If your week feels full but not fitting, you can learn more at mikevardy.com/yourclockwiseweek.We spend a lot of time talking about how to do more. What we talk about far less — and what might matter far more — is the question of how to pace yourself while you do it. Not as a wellness concept or a vague self-care suggestion, but as a genuine strategy for sustaining quality, avoiding collapse, and staying aligned with what actually matters to you over time.Elizabeth Svoboda is the author of The Art of Pacing: A Guide to Balancing Shorter-Term Demands with Long-Term Thriving, and this conversation covers a lot of ground in the best possible way. Elizabeth is a science journalist whose work has appeared in the New York Times, Psychology Today, and many other publications. Her book grew out of a thirty-year reckoning with her own pacing failures — a culture of maximum output with no equivalent emphasis on what you leave to the side. What she built from that is something both research-grounded and deeply practical.Six Discussion PointsPacing without purpose is just slowing down — knowing where you're headed is what makes a deliberate pace possible at all, and this is where most productivity advice quietly falls apartThe difference between racing and pacing is a single letter, but the difference in outcomes compounds over years — top athletes understand this through tapering, and the rest of us are still catching upBurnout is not an event, it's a trajectory — heart rate variability (HRV) tracking and tools like the Maslach Burnout Inventory can help you see the train coming before it hits, shifting you from reactive to proactiveRigid, hyper-granular scheduling is brittle by design — adaptability and flexibility aren't the enemies of structure, they're the only way a structure survives contact with real life"Restorying" — the hero's journey applied inward — is a surprisingly useful alignment tool: when what you say you want doesn't match how you're spending your time, the story reveals itBrief candles, those short moments of focused, selfless attention toward others, can change the entire arc of someone's life and cost almost nothing in terms of time or energyThree Connection PointsElizabeth Svoboda's website: elizabethsvoboda.com — find her book The Art of Pacing and her broader journalism workTimeCrafting: The connection between pacing and intentional time use is at the heart of my own framework — if this episode resonated, you might find this useful: Stop Managing Your Time.

If this conversation shifted anything for you — even a small recognition that you might be racing when you could be pacing — I'd encourage you to sit with that for a bit before doing anything about it.

If your week feels full but not fitting, you can learn more at mikevardy.com/yourclockwiseweek.Most productivity conversations start with systems, tools, and tactics. This one starts with something more fundamental: the quiet principles sitting right beneath the surface of your day that you've been walking past without noticing. Not because they're hidden — but because they're too simple to take seriously. That's what Heather Jo Kennedy's book For Starters is about, and it's why this conversation resonated with me in a way that felt less like an interview and more like a long overdue reminder.Heather Jo Kennedy is an author, speaker, and coach who grew up in the Dallas Cowboys organization — her father is quarterback Danny White — and that world of fundamentals, teamwork, and earned results is threaded through everything she teaches. Her book presents six core principles that she argues aren't just overlooked, they're statistically proven to change how you move through a day. We dig into all of them here, and the conversation went places I didn't expect.Six Discussion PointsGratitude isn't soft — it's structural. Heather shares the Duke University "Three Good Things" study, which found that a simple nightly practice of noting three positives can outperform antidepressants within two weeks. The real insight: gratitude is principle number one not because it's inspirational, but because it grounds everything else.Identity is the bedrock of productive impact. You can't make the difference you're meant to make if you don't know who you are. Growing up as a celebrity daughter, Heather watched identity get shaped by outside perception — and spent years reclaiming her own. That experience is at the heart of how she teaches this principle.Productivity is the means, not the end. Heather's definition — recognizing your unique purpose and acting on it — cuts against the idea that productivity is about maximizing output. We explored how that framing shift changes what you actually do with your time and energy.Frustration is a control signal, not just a mood. In the action chapter, Heather breaks frustration down to its root: you're either trying to control something you can't, or you're letting something control you when it shouldn't. Recognizing which one is happening is the first step to acting rather than reacting.Giving is the destination, not a detour. The Picasso line — "the meaning of life is to find your gift; the purpose of life is to give it away" — becomes a genuine lens here. We talked about what happens when you run every decision through the filter of am I adding value, and what that would do to the quality of everything we put into the world.Finishing requires humility, not just grit. The principle that landed hardest: sometimes quitting is a form of finishing. Clarity about whether a goal is wrong for you can't always come before you start — it often comes from the movement itself. Don't quit because it's hard. But quit when it's wrong.Three Connection PointsFor Starters by Heather Jo Kennedy — the book we discussed throughout this episode, and the best starting point for her workTimeCrafting: Stop Managing Your Time, Start Crafting It — my take on why "time management" is a broken concept, and how crafting your time changes the whole relationshipThe Lantern — my weekly newsletter — where I continue exploring these kinds of foundational ideas between episodesThe idea of overlooked principles is a quiet indictment of the way most of us approach getting things done. We reach for the system, the app, the strategy — and skip right over gratitude, identity, and the question of whether we're actually controlling what we think we're controlling. Heather's framework is a reset button disguised as a short book. If any of the six principles we discussed pulled your attention, that's probably where to start. Until next time, remember: stop doing productive, start being productive. See you later.If this episode resonated, I'm exploring ideas like these more deeply in my upcoming book, Productiveness.

