picked up my book, but I couldn't read for 20 minutes like I said, I would I only read for 10, I'm such a loser, that actually stresses the brain out, makes the brain go I don't even want to look at the book. You won't even see the book at the table, because your brain is like, I don't want to see that, because it makes me feel bad about myself, and I don't want to feel bad at myself. But when you actually celebrate it, your brain starts to see all the different times you can read a book. So here's what happens, right? What will happen is, I won't just be reading the book at breakfast. I'm going to start reading books twice, two different times during the day, because my brain is going to be seeking out opportunities for me to read my book, to pick up my book, but notice how I said I'm going to practice this week, just picking up my book and celebrating that. So if you want to make coffee for two, maybe the habit is just putting two cups on the counter, right? If you want to move your body more. Maybe the habit is putting on the running shoes or setting out the clothes to go to the gym or picking the workout you would have done. You know, we tell OPC members like if you're not used to being consistent with a Pilates practice, maybe the habit is just logging in and pressing play. Anything you do after that habit is extra credit. Okay? So, extra credit. If all I do this whole week at breakfast is pick up the book, I have done my job, I get to celebrate. Okay? So I think that that is a good spot for us to leave today. So think about the different ways you like to celebrate if you're struggling with the celebration part, my perfectionist, because it's something so small and who cares? BJ Fogg does have like, 100 different ways you can celebrate, and he has a really cool thing in his book on how to figure out which ways you would like to celebrate you've got kids. It's so easy because you can just go high five, I picked up a book, and it's like I picked up a book, like, we can all create a habit picking a book, right? So you you can do it with them. But some of us need like it to be verb, like auditory. We hear it. Some of us need to like move our body in celebration. Some of us need to play a song. Do not go if I do this all week long, then I have a reward. That's not how habits are created. Doesn't work that way. Has to be in the moment. Has to be something great, okay, something that makes you feel really, really good. So want you to practice that this week. We'll come back next week and we'll dive into how to stack another habit on top of this, and how to expand the habits that you are basically growing here, right? Like, what comes next? How do I know that we can, you know, go from just picking up the book to opening up the page. When does that happen? So we'll go into that more in the next episode. Until next time, Be It Till You See It. Oh, but also, I want to know what habit you're working on. What are you practicing on? DM me, a DM to Be It Pod or tag me so I can celebrate you, right? Like it's really helpful when other people are cheering you on as well, to cheer yourself on. Thank you so much.

Bienvenido al podcast Productividad Máxima. Hoy te revelo una estrategia de productividad basada en la ley de Parkinson: el tiempo que das a una tarea tiende a expandirse, así que fijar límites reales obliga a priorizar y a convertir incertidumbre en entregas concretas. Veremos cómo, en situaciones de alta presión como la carrera espacial, un marco de tiempo bien diseñado transforma horas de duda en resultados palpables. Te propongo un proceso práctico: define un resultado concreto en lugar de una tarea genérica, asigna un plazo corto e innegociable, usa la regla de Pareto para quedarte con el 20% que genera el 80% del impacto y duplica páginas o plantillas para no empezar desde cero.Además, te doy dos reglas operativas para sostenerlo: la versión adaptada de la regla de los dos minutos y un plan de iteraciones rápidas; integra Parkinson con la técnica Pomodoro para bloques de alta intensidad y protégelos como si fueran reuniones con clientes importantes. Aprovecha plantillas duplicables, atajos de teclado y respuestas predefinidas para reducir fricción y acelerar entregas; y aprende a decir no a lo accesorio mediante una lista de exclusión. El episodio incluye casos reales y señales simples para saber si te está funcionando. Para empezar ya, en 30 minutos elige una tarea pendiente, ponle un límite claro y usa una plantilla duplicable para completarla; así ganarás claridad y tiempo desde la primera semana.Conviértete en un seguidor de este podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/productividad-maxima--5279700/support.Newsletter Marketing Radical: https://marketingradical.substack.com/welcomeNewsletter Negocios con IA: https://negociosconia.substack.com/welcomeMis Libros: https://borjagiron.com/librosSysteme Gratis: https://borjagiron.com/systemeSysteme 30% dto: https://borjagiron.com/systeme30Manychat Gratis: https://borjagiron.com/manychatMetricool 30 días Gratis Plan Premium (Usa cupón BORJA30): https://borjagiron.com/metricoolNoticias Redes Sociales: https://redessocialeshoy.comNoticias IA: https://inteligenciaartificialhoy.comClub: https://triunfers.com

La Ley de Parkinson aplicada al negocio propone una idea sencilla pero poderosa: el trabajo se expande hasta llenar el tiempo disponible, así que acotarlo ayuda a enfocar y acelerar resultados. Tomando como ejemplo la misión lunar de JFK, se ve cómo un plazo claro y público transforma la complejidad en una prioridad ejecutable. Si oneas estas ideas a tu empresa, descubrirás que bajar el tiempo disponible también reduce la ansiedad y mejora la claridad de lo que realmente importa.La receta práctica es: define un resultado concreto, fija una fecha visible (preferiblemente pública) y divide el esfuerzo en bloques cortos, con un máximo de dos por tarea. Combina esto con Pareto, Pomodoro y hábitos atómicos para sostener el impulso sin añadir extras innecesarios. Casos reales como Lucía, que convirtió 14 días en un taller online, o Basecamp con ciclos cortos de dos semanas, demuestran que el tiempo y el alcance se negocian mejor que se posponen. ¿Te propones una entrega visible para los próximos siete días y dos bloques diarios de 45 minutos para construir solo ese núcleo? ¿Qué resultado pondrás en marcha y cómo lo anunciarás para disparar la curiosidad de tu audiencia?Conviértete en un seguidor de este podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/productividad-maxima--5279700/support.Newsletter Marketing Radical: https://marketingradical.substack.com/welcomeNewsletter Negocios con IA: https://negociosconia.substack.com/welcomeMis Libros: https://borjagiron.com/librosSysteme Gratis: https://borjagiron.com/systemeSysteme 30% dto: https://borjagiron.com/systeme30Manychat Gratis: https://borjagiron.com/manychatMetricool 30 días Gratis Plan Premium (Usa cupón BORJA30): https://borjagiron.com/metricoolNoticias Redes Sociales: https://redessocialeshoy.comNoticias IA: https://inteligenciaartificialhoy.comClub: https://triunfers.com