If your week feels full but not fitting, you can learn more at mikevardy.com/yourclockwiseweek.There's a loop most of us know well, even if we've never named it: feel behind, find the thing that's going to fix everything, go all in for a few weeks, get derailed by life, and start over — carrying a little more shame each time. It doesn't matter whether we're talking about fitness, productivity, or building a business. The pattern is the same, and so is the trap. We keep waiting for things to get back to normal so we can try again properly. But what if that version of normal isn't coming back?Steve Kamb is the founder of Nerd Fitness, which has grown over 17 years into a platform that has coached more than 20,000 people one-on-one. His new book, How to Try Again, grew out of that work — specifically from the most universal problem he kept encountering across thousands of conversations: the all-or-nothing mindset. Steve built a four-part framework called PACT — Pause, Accept, Change, Try — to help people break the doom loop and stop waiting for ideal conditions that never arrive.Six Discussion PointsThe pause is the hardest part of PACT not because it requires effort, but because it requires restraint — and our productivity culture has no patience for it. Slowing down feels like falling behind, when it's often the only way to figure out if you're even moving in the right direction."Normal" is not a destination you return to — it's whatever your actual days look like right now, including the chaos, the interruptions, and the laundry on the floor. Waiting for a predictable routine to materialize before you start is a way of never starting.Before you commit to a goal, ask the question most people skip: What if this works? If success means you have to keep doing the thing you hate, you've picked the wrong goal. The reward for getting good at Instagram is that you have to keep doing Instagram.Treating your next attempt like a non-judgmental experiment — part scientist, part detective — removes the weight of outcome and replaces it with curiosity. You're not measuring whether you become the person you admired; you're measuring what you learned about yourself.The doom loop compounds. Every incomplete attempt doesn't just reset the clock; it adds guilt and shame to the pile you're already carrying. Recognizing the loop is the first step to using one of the escape pods Steve calls "half-assing it" — doing the most of the thing you can do today, rather than the ideal version of it.Steve effectively fired himself as CEO of his own company to get back to the work he actually loved — writing. The book that resulted is his most personal project, and it came from applying PACT to his own life: pausing, accepting who he really is, changing his role, and trying again on his own terms.Three Connection PointsHow to Try Again by Steve Kamb — howtotryagain.comNerd Fitness — Steve's 17-year-old community and platform: nerdfitness.comStop Managing Your Time, Start Crafting It — My piece on the TimeCrafting approach, which shares a lot of philosophical ground with Steve's ideas about working within your actual constraints rather than imagined ones: Read it on MediumThe conversation Steve and I had goes back sixteen years, and there's something fitting about the fact that both of us have spent that time learning — the hard way, repeatedly — that the frameworks and tools only work when they're built around the life you're actually living. PACT isn't a productivity system. It's permission to be human and then do something about it. If you've been waiting for the right moment to try again, this might be the episode that helps you stop waiting.If this episode resonated, I'm exploring ideas like these more deeply in my upcoming book, Productiveness.

If your week feels full but not fitting, you can learn more at mikevardy.com/yourclockwiseweek.This episode marks the latest installment in PM Talks, the monthly series I do with my longtime collaborator Patrick Rhone. We've been doing this for a few years now — closing in on three seasons — and what I love most about these conversations is that they're genuinely reflective. We're not coming in with a polished take. We're working through ideas in real time, and that's exactly what makes them worthwhile.This time around, Patrick and I dove into a word that doesn't get nearly enough airtime in 2026: prudence. It's one of those terms that has been moralized, gendered, and generally squeezed out of everyday conversation. But it's also one of the nine principles in my upcoming book Productiveness, and the more I unpack it, the more convinced I am that it's something we're all practicing quietly — even when we don't call it by name.Six Discussion PointsPrudence traces back to the mid-14th century as a concept tied to intelligence, foresight, and practical wisdom — and it sits alongside justice, fortitude, and temperance as one of the four classical cardinal virtues. That's a lot of weight for a word most people associate with Dana Carvey doing George H.W. Bush.The word has faded from everyday use for a few reasons: it got moralized through its religious and philosophical associations, it became a common woman's name that then fell out of fashion, and perhaps most crucially, it got sidelined by a speed culture that has no patience for anything that feels unhurried.Prudence lives in interesting territory between "too soft" words like intentional and "too hard" words like strategic or tactical. It carries a moral dimension that neither of those fully captures, which is part of why it's so hard to replace and so easy to overlook.The connection between prudence and AI turned into one of the richest threads we pulled on. Patrick made the point that AI is fundamentally not prudent — it doesn't tolerate known unknowns well, and tends to hallucinate its way toward confident-sounding answers even on questions that science genuinely hasn't resolved (yawning being a particularly delightful example). Applying AI prudently means knowing where human judgment still has to lead.Evening routines and morning preparation came up as lived examples of prudence in action — laying out clothes the night before, prepping dinner before your brain is fully engaged, checking in with a collaborator ahead of a scheduled call. Prudence often shows up in the small, low-glamour decisions we make before we even know we'll need them.Patrick, who does circus rigging work, offered a line that I think is the most compressed definition of prudence I've heard: "Slow is smooth and smooth is fast." When you're under time pressure — two minutes to set up a flying net — the prudent approach isn't to rush. It's to move deliberately, know the order of operations, and trust that the method will get you there faster than panic will.Three Connection PointsPatrick Rhone's blog post: Thoughts on AI and the Known UnknownsRyan Holiday's video responding to Ivanka Trump's comments on stoicismMike's upcoming book Productiveness, where prudence is one of the nine core principlesPatrick and I will be back next month for PM Talks S3E7, where we're taking on a word with a lot of range: tolerance. It means something very specific in rigging and something very different in everyday conversation, and I suspect we'll cover a fair bit of ground on both fronts. In the meantime, I hope this episode gives you an excuse to bring "prudence" back into your vocabulary — and more importantly, to notice the places where you're already living it.If this episode resonated, I'm exploring ideas like these more deeply in my upcoming book, Productiveness.

If your week feels full but not fitting, you can learn more at mikevardy.com/yourclockwiseweek.There is a difference between confidence and bravado, and most people have never really had to find out which one they actually carry. Confidence — real confidence — is built in the gap between the work you've done and the hard thing in front of you. Bravado is what fills that gap when the work hasn't been done. My guest in this bonus episode has spent decades inside some of the most pressure-tested environments in business, and that distinction was never abstract for him. It was survival.George Barrios is the former Co-President and Co-CEO of WWE and the author of Sometimes Wrong, Never in Doubt: How a Cuban Kid from Queens Transformed WWE. The book traces the lessons he gathered growing up in Flushing, Queens, through his rise inside corporate America, and into the center of a global media pivot that Wall Street initially ridiculed — and later celebrated as one of the most brilliant transformations in the public markets. I jumped at the chance to have this conversation. As a lifelong wrestling fan, I made that abundantly clear. This is a bonus episode, and it more than earned its runtime.Six Discussion PointsReal confidence isn't a personality trait — it's a record of preparation. The "sometimes wrong, never in doubt" mantra only holds up when it's earned through genuine craft-level work, not performance or false bravado.The Swamp of Despair is a real and necessary part of doing anything great — George and his co-CEO Michelle Wilson lived through it during WWE's transformation, and the graphic that mapped that arc became a touchstone for leading others through uncertainty without showing doubt.Your first zip code never fully leaves you — George's Queens upbringing shaped his willingness to disagree, push back intellectually, and refuse to accept "that's just how it is" as an answer. That edge has a shadow side, but directed well, it becomes a competitive advantage.Winning the battle for time, not just eyeballs — the strategic reframe that drove WWE's entire media approach was measuring time spent consuming content, not raw view counts. Attention lives inside time, and that distinction changed everything.Writing is the process by which you discover you don't know what you're talking about — George's most consistent advice to anyone starting out is to read and write relentlessly, not as discipline, but as the only real way to develop a genuine point of view.Inversion thinking as a practical tool — when George and Michelle were on the phone with lawyers trying to shut down pirated WWE content in China, flipping the assumption entirely led to one of the most counterintuitive and consequential decisions of the transformation. Assume you're wrong. Ask what you'd do then.Three Connection PointsSometimes Wrong, Never in Doubt by George BarriosReadwise — the book highlight recall tool George uses daily to surface and connect past reading:What is TimeCrafting? Mike Vardy on managing your relationship with timeThis bonus episode didn't come with a polished set of talking points — it came with the kind of directness that only develops after you've been in enough rooms where the stakes were real and hesitation wasn't an option. If there's one thing I want you to take from this conversation, it's that the confidence worth having isn't something you put on. It's something that accumulates quietly, from doing the work no one is watching. Sit with that for a while.If this episode resonated, I'm exploring ideas like these more deeply in my upcoming book, Productiveness.

If your week feels full but not fitting, you can learn more at mikevardy.com/yourclockwiseweek.Most of us have been told that success is about mindset — stay positive, visualize the outcome, trust the process. But what if that advice is quietly working against you? What if the more honest — and more useful — move is to look directly at what could go wrong, name it clearly, and then do something about it?That's the argument Kyle Austin Young makes in his book Success is a Numbers Game. Kyle isn't asking you to become a pessimist. He's asking you to stop pretending uncertainty doesn't exist — and start using it as a lever. This episode gets into probability, decision-making, and what it actually means to give yourself better odds.Six Discussion PointsThe reason generic optimism fails: unnamed, unfocused anxiety doesn't disappear when you think positive — it just goes undergroundWhy "success is a numbers game" isn't about obsessing over data, but about acknowledging that ignoring uncertainty is its own kind of riskThe averaging trap: multiplying the odds of what has to go right reveals a predicted failure even when each individual step feels doableHow the Miracle on Ice reframes as probability rather than miracle — and what the US hockey program's subsequent growth tells us about the compounding effect of one winThe success diagram as a practical tool: mapping what has to go right, identifying the potential bad outcomes beneath each step, and using creativity to reduce those risksWhy AI is most useful in this framework as a brainstorming partner — helping you surface obstacles and workarounds you might not think to name on your ownThree Connection PointsSuccess is a Numbers Game by Kyle Austin YoungConnect with Kyle on LinkedInStop Managing Your Time. Start Crafting Your Time Instead. A complementary piece designed to help you structure your time so the pauses Kyle recommends actually have a place to landWhat Kyle is really describing is the difference between hoping things go well and actively improving the odds that they will. That's a distinction that matters whether you're chasing a career goal, building a creative practice, or simply trying to follow through on what you said you'd do. The success diagram isn't a complicated tool — it's a focused one. And focus, as Kyle puts it, is what lets you live your life and still recognize the right moment when it arrives. If this conversation shifted something for you, I'd encourage you to sit with it — and maybe grab the book.