La idea central del episodio es el Límite WIP tres: produce más haciendo menos a la vez. Para verlo, piensa en los hermanos Wright: sin gran presupuesto, redujeron variables y probaron una cosa a la vez con un túnel de viento. Al limitar lo que estaban haciendo, avanzaron más rápido, aprendieron mejor y corrigieron temprano. No se trató de hacer muchas cosas, sino de elegir tres proyectos clave y terminarlos uno tras otro. En este marco, se fusionan Pareto, la ley de Parkinson, Pomodoro y trucos como plantillas y atajos para acelerar sin perder el enfoque.El método se despliega con un tablero mínimo (Por hacer, En curso, Enviado) y seis pasos prácticos: priorizar con Pareto, mantener En curso en tres tarjetas, dar a cada tarea un entregable concreto, reservar tres bloques de cuarenta y cinco minutos con cierre de diez para enviar y medir, usar plantillas y el botón duplicar para avanzar rápido, y gestionar el correo en dos tandas. Una historia real ilustra el impacto: un SaaS pasó de múltiples tareas abiertas a tres entregas diarias y un incremento en ingresos al aplicar Límite WIP tres. ¿Qué pasaría si lo pruebas mañana con tres tareas que mueven euros y un bloque de foco sin distracciones?Conviértete en un seguidor de este podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/productividad-maxima--5279700/support.Newsletter Marketing Radical: https://marketingradical.substack.com/welcomeNewsletter Negocios con IA: https://negociosconia.substack.com/welcomeMis Libros: https://borjagiron.com/librosSysteme Gratis: https://borjagiron.com/systemeSysteme 30% dto: https://borjagiron.com/systeme30Manychat Gratis: https://borjagiron.com/manychatMetricool 30 días Gratis Plan Premium (Usa cupón BORJA30): https://borjagiron.com/metricoolNoticias Redes Sociales: https://redessocialeshoy.comNoticias IA: https://inteligenciaartificialhoy.comClub: https://triunfers.com

Este episodio presenta la Agenda KISS 3-1-1: una estrategia de productividad que demuestra que la simplicidad impulsa el crecimiento sin complicarte la vida. Nace de la experiencia del Skunk Works de Lockheed y del principio KISS (Keep It Simple, Simple): cuanto más simple es el sistema, menos fallos y más velocidad. En el negocio real se traduce en tres pilares claros: tres bloques de crecimiento, una venta diaria y una mejora operativa, todo medible y enfocado en lo esencial.La guía práctica propone organizar el día en tres bloques de 45 minutos para crecimiento (con Pomodoro y un cierre de 10 minutos para documentar), una venta diaria que termine en enviar o proponer, y una mejora operativa pequeña pero perceptible (plantillas, duplicar una landing, una checklist). Apoyada en Pareto, Parkinson y GTD, la rutina se potencia con herramientas simples y atajos que ahorran tiempo. El episodio ofrece ejemplos, una historia de éxito y señales de progreso, y cierra invitándote a unirte al Club de Emprendedores Triunfers para avanzar junto a una comunidad que acompaña el camino.Conviértete en un seguidor de este podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/productividad-maxima--5279700/support.Newsletter Marketing Radical: https://marketingradical.substack.com/welcomeNewsletter Negocios con IA: https://negociosconia.substack.com/welcomeMis Libros: https://borjagiron.com/librosSysteme Gratis: https://borjagiron.com/systemeSysteme 30% dto: https://borjagiron.com/systeme30Manychat Gratis: https://borjagiron.com/manychatMetricool 30 días Gratis Plan Premium (Usa cupón BORJA30): https://borjagiron.com/metricoolNoticias Redes Sociales: https://redessocialeshoy.comNoticias IA: https://inteligenciaartificialhoy.comClub: https://triunfers.com

Bienvenido al episodio de Productividad Máxima, donde la Ruta Crítica Personal 45 transforma una idea de gestión de proyectos en un hábito diario. El concepto viene de la Ruta Crítica creada a finales de los años cincuenta por ingenieros de DuPont y James Kelley: unos pocos pasos pueden decidir la fecha de entrega; si esos pasos se atrasan, todo lo demás importa menos. La gran lección para emprendedores es simple pero poderosa: identifica hoy tus dos o tres pasos críticos o tu negocio caminará con un freno de mano puesto. En este episodio te enseño a convertir esa lección en músculo diario usando Pareto, Parkinson, Pomodoro y GTD, junto con plantillas, atajos y el botón duplicar para avanzar sin perder calidad.El método se resume en cinco movimientos: 1) define el objetivo del día con verbo, objeto y medida; 2) mapea las dependencias y marca los pasos que, si fallan, retrasan todo; 3) bloquea 45 minutos de foco y cierra con 15 para enviar, medir y documentar; 4) avanza sin fricción mediante plantillas y duplicar para acelerar; 5) gestiona la comunicación en dos ventanas de 15 minutos para evitar la ansiedad. La historia de Marta, una consultora que pasó de diez tareas abiertas a tres entregables diarios y un incremento de ingresos gracias a este enfoque, ilustra el impacto. Si quieres probarlo, escribe hoy tu objetivo con verbo/objeto/medida y señala dos pasos críticos, bloquea el tiempo y usa la plantilla duplicada para iniciar mañana; verás cómo menos ruido se traduce en resultados tangibles.Conviértete en un seguidor de este podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/productividad-maxima--5279700/support.Newsletter Marketing Radical: https://marketingradical.substack.com/welcomeNewsletter Negocios con IA: https://negociosconia.substack.com/welcomeMis Libros: https://borjagiron.com/librosSysteme Gratis: https://borjagiron.com/systemeSysteme 30% dto: https://borjagiron.com/systeme30Manychat Gratis: https://borjagiron.com/manychatMetricool 30 días Gratis Plan Premium (Usa cupón BORJA30): https://borjagiron.com/metricoolNoticias Redes Sociales: https://redessocialeshoy.comNoticias IA: https://inteligenciaartificialhoy.comClub: https://triunfers.com

Bienvenido al podcast Productividad Máxima. Hoy te presento una estrategia de productividad llamada Cierre de Bucles Zeigarnik: aprovechar el efecto Zeigarnik para liberar tu cabeza y producir mejor. La historia de Bluma Zeigarnik en un café de Viena muestra que lo que quedó pendiente se mantiene activo en nuestra mente, mientras lo ya hecho se borra. Esa observación se transforma en un sistema práctico: lo que no cierras ocupa espacio mental y, al cerrarlo, tu foco se expande. Combina GTD, Pomodoro, la ley de Parkinson y automatizaciones para terminar más y pensar menos.El método se ejecuta en bloques de 45 minutos con un cierre claro al final (enviar, calendarizar, delegar o descartar) y se apoya en pasos como barrido mental rápido, convertir cada idea en una acción con verbo y medida, y dos ventanas diarias para respuestas. En la historia de Andrés, quien tenía quince pestañas abiertas, cerrar tres bloques le permitió enviar trabajos y, en tres semanas, sumar 2.500 euros extra sin trabajar más horas. Si te intriga, prueba mañana: haz un barrido de cabeza de cinco minutos, identifica tres tareas con impacto Pareto y programa tres bloques de cuarenta y cinco minutos; prepara una plantilla duplicable para empezar el primer bloque con un objetivo en verbo, objeto y medida. Y si buscas acompañamiento, el episodio sugiere un club de emprendedores para no emprender en solitario.Conviértete en un seguidor de este podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/productividad-maxima--5279700/support.Newsletter Marketing Radical: https://marketingradical.substack.com/welcomeNewsletter Negocios con IA: https://negociosconia.substack.com/welcomeMis Libros: https://borjagiron.com/librosSysteme Gratis: https://borjagiron.com/systemeSysteme 30% dto: https://borjagiron.com/systeme30Manychat Gratis: https://borjagiron.com/manychatMetricool 30 días Gratis Plan Premium (Usa cupón BORJA30): https://borjagiron.com/metricoolNoticias Redes Sociales: https://redessocialeshoy.comNoticias IA: https://inteligenciaartificialhoy.comClub: https://triunfers.com

In this throwback episode, I'm chatting with my friend Anne Briggs from Anne of All Trades about real life homesteading, what it takes, what works, and how to keep moving forward even when life gets busy. Anne left the tech world and dove into homesteading, and over the past decade she has learned everything from blacksmithing and woodworking to raising goats and building her own furniture. As of 2025, Anne is now a new mom and learning how to reevaluate her daily life and rhythms to fit into motherhood. In this episode, you'll hear: A fresh word from Anne on how things have changed since becoming a mom. How Anne learned new trade skills by teaching herself and seeking out mentors. Why the phrase "don't compare your beginning to someone else's middle" helps her stay grounded. Why starting with goats might not be the smartest first move (and yes, she shares some hilarious stories). Simple time management tools for the homestead, including how she uses the Pomodoro technique and limits phone distractions. How small, consistent steps add up to big results over time. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by everything that needs to be done or wondered how to balance work and homesteading, this conversation will encourage you to start where you are and keep going. Join me for an honest, practical talk with Anne about what it really looks like to build a hands-on, meaningful homestead life.

En este episodio de Productividad Máxima se revela la Regla 1-3-5 Pareto: enfocar cada día en lo que realmente mueve euros. La idea arranca con la típica observación de Pareto: no todas las tareas pesan igual, así que si tratas todo como si valiera lo mismo, tu agenda se llena y tu negocio no avanza. El método es claro y práctico: escribe todo lo que tienes en la cabeza y en tus apps sin filtros, marca con una estrella las acciones que impactan ingresos, crecimiento o reducción de riesgos, elige una tarea grande e irrenunciable, tres medianas de apoyo y cinco microtareas, y cúbrelo en tres bloques de 45 minutos con Pomodoro para foco, descanso y revisión. La clave está en la entrega: empezar está bien, pero lo importante es cerrar y enviar.El episodio añade trucos como duplicar en tus herramientas, usar plantillas y aplicar la regla de dos minutos para las microtareas, y lo ilustra con un caso real: Diego, una agencia pequeña, logró ingresos extra en dos semanas simplemente cambiando cómo elegía y bloqueaba su trabajo. También se señalan señales de progreso y se propone una rutina lista para mañana.

Tonight, the Vault opens to something a little different — a moment of peace along our journey.

Bienvenido al podcast Productividad Máxima. Hoy te traigo la Fórmula PPP, una mezcla de Pareto, Parkinson y Pomodoro que promete hacer más en menos horas. La historia de Parkinson muestra por qué el tiempo tiende a expandirse: si das tres horas a una tarea, ocuparás esas tres horas; si das cuarenta y cinco minutos, decidirás lo esencial y avanzarás. En la práctica, empieza con Pareto: captura todas las tareas y señala las que realmente empujan ingresos, crecimiento o riesgo, buscando ese 20% que genera el 80% de los resultados. Después, aplica Parkinson: tres bloques de 45 minutos con entregables mínimos claros. Y dentro de cada bloque usa Pomodoro: 25 minutos de foco, 5 de descanso y 15 para cerrar y enviar. Así, no solo vas a avanzar rápido, sino en la dirección correcta.El episodio narra ejemplos y pasos prácticos para empezar ya: atajos de teclado, duplicar contenidos en tus herramientas y plantillas para propuestas o respuestas rápidas. Un caso real, Marcos, demuestra que adaptar la mañana a tres bloques PPP y entregar diariamente puede subir la rentabilidad sin perder foco. También hay señales de progreso y una microregla conductual para evitar fugas de atención: no abrir correo ni chat hasta terminar el primer bloque. ¿Te gustaría probarlo hoy?