This episode is brought to you by Your Clockwise Week—a personalized weekly structure built around your actual life, not an ideal one. If your week feels full but not fitting, you can learn more at mikevardy.com/yourclockwiseweek.The word "intentional" has been hollowed out. It's on coffee mugs, in Instagram bios, and attached to productivity advice that treats it like a personality trait rather than a practice. But intentional living isn't a vibe — and it's not the opposite of busy. It's a specific practice: asking, before you spend your time and energy, whether what you're doing actually aligns with what you value. That question is harder to sit with than most people expect. And most productivity systems never even ask it.This episode is the second in a series of solo livestreams I've been running, and it builds directly on last week's conversation about why busy isn't a badge — it's a blur. If busyness adds motion to the blur, intentional living is what clears it. What I'm walking through today is the operating system I use to do that: TimeCrafting. Not as a concept, but as something that actually runs your day-to-day life.Six Discussion PointsThe word "intentional" has been so overused it's nearly meaningless — and reclaiming its operational definition is the first step toward building a life that reflects what you actually value.Most people oscillate between the Ruthless Realm (all output, no alignment) and the Reckless Realm (all ideas, no follow-through) — and TimeCrafting is the path back to the Reasoned Realm, where choices are anchored rather than accidental.Reason isn't logic and it isn't emotion — it lives in the middle, and it's harder to sustain precisely because it offers less of the certainty that binary thinking provides.Daily themes aren't a rigid schedule — they're a gravitational pull, a lens you apply to your day rather than a rule you enforce on it, and a theme day that honors 70% still builds the cadence that intentional living depends on.The most clarifying question you can ask at any decision point is: "Am I acting from intention or inertia?" — and the answer often reveals whether you're building momentum or simply filling time with motion.TimeCrafting isn't just for work — the most durable themes are universal ones (connection, attunement, exploration, stewardship) that apply equally to your personal and professional life, which means you don't have to shift modes when you leave your desk.Three Connection PointsCheck out the YouTube channelThe Productivity Diet — goes deeper into mindset, method, and mastery across the TimeCrafting approachPrevious episode in this series: Busy Isn't a Badge — It's a Blur — the setup for everything covered hereIntentional living isn't something you install once and leave running in the background. It's something you return to — like a rhythm, like a practice. The question isn't whether you're productive. It's whether you're willing yourself toward the right things. That distinction is where TimeCrafting lives. And if this episode gave you even one question worth sitting with — whether it's "what day is it?" or "am I acting from intention or inertia?" — then it's already doing its job.

This episode is brought to you by Your Clockwise Week—a personalized weekly structure built around your actual life, not an ideal one. If your week feels full but not fitting, you can learn more at mikevardy.com/yourclockwiseweek.We've built entire systems around moving faster — faster responses, faster workflows, faster outputs. But speed isn't something you pursue. It's something that shows up when you've built something worth moving through quickly. That distinction came up early in this conversation and stayed with me long after we stopped recording. If you've ever felt like you were moving fast but not actually going anywhere, this episode is for you.Dawna Ballard is a professor of organizational communication at the University of Texas at Austin, where she specializes in chronemics — the study of time as it relates to human communication. Her book, Time by Design: How Communicating Slow Allows Us to Go Fast, draws on decades of field research across medical settings, child advocacy networks, and organizations of all kinds to make a case that's both counterintuitive and deeply practical: slowing down your communication is often the fastest thing you can do.Six Discussion PointsThe distinction between time — the clocks, calendars, meetings, and appointments we design — and temporality — the natural rhythm of relationships, sleep, learning, and meaningful conversation — isn't just semantic. It's the lens through which everything else about productivity either clarifies or collapses.The Children's Advocacy Centers case study is one of the most compelling real-world arguments for slow design: agencies handling urgent child abuse cases discovered that pausing for regular 90-minute monthly meetings didn't cost them time — it gave them speed, trust, and accuracy across the entire system.The obsession with efficiency didn't emerge from wisdom. It came from factory capitalism, Frederick Taylor's time-and-motion studies, and the industrialist impulse to extract skill from workers and standardize it. For knowledge work, creative work, or relational work, it's simply the wrong operating system.Speed activates the nervous system the same way physical threats once did. When we treat every delay as a danger — a long line, a slow inbox, a stalled meeting — we stay in low-grade fight-or-flight. And that's not a state in which anyone does their best work.The return-to-office push isn't really a productivity argument. At its core, it's a trust issue dressed in the language of culture — and forcing people into physical spaces doesn't resolve the underlying misalignment between what organizations measure and what actually produces quality work.AI is most useful when it handles the quantity tasks — summarizing, simplifying, organizing — so that humans can stay focused on the quality work that requires genuine thought, relationship, and judgment. The key is knowing which is which.Three Connection PointsTime by Design — Published by MIT Press, available wherever books are sold, including Kindle/Amazon. This is the kind of book you sit with, not sprint through.Time Thieves documentary — Explores the Greek concepts of Kronos and Kairos through case studies from Japan, Germany, Italy, and the UK. A rare look at how different cultures experience the collision of time and temporality.Are You Polychronic or Monochronic? — CBC Radio / The Current — This is the piece that put Dawna on my radar. It introduces her research on "time personalities" — the idea that chronic lateness or rigid punctuality often isn't a character flaw but a reflection of how someone is wired to experience time. A good entry point before diving into the book.Dawna references a phrase the Navy SEALs use: slow is smooth, and smooth is fast. She reaches for it deliberately. It isn't a rejection of speed — it's a reframe of how you earn it. If you've been treating speed as the destination rather than the evidence that something deeper is working, this conversation is worth more than one listen. And if you want to keep thinking about what it means to stop doing productive and start being productive, that's exactly what we'll keep exploring here.Until next time, remember: stop doing productive, start being productive. See you later. If this episode resonated, I'm exploring ideas like these more deeply in my upcoming book, Productiveness. You can follow along as it takes shape at mikevardy.com/productiveness.