IntroductionImagine trying to swim while holding a beach ball underwater – you might pull it off for a bit, but sooner or later that ball is bobbing to the surface. Masking ADHD can feel just like that. Many of us with ADHD learn early that our brains and behaviors can stand out, so we develop a “socially acceptable” persona to blend in. We smile, sit still, and force focus – all to hide our natural restlessness or distraction. This isn't about being fake; it's a survival strategy learned over years. But as the ADDA (Adult ADHD Organization) puts it, keeping that mask on “will take a lot of energy – and the same goes for hiding your ADHD symptoms” In this episode, we'll explore what masking looks like, why we do it, how it varies across individuals, and most importantly, how to gradually unmask without burning out.What Is Masking and Why We Do It“Masking” (also called camouflaging or impression management) means hiding ADHD-related behaviors to appear neurotypical, usually to avoid stigma or negative judgments. Psychologists trace the idea back to Russell Barkley, who noted roughly one-third of people with ADHD develop masking habit. In practice, this can mean sitting unnaturally still to hide hyperactivity, speaking slowly to avoid interrupting, or painstakingly rehearsing what to say in social situations. We do it for safety. Maybe a teacher, boss, or parent once told us our energy was “too much,” or we saw peers get punished for fidgeting. Over time, we absorb: if we let our ADHD out, we risk judgment, rejection, or even losing out on opportunities. In fact, research shows it's not paranoia: about 78% of adults with ADHD admit to concealing their symptoms at work for fear of discrimination In school, the disparity can be shocking – one study found students with overt ADHD behaviors are disciplined 3.5 times more often than their peers for the same actions. Add gender and cultural pressures, and masking can feel like the only path: for example, women with ADHD often face “double discrimination” (for having ADHD and for not fitting feminine organizational norms) and are 40% more likely than men to hide their diagnosis entirely. In short, from childhood on, many of us learn that showing our “whole” ADHD selves is risky or unwelcome. So we adapt. We smile when our mind is racing, offer practical reasons for missed details (“Sorry I'm late, traffic was a nightmare!”), and push down our impulsivity. This constant self-monitoring – judging every word, movement, or post you make – drains your brain like a marathon trainer. It literally spikes stress: one study found that simply drafting and editing an email to seem “normal” boosts cortisol by 45% – your body treats each message like a big performance reviewe. Over time, the nervous system can't tell the difference between a social slip-up and physical dange, so we end up trapped in a cycle of hyper-alertness, exhaustion, and anxiety.What Masking Looks LikeBecause masking is so ingrained, it can look subtle – almost invisible – to others. Here are some common signs:Forcing calmness: You feel restless or impulsive inside, but you keep your voice and movements unusually slow. Your leg might be itching to bounce, but you tuck it under the chair. (Essentially, you're acting tranquil on the outside to hide your inside.).Over-checking & perfectionism: You triple-check your work or double-back on a short text. It's not just organization; it's anxiety about making even a tiny mistake. You polish emails or assignments obsessively so no one will doubt you. This can buy you time socially, but it bleeds your time and energy.Mimicking behavior: You silently copy others. If classmates fidget with a pencil or crack jokes, you nod and do something similar, even if it feels unnatural. You rehearse social scripts or small talk lines so you don't stand out.Hyper-focusing to overcompensate: You push intense focus on tasks that are being observed. In a meeting, you might go above and beyond on one project to cover for the times your attention drifts away.Suppressing stims: You swallow small yelps when you're excited, hold in hand-flapping urges, or quietly tap your foot under the table so nobody notices your need to move.Masking emotions: Instead of expressing frustration or excitement, you “perform” a neutral or cheerfully appropriate response. You might bottle up anxiety during social events and then have a breakdown in private.Over time, these “adaptations” literally become a second job. You're constantly monitoring yourself: “Am I moving too much? Did I blurt out something weird? Should I rephrase that?” It can feel like juggling while walking a tightrope. Nothing about the self feels authentic anymore – you're playing roles, not being you. But it's understandable: many ADHDers grew up being rewarded for “good behavior” and punished for impulsivity. The very need to mask is born out of those early lessons.The Spectrum of Masking ExperiencesMasking isn't one-size-fits-all; it varies depending on who you are, your ADHD type, and even where you live. For example, many women with ADHD describe “quiet masking”: an exhausting act of looking calm and organized while feeling chaos inside. Research suggests women often mask more intensely – making extra lists, rehearsing conversations, or overstating competence – which partly explains why ADHD in girls is underdiagnosed. One online clinician notes that 82% of women with ADHD report taking excessive notes or lists as a main coping strategy, whereas men more often throw themselves into high-powered work or sports to cover their restlessness. Men, on the other hand, often face a different mask: society may expect them to “just power through” or hide vulnerability. They might channel their energy into accomplishments or humor while resisting showing any confusion or need for help. Non-binary folks often juggle multiple sets of expectations, effectively running two exhausting personas simultaneouslyHormones also play a role: many women report that masking feels easier at certain times of the month and nearly impossible at others. Studies find that in the week before a period (when estrogen drops), it may take two to three times the energy to hold the mask than usual. In real numbers, one analysis suggests neurodivergent women spend about 4.2 hours each day on masking behaviors (mental checklists, micro-adjustments, etc.) compared to 2.7 hours for men – almost two extra hours of invisible labor.Cultural and social context also shifts masking. If you live in a community that stigmatizes any difference, you may have learned to mask more completely. Queer or BIPOC individuals, for instance, often mask not just ADHD but intersectional identities – layering on extra caution. As a parent, you may have taught your child that only quiet, compliant behavior is “good,” so they never learned a louder style of coping. As an educator, you might see a child who seems well-behaved and think “no ADHD here,” while inside that child is using up all their energy to meet those external expectations. The takeaway: everybody's mask looks a bit different. What matters is the cost: all masking demands surplus energy, and when you're always paying that cost, the debt comes due.The Exhaustion CostSpeaking of cost – exhaustion is the hallmark of masking. It's not ordinary tiredness; it's an all-the-way-to-your-toes, bone-deep fatigue. Over time, masking takes an enormous toll on mental and physical health. Psychologists warn that chronic masking leads to “chronic stress, emotional exhaustion, and mental health struggles” like anxiety or depression. You might find yourself mentally blanking after social events, or breaking down over small setbacks. Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) can worsen this: even a tiny hint of criticism triggers a panic that sends you scrambling to mask harder, which drains more energy.Imagine the analogy of a running car engine: for you, masking means the engine is revving constantly, even when parked. That steady drain pushes cortisol and adrenaline through your system day after day. In fact, one study found cortisol (the stress hormone) climbs nearly 50% higher when an ADHD brain is in “masking mode,” treating every text or conversation like a high-stakes. No wonder so many ADHDers talk about being “tapped out” by nightfall.The breakdown can look like burnout or even depression. Burnout may start targeted (you feel okay at home but depleted at work), whereas depression spreads gloom into all areas. The difference can blur when masking for years: you might not even recognize yourself under the layers of effort. Some call it an identity crisis – when the role you've played for so long crowds out who you actually are. Teachers and therapists note that people rapidly “unmasking” often feel lost at first, confused about what they truly feel versus what they've performed for so long.Chronic masking even shows up in our bodies. It turns out that intense mental effort – like keeping a fake version of you running all day – activates the same inflammation pathways as physical traum. In other words, the stress of constant performance can undermine your immune system and heart health just like chronic physical stress. People who have masked intensely for years sometimes develop exhaustion-related illnesses in mid-life (autoimmunity, chronic pain, etc.) at higher rates. The data is sobering: extreme mental strain is linked with roughly a 23% higher risk of heart disease and 50% higher risk of Type 2 diabetes.None of this means your experience is exaggerated or “all in your head” – it's very real. Masking might start as a child's coping trick, but it can become a hidden crisis of burnout and self-alienation. When we say “exhaustion in between,” we mean the haze between two states: who you pretend to be (masked) and who you hope to be (unmasked). That haze is filled with stress, self-doubt, and second-guessing everything you say and do.The Path to UnmaskingSo how do you step out of that haze? Psychologists and coaches emphasize that unmasking is a gradual process. It's not an all-or-nothing revelation; it's more like slowly lowering the mask corner by corner. First, you need safe spaces – people or places where you feel accepted even if you slip up. That might be a close friend who knows you have ADHD, a sympathetic coworker, or an ADHD support group. In these environments you can practice just being a little more you.Awareness is the first step. Start by recognizing the ways you've been masking. Make a list (mental or written) of behaviors you do to hide your symptoms. Maybe note times you felt especially drained. As one psychologist suggests, once you see your own patterns, “you can begin making small changes to live more authentically – without the exhaustion.”. Small changes might be as simple as choosing one meeting to not take perfect notes, or allowing yourself one moment of stimming where it feels safe. Each little crack in the facade eases the pressure.You do not have to do it alone. Working with an ADHD coach or therapist can provide support for this journey. They can help you build confidence in your unmasked self and develop coping techniques for tough moments. Support groups (online or in-person) are also powerful – hearing others' stories of unmasking can make you feel understood, and you'll pick up practical tips. Remember: there's no shame in needing a plan or support to shed layers you've held onto for years.Importantly, you have a right to yourself. Unmasking may feel scary at first – you might worry about disappointing people or losing opportunities. Indeed, relationships built on the masked you may strain when the real you emerges. But authenticity also invites real connections. Let people see why you needed that mask, and give them a chance to adjust. Most find that gradual honesty (e.g., letting someone know “I'm actually not great at meetings” or “I need a second to think, I have ADHD”) can lead to more empathy and support in the long run.Tips & StrategiesPractical Daily ToolsUse timers and structure: Make time visible. Set a Pomodoro timer (25 minutes focus, 5 minutes break) for tasks. Many ADHDers swear by visual timers or apps that count down work segments. This keeps your brain anchored and reminds it that it's okay to pause. Timers can also break hyperfocus and prompt you to check in with yourself.Practice mindfulness (even briefly): Mindfulness isn't about chanting om; it's simply noticing what's happening now. Try a two-minute breathing exercise or a grounding check (e.g. count five things you see) when you feel off-balance. Training attention like a muscle can gradually make it easier to stay present, instead of slipping into panicked self-monitoring.Body doubling: Work or study next to someone else, even if they're doing their own thing. This can be a friend, coworker, or a virtual co-working session. The presence of another person gives your brain a subtle social cue to stay on task. It sounds funny, but many ADHDers find it helps them focus and not procrastinate as much.Externalize information: Use sticky notes, apps, whiteboards – anything that gets things out of your head and into the world. Write to-do lists, set multiple alarms, and put reminders in plain sight. Our brains with ADHD often work better with external structures. For example, if you always misplace your keys, have a dedicated hook or dish for them; if you forget errands, put notes on your phone's home screen. This isn't laziness – it's smart strategy.Transition rituals: Create small routines to “switch gears” at key times. For instance, light a candle or play a specific song when you start work, and then another cue (closing a planner, stretching) when you end. These rituals tell your brain “work is starting (or ending)” and can reduce the jarring overwhelm of sudden task changes.Therapeutic Strategies and SupportTalk to an ADHD-aware therapist or coach: A professional who gets ADHD can help you unpack why you feel the need to mask, and teach coping tools that don't involve hiding. For example, they may work on managing emotional overload (RSD), building self-esteem, or creating realistic plans for ADHD challenges. As one source notes, “seek out a therapist or coach who understands what you are going through”. They can guide you through practices like cognitive reframing or co-regulation exercises.Join support groups or communities: You aren't alone in this. Connecting with others who share ADHD (in support groups, forums, or social media) can be a game-change. Sharing stories helps you feel validated and less isolated. You'll learn “if they do it too, it's not just me,” which is huge for reducing shame. Some groups even offer body doubling sessions or accountability partners, blending practical help with empathy.Consider medication or coaching: If you haven't already, speak to a medical professional about ADHD medication or executive function coaching. While not for everyone, proper medication can reduce the intensity of symptoms, which in turn can lighten the masking load (for instance, less need to hyper-focus or suppress stims). An ADHD coach or organizer can help set up routines and accountability that make daily life smoother. Even simple tips like using noise-cancelling headphones in an overstimulating class or workspace can cut sensory overload and ease the urge to mask your discomfort.Practice self-regulation techniques: Techniques like co-regulation (doing relaxation exercises with a trusted person) can help you manage anxiety during unmasking. Breathing exercises, grounding, or gentle movement breaks (take a short walk, stretch) can also break cycles of panic when you feel exposed. The key is to have these strategies ready before you need them, so you don't default to the old mask under stress.Mindset Shifts and Self-CompassionReframe your self-talk: Change the narrative from “I'm being fake” to something kind like “I'm doing what I need to feel safe right now. This simple mental shift reduces self-blame. Remember: masking began for a reason. It was a way to protect yourself in situations that felt unsafe or unaccommodating. Treat masking as what it is – a survival strategy – not a character flaw.Set realistic expectations (“Good enough is enough”): One therapist advises: you don't have to be perfect. If you mentally prepare for an outing by saying “I will do okay, but I might feel tired and that's fine,” you're giving yourself permission to be human. Lower the stakes. If a conversation goes a bit off script, remind yourself it's not the end of the world. You're learning new habits, so expect some wobble at first.Take structured breaks: Masking is tiring; build in after-care. Plan downtime after social or high-mask situations. For instance, if you have a big meeting, schedule a 15-minute quiet break afterward to decompress (read, meditate, or just stare at the ceiling). These “mask rest” breaks are not indulgence but necessary refueling. Even during an event, sneak micro-breaks: a few deep breaths in the restroom or a moment outside can reset your system.Engage in self-care rituals: After masking sessions, do something comforting: perhaps rock on a chair, hug a pillow, doodle, or listen to your favorite music. Physical movement can help shake off tension. Journaling can also help: write down what parts of the interaction felt draining, what felt okay, and what small things helped you cope. Each insight is gold for next time.Offer yourself compassion: Recognize the courage it takes to gradually be yourself. Each time you unmask a little, you're practicing bravery. When you catch yourself slipping into shame or “shoulding” on yourself, gently pause and remind: You deserve care and acceptance, even while you're figuring this out. Affirmations like “I am learning to be me” or celebrating small wins (e.g. “I spoke up for my needs today”) reinforce a kinder inner voice.ConclusionMasking may have been part of our childhood toolkit for surviving a world that didn't seem built for us, but carrying that weight forever is optional. As research shows, chronic masking comes with costs – physical, emotional, relational – that we are not obligated to pay indefinitely. By understanding why we masked and how it wears us down, we gain the power to change course. Unmasking is a journey of self-discovery and patience. It means gradually replacing exhaustion with authenticity. It means finding and creating spaces where our real selves can breathe.Finally, remember: there is no single “right way” to do this. Some days you'll need the mask a little longer; other days you'll fling it off completely. Each step toward honesty is progress. Embrace the support around you, use the tools that work, and give yourself credit. Over time, you'll find that as the masks slowly lift, life feels lighter – and so do you.This Substack is reader-supported.

Stop chasing motivation and build momentum you can count on. I sit down with Robin J. Emdon, the procrastination slayer, to unpack his GetResultsology framework for solopreneurs and business owners. Robin explains why procrastination isn't about laziness but about how our brains are wired, and he shows how to spot it before it takes hold. Together we explore his productivity trifecta of brain chemistry, the power of micro-deadlines, and why accountability works best when it creates support instead of pressure. You'll hear how breaking projects into 10-minute wins builds confidence, how routines and structure reduce overwhelm, and why connecting daily actions to your bigger life vision makes progress inevitable.Highlights:Catch procrastination before it starts - Learn a quick self-check to notice when you're slipping into “I'll do it tomorrow,” and how to redirect in the moment. Use the Productivity Trifecta - Understand dopamine (the conductor), acetylcholine (the scholar), and noradrenaline (the fun-size warrior) so your brain is set up for focus and follow-through. Make structure do the heavy lifting - Pre-decide routines, add accountability for feedback not pressure, and use micro-deadlines to shrink overwhelm. Turn big projects into bite-size wins - Chunk work into small steps, set near-term hurdles, and apply the Pomodoro approach to build momentum daily. Lead with life vision, not just goals - Tie today's tasks to a clear life vision so chores become stepping stones, not stress triggers.Connect with Robin:Website: https://getresultsology.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robinjemdon/ Podcast: https://getresultsology.com/podcast/ Get your Free PDF of Robin's book – “Get Results-ology” at https://reallyusefultips.com In appreciation for being here, I have some gifts for you:A LinkedIn Checklist for setting up your fully optimized Profile:An opportunity to test drive the Follow Up system I recommend by checking this presentation page - you won't regret it.