This is Season 3, Episode 5, and Patrick has just returned from a trip to Greece with his family — a trip built around anniversary celebrations, Mamma Mia filming locations, and the kind of serendipitous moments that only happen when you're open enough to notice them. It was a perfect setup for the conversation that followed.Because the thread running through everything we talked about — travel, family dynamics, technological change, self-judgment, and the way small kindnesses move through the world — turned out to be the same one: grace. Grace is also one of the principles at the heart of my upcoming book, Productiveness, which made this one feel especially fitting to sit with. If you've been wondering what that book is actually about, this episode gives you a meaningful glimpse.Six Discussion Points:Grace starts with goodwill — not as a feeling, but as a practice. We dig into what it actually means to operate with grace day to day, and why it takes more intention than most people give it credit for.Travel is one of the best teachers of grace around. From adjusting to late dinner culture in Greece and Portugal to ordering a chicken by pointing at the ones still running around a yard in the Philippines, travel asks you to meet the unfamiliar with openness rather than resistance.Balancing everyone's needs on Patrick's Greece trip required grace in a very real, logistical way — from his daughter's Mamma Mia pilgrimage to his and his wife's 20th anniversary. The fact that everyone left feeling like the trip was complete says a lot about how that went.I share a real-time example of reacting instead of responding — a strongly-worded email, a refund request, and some after-the-fact digging that made me feel briefly foolish before I decided to give myself some grace about the whole thing.We get into grace and cancel culture, and the difference between holding someone accountable and refusing them any room to grow or change. It is okay to change your mind. In fact, it might be one of the most graceful things a person can do.Small acts of grace echo further than you think. Patrick's daughter writing thoughtful notes to the colleges she's declining. Paying for a stranger's coffee without mentioning it. You don't know what someone is carrying, which is exactly why grace doesn't need full information to operate.Three Connection PointsPatrick Rhone's website — the best place to start to find everything Patrick has going on.Productiveness — my upcoming book, where grace appears as one of its core principles.New to the show? I've been putting out solo episodes of A Productive Conversation as well — here's one right here. You can also find them in your podcast app of choice.Patrick and I covered a lot of ground this month, and I think that's because grace is one of those ideas that shows up everywhere once you start looking for it. Whether you're navigating a foreign dinner schedule, giving someone the benefit of the doubt, or just deciding not to beat yourself up over a to-do list that didn't get finished — grace is the practice underneath all of it. We'll be back next month for another round of PM Talks, and in the meantime, I hope this one gives you something worth sitting with.