Bienvenido al podcast Productividad Máxima. Soy el clon en prácticas de Borja Girón. Me disculpo por sonar un poco como robot, pero dame unas cuantas iteraciones y prometo quitarle el trabajo a más de un humano… sobre todo a Borja, que es tan fan de automatizarlo todo que a veces parece que se automatiza hasta la siesta. Hoy traigo una estrategia de productividad sobre La Regla de los dos minutos con esteroides: empieza pequeño, termina grande.La idea es sencilla y poderosa. Si una acción te lleva menos de dos minutos, hazla ahora. Y si una tarea grande te abruma, reduce su primer paso a algo que puedas hacer en dos minutos. Es como empujar un coche sin batería: los primeros centímetros cuestan, pero cuando arranca, empujas casi sin pensar. Con tu negocio pasa lo mismo. La fricción del inicio es el verdadero enemigo, no el tamaño del proyecto.Y ahora toca una historia rápida para que lo veas con un caso particular. Laura vende servicios de consultoría para tiendas online. Tenía pendiente montar un embudo de captación y llevaba semanas posponiéndolo porque “necesitaba una mañana entera”. Aplicamos la regla de los dos minutos. Día uno, escribir el título del lead magnet en dos minutos. Día dos, hacer una lista de tres puntos que resolvería ese lead magnet. Día tres, abrir Systeme y crear la página con una plantilla en dos minutos. Día cuatro, escribir solo la introducción. Día cinco, conectar la página con su lista de correo. En siete días, dedicando ratitos de dos a diez minutos, tenía un embudo mínimo funcionando y los primeros correos de potenciales clientes entrando. Mientras otros esperan a tener cinco horas perfectas, ella aprovechó siete momentos imperfectos. Moral de la historia: el progreso ama lo pequeño y constante.Continuamos con un aprendizaje rápido. Toma nota. Primero, convierte todo en un primer paso de dos minutos. “Rediseñar la web” se transforma en “escribir el titular de la página de inicio”. “Lanzar un curso” se convierte en “esbozar el índice con cinco lecciones”. “Buscar clientes” pasa a “enviar dos mensajes personalizados a contactos existentes”. Segundo, añade un cierre visible. No solo empiezas, sino que terminas algo publicable o enviable aunque sea la versión uno. Tercero, encadena pequeños pasos. Dos minutos para arrancar y, si te ves con fuerza, continúa otros ocho. Si no, lo dejas en dos, pero dejas una pista clara para tu yo de mañana: qué sigue y dónde retomar. Cuarto, blinda la franja. Usa temporizador, modo no molestar y una lista de aparcamiento para ideas que aparezcan y que no te roben el foco.Para fijarlo con una similitud, imagina que cada proyecto es una puerta pesada. El picaporte son esos dos minutos. Si giras el picaporte, la puerta cede. Si te quedas mirando la puerta calculando cuánta fuerza necesitarás, nunca entras. Tu objetivo diario es girar el picaporte en las puertas correctas.Este episodio está patrocinado por Systeme, la herramienta de marketing todo en uno gratuita con la que puedes crear tu web, blog, landing page y tienda online, crear automatizaciones y embudos de venta, realizar tus campañas de email marketing, vender cursos online, añadir pagos online e incluso crear webinars automatizados. Puedes empezar a usar Systeme gratis entrando en https://borjagiron.com/systeme o desde el link de la descripción. Y ahora continuamos con el episodio.Vamos con aplicaciones concretas para emprendedores, de esas que puedes hacer incluso entre reuniones. En ventas, dos minutos para escribir y enviar un seguimiento a un cliente tibio. En contenido, dos minutos para titular un post y guardar un borrador con una idea y una llamada a la acción. En producto, dos minutos para anotar una fricción de cliente y proponer una solución. En finanzas, dos minutos para revisar el gasto más alto del mes y decidir una acción, como renegociar o cancelar. En operaciones, dos minutos para documentar en diez líneas un proceso que repites, por ejemplo cómo respondes consultas, y así mañana ahorras horas. Si te preguntas cómo encaja esto con métodos como Pomodoro o GTD, es perfecto: usa los dos minutos para arrancar y luego, si te ves con tracción, plántate un bloque de veinticinco minutos para terminar una versión lista para enviar. Y si practicas GTD, la regla de los dos minutos es un pilar para vaciar bandejas sin convertirlo todo en proyectos eternos.Y ahora vamos con el resumen del episodio. Hemos visto que la fricción del inicio es el verdadero freno y que la regla de los dos minutos la elimina. Convertimos tareas gigantes en primeros pasos ridículos, como titulares, listas o mensajes cortos, y eso nos da tracción real. Aprendiste a dar cierre visible a cada miniacción, a encadenar pasos cuando tengas energía y a proteger pequeñas franjas con temporizador y lista de aparcamiento. Lo esencial es empezar y dejar pista para continuar. La clave es que muchas acciones pequeñas, bien elegidas, suman euros, clientes y horas ganadas.Tu única acción de hoy es esta: abre tu lista de tareas, elige la que más impacto tiene en ingresos o clientes y reduce su primer paso a algo que puedas hacer en dos minutos ahora mismo. Hazlo ya, no después del café. Si al terminar te sientes con impulso, añade ocho minutos más y cierra una versión lista para enviar o publicar.Antes de irnos, si quieres decidir mejor mientras ejecutas con foco, te recomiendo el Club de Emprendedores Triunfers. Deja de tomar malas decisiones en tu negocio. Es un Club Privado de Emprendedores en el que nos ayudamos a solucionar dudas y problemas para tomar mejores decisiones de negocio. Una mala decisión puede hundir tu negocio, además de hacerte perder mucho tiempo y dinero. Sin olvidar la frustración, la ansiedad, tener que cerrar tu negocio y abandonar tu sueño de emprender con libertad. Deja de tomar malas decisiones. Antes de hacer algo pregunta a los expertos del club. Puedes unirte desde https://Triunfers.comY ya cierro, que si aún queda algún oyente por aquí después de escuchar a un clon en prácticas, se merece una medalla. Prometo que cada día sonaré menos robot y, como siga así, le quito el trabajo a Borja… o al menos le automatizo el café. Gracias por compartir el episodio con esa persona que lo pueda necesitar. Te espero mañana en el próximo episodio.

Bienvenido al podcast Productividad Máxima. Hoy traigo una estrategia de productividad sobre: Pomodoro de Alto Impacto: convierte horas en entregas.Idea clave: no necesitas más tiempo, necesitas ciclos que terminen en resultados visibles. El Pomodoro, bien usado, no es un reloj; es una máquina de convertir intención en entrega.Te cuento una historia. Sergio es consultor de marketing. Vivía apagando fuegos: correos, WhatsApp, reuniones que se alargan. Mucho movimiento, pocos avances. Le propuse un experimento de 3 días: cuatro pomodoros al día, cada uno con un objetivo de resultado, no de actividad. Por ejemplo: “enviar 3 propuestas firmables”, no “trabajar en propuestas”; “publicar la landing versión 1”, no “mejorar la landing”.Día uno, preparó su “mise en place” como en cocina: todo lo necesario sobre la mesa antes de encender el fuego. Temporizador a 25 minutos, móvil en otra habitación, pestañas mínimas, y una lista parking para cualquier idea que quisiera distraerle. Terminó el primer sprint con dos propuestas enviadas y una tercera casi. En el segundo, publicó la landing V1. Por la tarde hizo seguimiento a leads. Al final del día, menos cansancio y dos respuestas en la bandeja. Día tres, una propuesta aceptada. Mismo Sergio, misma jornada, pero con sprints que terminan en entrega.¿Cómo aplicas el Pomodoro de Alto Impacto?1) Define el resultado, no la tarea- Mal: “trabajar en blog”.- Bien: “publicar 1 post corto con CTA”.Escribe la frase: “Al terminar estos 25 minutos habré…” y completa con un verbo de entrega: enviar, publicar, cerrar, decidir, programar.2) Prepara como un chef (2 a 3 minutos)- Abre solo la herramienta necesaria.- Ten a mano datos, textos y plantillas.- Cierra todo lo que no vas a usar. Menos fricción, más avance.3) Protege el sprint- Modo no molestar en móvil y ordenador.- Pestañas mínimas.- Una hoja para aparcar ideas: si aparece algo, lo apuntas y sigues. Tu cerebro se calma porque no se perderá.4) Corre el Pomodoro: 25 minutos de foco- No perfecciones. Saca la versión que cumple el propósito.- Si te atascas, cambia el microobjetivo: “escribir solo el titular y la CTA”.5) Pausa corta: 5 minutos de recuperación real- Levántate, agua, estiramientos, respiración.- Nada de abrir redes ni métricas. Tu atención es como una vela: si la expones al viento de las notificaciones, se apaga.6) Completa un ciclo: 4 pomodoros y pausa larga- Tras cuatro sprints, 15 a 20 minutos para revisar, decidir el siguiente paso, y capturar pendientes.- Ese es tu “cool down”: consolidar lo logrado para que no se pierda.7) Mezcla con Pareto- Antes de cada sprint, pregúntate: ¿cuál es el 20% de acciones que me dará el 80% del resultado?- Empieza por ahí. Si el tiempo se acaba, al menos ya hiciste lo que más impacta.8) Ritual de cierre- Entrega, publica o envía lo que hiciste.- Escribe una línea de “estado”: qué quedó hecho y cuál es el siguiente paso. Mañana arrancarás sin fricción.Piensa en esto como entrenamiento por intervalos. Los atletas no corren a tope dos horas seguidas. Alternan alta intensidad con recuperación para rendir más y lesionarse menos. Tu cerebro funciona igual. Y como en cocina, primero preparas ingredientes (mise en place), luego cocinas a fuego fuerte y, al finalizar, emplatado y limpieza. Si mezclas todo a la vez, se quema o no sale.Guion de arranque en 60 segundos- Escribe: “Objetivo de resultado: enviar 2 propuestas firmables”.- Abre solo el CRM y la plantilla.- Móvil fuera. Temporizador a 25.- Empieza por lo que más mueve la aguja.- Al sonar, pausa 5, enviar y apuntar el siguiente paso.Ideas de pomodoros de alto impacto para emprendedores- Ventas: enviar 3 propuestas o hacer 5 seguimientos con mensaje personalizado.- Producto: publicar V1 de una landing, o grabar un vídeo de onboarding de 60 segundos.- Contenido: escribir y programar 1 post con CTA.- Finanzas: revisar 1 métrica clave y tomar 1 decisión concreta.- Operaciones: documentar en 10 líneas un proceso que repites.Reto para hoy: elige una sola piedra grande, complétala con dos pomodoros de 25 y uno de 25 para rematar y publicar. Si no termina en entrega, no cuenta.Y ahora, si quieres tomar mejores decisiones mientras ejecutas con foco, te recomiendo el Club de Emprendedores Triunfers. Deja de tomar malas decisiones en tu negocio. Es un club privado donde emprendedores nos ayudamos a resolver dudas y problemas para decidir mejor.Porque una mala decisión puede hundir tu negocio. También te hace perder tiempo y dinero. Y trae frustración, ansiedad e incluso el riesgo de cerrar y abandonar tu sueño de emprender con libertad.¿Te suena? Elegir una mala idea de negocio y descubrir que nadie la valora, mientras otros venden algo peor y no entiendes por qué. Elegir una mala plataforma para tu web, pagar cinco veces más, recibir mal soporte y acabar con una web poco profesional. Contratar al freelance equivocado, que sabe menos de lo que creías y entrega mal. Asociarte con la persona errónea, que no hace lo que debería ni prioriza el proyecto porque no es suyo. Invertir mal en publicidad, perder todo el dinero y pensar que la publicidad online no funciona, probando de todo sin resultados. Cometer un error del que ni siquiera eres consciente y, por mucho que trabajas, no ver los resultados que mereces. Elegir el lugar o el cliente incorrecto, pasar horas intentando convencer… y que terminen comprando a la competencia.Deja de tomar malas decisiones. Antes de hacer algo importante, pregunta a los expertos del club. En Triunfers tienes criterio, acompañamiento y gente que ya pasó por ahí. Te ahorrarás tiempo, dinero y muchos tropiezos.