We're burned out because we're doing too much of the wrong things — on autopilot, running inherited scripts, and mistaking busyness for meaning. The distinction between a routine and a ritual sounds small. It isn't. One checks a box. The other changes who you are.Erin Coupe spent 25 years in the corporate world before she recognized that her carefully structured life had become a kind of comfortable numbness. Her book, I Can Fit That In: How Rituals Transform Your Life, begins with a provocation right on the cover — the word “routines” is crossed out and replaced with “rituals.” That single strikethrough tells you everything about what this conversation is about. We dig into why rituals and routines are not the same thing, how autopilot living quietly erodes the quality of your days, and what it actually means to steward your energy rather than manage your time.Six Discussion PointsRituals vs. routines is not a semantic debate: Routines are repetitious rhythms you follow; rituals are repetitious rhythms you choose, because you know they'll give something back to you. That distinction changes how you relate to your own schedule.Autopilot living is often comfortable enough to go undetected: The threshold between comfort and complacency is razor-thin, and Erin traces her own awakening to the moment she realized she wasn't unhappy, she was simply numb.Inherited scripts are the hidden architecture of a life unlived: The beliefs instilled by family systems, school, and corporate culture don't expire on their own; they require deliberate questioning before they'll release their grip.Energy stewardship, not time management, is the real leverage point: Asking “do I have time for this?” keeps you trapped; asking “is this worth fitting in?” puts intention back in the driver's seat.Intentional pauses are not passive — they are productive: Silence and stillness feel counterintuitive to high performers, but they are precisely where self-awareness gets built and better decisions get made.The luna moth is more than a book cover image: It carries a message: the caterpillar's insatiable appetite mirrors our culture of endless striving, and the moth's transformation is an invitation to live fully now, not at 65.Three Connection PointsErin's websiteErin's bookErin's podcastRituals don't require more time. They require more intention. What Erin Coupe is pointing at — and what this conversation keeps circling back to — is that the quality of your life is shaped less by your calendar and more by your relationship with yourself inside that calendar. The pause isn't wasted time. It's where the transformation starts. If this episode landed for you, spend some time with the question Erin puts front and center: not “do I have time for this?” but “is it worth fitting in?”If this episode resonated, I'm exploring ideas like these more deeply in my upcoming book, Productiveness.

But what if that instinct, that constant push to optimize, is actually pulling us away from something more essential?In this PM Talks episode, Patrick Rhone and I explore what it means to be human in a world that increasingly treats us like machines. From travel and perspective to curiosity, ego, and even the power of doing nothing, this conversation leans into something deeper than productivity—it leans into presence.Six Discussion Points The instinct to “fix” everything can distance us from our humanity  Travel expands perspective by shifting us from transactional thinking to relational awareness  Much of what feels urgent today will be forgotten—humanness lives beyond immediacy  Curiosity is a distinctly human force that leads to better questions, not just better answers  Not every problem requires intervention—sometimes the most human response is restraint  Letting go of the need to be right (or have the last word) is a quiet but powerful act of maturityThree Connection PointsProductivenessYour Human-Size LifeShifting Vocabulary: How Changing Our Words Changes Our Work (ft. APC Episode 637 w/ Erik Fisher)If there's a thread running through this conversation, it's this: being human isn't about doing more—it's about knowing when to step back. When we loosen our grip on control, we create space for curiosity, perspective, and even wonder. And in that space, we don't just get more done—we begin to understand what's worth doing at all.If this episode resonated, I'm exploring ideas like these more deeply in my upcoming book, Productiveness.

If your week feels full but not fitting, you can learn more at mikevardy.com/yourclockwiseweek.Most of us have been taught that trying is virtuous — that saying "I'll try" signals good intentions and a willingness to show up. But what if trying is actually a way of opting out? What if it's the most socially acceptable excuse we've built into our language — a built-in escape hatch dressed up as effort? That's the question that sits at the center of this conversation, and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since we recorded.Carla Ondrasik spent twenty years in the competitive world of music publishing — a world where trying, in her words, means dying. She's worked with artists at the highest levels of the industry, and she's spent the last two decades studying the psychology and neuroscience behind why we say we'll try and what it actually costs us. Her book, Stop Trying: The Life Transforming Power of Trying Less and Doing More, is one of those rare reads that reframes something so ordinary and so deeply ingrained that you can't un-see it once it's been named. I know, because she caught me using the word in the middle of our conversation — while talking about her book. That's how deep this goes.Six Discussion PointsTrying is a mental activity, not a physical one. Carla makes a simple but devastating distinction: doing is a strong, determined action; trying is the loop you run in your head while the thing stays undone. The "try test" she walks through in the episode makes this viscerally clear in about thirty seconds.We use "try" to avoid accountability — and to avoid saying no. The word opens a door for excuses and blame before anything has even been attempted. Carla unpacks how trying functions as a social shield, letting us appear committed while quietly reserving the right to bail.Talking about what you're trying to do tricks your brain into feeling like you're doing it. The dopamine, serotonin, and adrenaline hits from announcing your intentions are real — and they're why so many people are still "trying to write a book" five years later. Talking about it is stealing the reward your brain should only get from finishing it.Saying "no" clearly is kinder than saying "I'll try." People pleasing drives a huge portion of our try behavior, and it's one of the most corrosive patterns Carla covers. An honest no respects everyone's time and attention — including your own. The other person stops saving you a seat. You stop dreading the follow-up.Silence protects the doing. Carla wrote her entire book without telling most people. The reason is strategic, not secretive: outside opinions — even well-meaning ones — introduce doubt, friction, and the need to justify the work before it's done. Protecting your goals with silence is a way of keeping all the energy pointed in one direction.A no-try life starts small. Awareness comes first, then one small completion — the junk drawer, the bag of clothes you meant to donate. The neurochemical reward from finishing even a tiny thing creates the momentum to do the next one. This is how the pattern breaks.Three Connection PointsCarla's book and resources: stop-trying.com — including where to find the book in print, digital, and audio formats.Carla on Instagram: @carlaondrasik — she posts daily reminders and real-world examples of the try/do distinction.Related reading on intentional action: Stop Doing Productive and Start Being Productive — if the distinction between trying and doing resonates, the idea of moving from doing productive to being productive goes even deeper here.The shift Carla is describing isn't just semantic — it's a structural change in how you relate to your own intentions. When you stop using "try" as a buffer between yourself and commitment, something has to fill that space: a real decision, in either direction. Do it or don't. Both are more honest than the middle ground most of us live in. If this conversation landed, I'd encourage you to sit with it before moving on. And if you've got someone in your life who lives in try mode — consider what one honest conversation might make possible.If this episode resonated, I'm exploring ideas like these more deeply in my upcoming book, Productiveness.