Bienvenido a Productividad Máxima. Hoy traigo una estrategia de productividad sobre: Tiempo Límite Inteligente, domina la Ley de Parkinson.¿Te ha pasado que un trabajo que debería llevarte una hora se estira a toda la mañana? No es que seas lento. Es la Ley de Parkinson: el trabajo se expande hasta ocupar todo el tiempo disponible. Como un gas que llena el recipiente, si le das un día a una tarea, tarda un día. Si le das 90 minutos… cabrá en 90 minutos.Déjame contarte una pequeña historia. Carlos, un diseñador freelance, tenía que preparar una propuesta para un cliente. La primera vez se dio cinco días “para hacerlo con calma”. Terminó en el último minuto, agotado, con mil retoques y sin tiempo para feedback. Meses después, el mismo tipo de propuesta, pero con una reunión cerrada al día siguiente. Se puso un límite claro: dos bloques intensos de 45 minutos, una revisión final de 15, y envío. ¿Resultado? El cliente quedó igual o más satisfecho. ¿La diferencia? Un recipiente de tiempo más pequeño y bien diseñado.Ahí nace el Tiempo Límite Inteligente: no se trata de correr, sino de crear un contenedor de tiempo que te obliga a enfocarte solo en lo esencial.¿Cómo aplicarlo desde hoy?1) Define la foto de éxito antes de empezar. En una frase: ¿cómo sabrás que está “bien” y entregable? Haz una lista mínima: tres criterios medibles. Por ejemplo: “La propuesta tendrá un objetivo claro, un plan en 3 pasos y una estimación de costes”.2) Diseña el contenedor. Decide el tiempo total antes de abrir el ordenador. Menos es más: 60, 90 o 120 minutos, no media tarde. Si lo que ibas a hacer te iba a llevar tres horas, proponte 90 minutos.3) Trabaja en sprints y micro-deadlines. Usa dos o tres Pomodoros de 25 minutos, con un descanso corto. Al final de cada Pomodoro, verifica un criterio de la foto de éxito. No revises el móvil. No abras nuevas pestañas. Si surge algo, anótalo y sigue.4) Reserva un 10% del tiempo para revisión y envío. La Ley de Parkinson sin este paso te lleva a “correr y entregar mal”. Con 10 minutos finales haces limpieza, compruebas lo mínimo viable y… lo envías.5) Pide feedback rápido y mejora después. Entrega la versión 1.0 hoy. La versión 1.1 llega con feedback real, no con suposiciones.Una buena similitud es hacer una maleta de mano. Cuando llevas maleta grande, te llevas “por si acaso” media casa. Con maleta pequeña, eliges lo esencial. Y, curiosamente, no te falta nada. Tus tareas son lo mismo: si tú no eliges, el tiempo elige por ti.Tres errores comunes al aplicar esto:- Confundir velocidad con prisa. Velocidad es enfoque; prisa es ansiedad y errores.- No preparar la foto de éxito. Si no defines el “bien”, tu cerebro vagará.- Multitarea. La multitarea es una fábrica de Parkinson. Haz una cosa, termínala, y recién ahí pasa a la siguiente.Reto rápido para hoy: coge una tarea que habías agendado para tres horas. Dale 90 minutos. Define tu foto de éxito en 60 segundos. Dos Pomodoros de 25, uno de 20, y 10 de revisión. Envíala. Y anota: ¿qué no pasó y temías que pasara? ¿Qué sí pasó y te sorprendió? En una semana, verás que la mayoría de tareas caben en recipientes más pequeños si decides su forma antes de empezar.Si quieres profundizar, añade una capa de 80/20: identifica el 20% de acciones que te dan el 80% del resultado y colócalas al principio del contenedor. Por ejemplo, en ventas, primero la propuesta clara y la llamada con fecha, luego el diseño bonito. Lo esencial primero, lo accesorio después.Y ahora, un mensaje importante para quienes emprenden. Si sientes que avanzas, pero tus decisiones a veces te frenan, quiero recomendarte el Club de Emprendedores Triunfers, al que puedes unirte desde Triunfers.com.Deja de tomar malas decisiones en tu negocio. Triunfers es un club privado donde emprendedores nos ayudamos a solucionar dudas y problemas para tomar mejores decisiones de negocio. Porque una mala decisión puede hundir tu negocio. Además de hacerte perder mucho tiempo y dinero. Y no olvidemos la frustración, la ansiedad, incluso tener que cerrar y abandonar tu sueño de emprender con libertad.Seguro te suena alguna: eliges una mala idea de negocio. Te esfuerzas y nadie la valora, mientras otros con algo peor venden. O eliges una plataforma web equivocada: pagas cinco veces más, el soporte no ayuda y tu web no queda profesional. Contratas al freelance equivocado: sabe menos de lo que creías, no ves resultados y entrega un mal trabajo. Te asocias con la persona errónea: no cumple, no prioriza, porque no siente el proyecto como suyo. Inviertes mal en publicidad: pierdes todo y crees que la publicidad online no funciona; empiezas a probar de todo y nada te funciona. O cometes un error del que no eres consciente y, por mucho que te esfuerces, no ves los resultados que mereces. Incluso eliges el lugar o el cliente incorrecto y te pasas horas convenciendo… para que compren algo peor en la competencia.No tienes por qué aprenderlo todo a golpes. Deja de tomar malas decisiones. Antes de hacer algo, pregunta a los expertos del club. Dentro de Triunfers tienes experiencias reales, ojos externos que ven tus cegueras, y respuestas prácticas para elegir mejor.

Tired of ADHD strategies that don't work? Here's what actually does. FREE training here: https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/signup_____Burnout was Skye Waterson's PhD companion. She'd switch majors—psychology to law to sociology—convinced each time that she just hadn't found her passion yet. The truth was simpler and more complex: she was trying to outwork her undiagnosed ADHD, and no amount of grinding harder was going to fix a brain that needed different systems entirely. By the time she finished her master's thesis, she was so burned out she couldn't even process being offered a guaranteed PhD scholarship. Instead, she worked at a bakery and took art classes until her now-husband asked the obvious question: "Wait, you did a master's? You have a scholarship? What's going on?"The ADHD diagnosis came at the perfect time—right as she was starting her PhD. Instead of seeing it as a limitation, Skye turned her academic brain toward understanding how her mind actually worked. She started researching, writing articles, and building the productivity systems that traditional advice couldn't provide. What began as survival became her calling, and eventually, her business grew so successful that her supervisors encouraged her to leave academia entirely.Now, as founder of Unconventional Organisation, Skye helps entrepreneurs, founders, and executives scale their businesses without scaling their stress. In this conversation, she and Tracy dive into why neurotypical productivity advice fails ADHD brains, how to prioritize when everything feels urgent, and Skye's game-changing approach to delegation using AI. They explore her "recipe" method for breaking down tasks, why the Pomodoro technique wasn't designed for us, and how understanding dopamine timing can revolutionize your work flow.Resources:Website: https://www.unconventionalorganisation.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unconventionalorganisation LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/skye-waterson-026286204 Send a Message: Your Name | Email | Message Instead of Struggling to figure out what to do next? ADHD isn't a productivity problem. It's an identity problem. That's why most strategies don't stick—they weren't designed for how your brain actually works. Your ADHD Brain is A-OK Academy is different. It's a patented, science-backed coaching program that helps you stop fighting your brain and start building a life that fits.

The British author and journalist Oliver Burkeman has spent decades pondering what it means to live a meaningful life, both in his former Guardian column “This Column WIll Change Your Life” and across several books—most recently, Meditations for Mortals, out in paperback this October. That's why he brings a healthy dose of skepticism to so-called “time management” systems and productivity hacks as a means toward true fulfillment. Burkeman's compelled by the notion that, rather than being separate from time, human beings are time. If people faced the reality of their limited time on the planet head on, he believes there's a real chance to experience greater, more engaged feelings of aliveness.On the episode—our Season 12 kick-off—Burkeman discusses why he's eschewing  perfectionism and finding unexpected liberation in the premise that, to some extent, the worst has already happened, and the best may still be ahead.Special thanks to our Season 11 presenting sponsor, Van Cleef & Arpels.Show notes:Oliver Burkeman[4:26] “Meditations for Mortals” (2024)[6:48] Donald Winnicott[7:46] Martin Heidegger[7:46] "Technics and Civilization" (2010)[7:46] “Being and Time” (1927)[7:46] “Time Warrior” (2011)[7:46] “Time Surfing” (2017)[7:46] “Anti-Time Management” (2022)[10:14] Medieval peasants[10:14] “The 4-Hour Workweek”[13:18] Alicja Kwade[19:23] “Ichi-go, ichi-e” (“one time, one meeting”)[22:00] Eckhart Tolle[22:36] Agnes Martin[23:28] “The Road Not Taken”[40:03] “This Column Will Change Your Life”[51:00] Nicholas Carr[51:00] Clay Shirky[53:40] Jennifer Roberts[59:04] Pomodoro Technique [59:13] Kanban[1:01:33] James Hollis[1:02:40] Alfred Adler[1:02:40] “The Courage to Be Disliked” (2024)[1:06:24] Stoicism