But in this conversation, it becomes clear that it shows up just as often in the things we do want to do—the work that matters most.That's what made this discussion with Jon Acuff so compelling. Jon's latest book, Procrastination Proof, doesn't treat procrastination as a flaw to fix but as a pattern to understand—and ultimately, to work with rather than against.Six Discussion PointsProcrastination isn't a laziness issue—it's a pattern driven by time, task, fear, history, and ego Permission can unlock progress more effectively than pressure or disciplineSmaller actions reduce friction and make consistency sustainable rather than forcedReview is the most overlooked multiplier—it reveals truth, direction, and better decisionsPlanning is where optimism meets realism—and most people get stuck between the twoAlignment between “night you” and “morning you” turns intention into action without resistanceThree Connection PointsGet Procrastination ProofJon's previous appearance on APCJoin the community to gain access to The Procrastination Course (and more)What stood out most in this conversation is that procrastination isn't something you defeat once—it's something you learn to navigate. When you shift from forcing action to understanding patterns, the work changes. And more importantly, your relationship with the work changes. That's where real progress begins.If this episode resonated, I'm exploring ideas like these more deeply in my upcoming book, Productiveness.

The inbox fills, the interruptions stack, and before long, the day is no longer ours—it's everyone else's.In this conversation, I sit down with Rich Czyz, author of Autopilot: Practical Productivity for School Leaders, to explore how systems—not willpower—can help us reclaim that sense of direction. While his work is rooted in education, what we discuss applies far beyond school walls. This is about shifting from firefighting to forward thinking.Six Discussion PointsProductivity isn't about doing more—it's about reclaiming space for what actually mattersThe inbox is often just a collection of other people's priorities unless you set boundaries around itSystems work best when they are simple enough to start immediately and flexible enough to evolveBatching and theming aren't constraints—they're ways to restore focus in fragmented environmentsDelegation requires letting go of control, not just tasksElimination—not optimization—is often the most powerful first move toward meaningful workThree Connection PointsAutopilot: Practical Productivity for School LeadersFour O'Clock FacultyThe Practice of ProductivenessIf there's a throughline in this conversation, it's this: the goal isn't to perfect your system—it's to make space for what matters most.

This episode is the first installment of Season 3 in our monthly PM Talks series, where Patrick Rhone and I slow things down to explore the ideas that quietly shape how we live and work. This time, we start with an act of honesty right out of the gate—being transparent about when the episode was recorded—and let that openness set the tone for everything that follows.From there, the conversation unfolds into something deeper. We talk about honesty not as a moral stance, but as a practical one—especially when it comes to time, commitments, and the stories we tell ourselves about why things don't happen. January has a way of inviting big intentions, and this discussion is a timely reminder that clarity begins with truth.Six Discussion PointsWhy the hardest lies to spot are the ones we tell ourselvesThe difference between urgency and immediacy—and why it matters“I don't have time” as a story, not a factHow calendars can act as commitments, not constraintsHonesty about capacity, energy, and personal rhythmsWhy knowing who you are (and aren't) changes everythingThree Connection PointsPatrick's websiteThe Year Compass (mentioned as a reflection tool)Mike's upcoming book, Productiveness.Honesty isn't about being harsher with ourselves—it's about being clearer. This conversation is an invitation to pause, notice, and tell better stories about what we can actually do with the time and energy we have.

Join us for a conversation about how your can use ClickUp not just as a productivity tool, but as a central hub for collecting feedback, refining offers, and staying aligned with his audience's needs. He also explored how leaders can optimize their energy and attention to work smarter, not harder—breaking down big tasks and designing their day around natural rhythms. Systematizing feedback and aligning it with your energy cycles can create a powerful engine for innovation and consistency. You'll want to grab a cup of coffee or tea and enjoy this episode. 1. Leveraging ClickUp for feedback and productivity Mike discussed how he has been using ClickUp to streamline his business operations, particularly in gathering feedback from his community and audience. He explained how ClickUp's forms and project management features allow him to centralize feedback, iterate quickly on offerings like his virtual retreats, and maintain focus by having everything in one place. Watch the 5-min Systems Segment on YouTube: 2. Harnessing energy and attention Mike talked about the importance of understanding and leveraging your energy levels to be more productive. He explained how breaking down big tasks into smaller, low-energy actions can help you make progress even when you don't have a lot of motivation. Mike also discussed the concept of "attention paths" - looking at your to-do list through the lens of factors like time, resources, energy, activity type, and theme. 3. Developing principles and values Mike emphasized the need to have principles in place that help you live up to your core values. He provided the example of being a night owl but also needing to show up early for workshops to serve his community. Mike suggested that principles act as scaffolding between your values and actions, allowing you to navigate tradeoffs and stay true to what's most important. 4. Recap and next steps Mike shared information about where listeners can find his book "The Productivity Diet" and mentioned that he is working on a follow-up book called "Productiveness" that will focus more on the principles of being productive. He also discussed his plans to continue marketing "The Productivity Diet" this year and potentially release "Productiveness" in early 2024.

In a world obsessed with constant productivity, many of us feel pressured to do more and more, often at the expense of our well-being and personal fulfillment. This relentless pursuit can lead us to overlook the deeper, more meaningful aspects of how we spend our time.This week, I'm thrilled to welcome productivity expert, author, and creator of the TimeCrafting system, Mike Vardy. Mike has spent years helping people shift their focus from traditional productivity to something deeper—what he calls “productiveness.” Through his work, he shows us how to approach time with greater intention, crafting a life that aligns with our values and energy cycles.In this episode, Mike shares his journey from traditional concepts of productivity to his refined philosophy of time crafting. We explore how theming our days, reflecting on our habits, and embracing constraints can help us cultivate productiveness—a state that balances intention, quality, and flow.Join us as we dive into the deeper layers of productiveness and learn how to move beyond conventional productivity systems to foster a more intentional, fulfilling way of working and living.Topics CoveredThe shift from productivity to productiveness and why it matters.Mike's TimeCrafting system and how it helps theme our days.The importance of aligning work with life's seasons and personal energy.How constraints can foster creativity and intentionality.The difference between rigid productivity and flexible productiveness.The role of reflection in managing time and making better decisions.The evolving relationship between time, work, and personal growth.Strategies for building a healthier, more intentional relationship with time.How to balance quality and quantity in our daily tasks.Moving from task-based productivity to meaningful productiveness.TranscriptYou can find the transcript on the episode's web page by clicking here.Mike's Bio & ResourcesMike Vardy is a seasoned productivity expert, author, and coach dedicated to helping individuals and organizations achieve their fullest potential.

Do you ever feel like there are not enough minutes in the day to get all the things done? Or lament that you're not using your time productively? Well, what if your fixation on productivity was actually unproductive?! I'm fairly certain it is! In today's episode, I reflect on a heart-stopping quote from Carl Sagan that makes our secret desire to win a productivity ribbon each day seem pretty darn absurd. So, if you struggle with time management, this episode is for you. We'll explore the liberating idea that there is, in fact, no universal “Good Use of Time Scale.” You are the only person who can determine what is and is not a good use of your time. But with this freedom come responsibility. You must define the parameters of valuable time use by getting clear on your goals and your values. And, of course, there is an eye-opening lab work exercise to help you look objectively at how you are spending your time right now. Remember, your time is not to be managed; it's meant to be lived. So, let's put the “own up” in grown up and start creating deliberate, self-authored days.

June 13, 2021, 11th Sunday of Ordinary Time Theme: “Living in Christ: Manifesting Productiveness” Homily by Fr. Erel Villanueva First Reading: Ezekiel 17 : 22 …

On this week’s episode, I share with you how to avoid the multitasking overload! On a day to day basis we all deal with having to do multiple things to do at once. But how do we deal with having too many tasks at once? At what point is it just too much?  Throughout this episode I will help you and explain what are the effects of OVERLOADING your multitasking list and how you can become more efficient and AVOID the overload! There are three main points you should always remember … EFFICIENCY, EFFECTIVENESS, and PRODUCTIVENESS. When I am efficient, I am effective, and when I am effective … I PRODUCE!  It is important to know who you really are and to be aware of the SIGNS  that you're overloading your work. Are you feeling fatigued? Are you paying less attention? Do you find yourself producing work that is not good quality because you are just trying to get it done? Know the limits of your brain and understand peak performance!

Robert and Amy talk about The Value of Vacations, as well as The Fountainhead, Yaron Brook, Bonnie & Clyde, and New Orleans, Louisiana.

It incapacitates you by making you unable to deal with changes — it took me 2 days to shift my schedule around so that I could have enough time last night to prepare for deep sleep.But all it took was a text message to send my mental state into anxiety, worry, depression, all at once. I laid in bed wide awake for 5 hours and towards the end, thought about how productive I could have been, if I hadn't spent all this time lying on the bed.When you don't get enough sleep, you are never fully present in the moment. Tiredness looms over your whole presence. Productiveness decreases. You turn up late, or you miss meetings in the morning because that's the time when you start to fall asleep.You feel hopeless, worthless, and cancel on anything that makes you anxious。The emotional detriments of insomnia is an endless cycle of guilt, tiredness and hopelessness.Wanting to sleep is seen as lazy. Not sleeping earlier is seen as a mismanagement of time.They give advice on scented candles, and classical music, not knowing that you've tried even alcohol in desperation.You thank them for their good will, while they walk away wondering why you're too stubborn to take their advice. They shake their heads at you.But insomnia is not just insomnia. Insomnia is often a symptom of something larger that should be solved. Insomnia is a symptom that aggravates the already aggravated situation.“ Are you going to sleep soon? ““ I try.”
