But I also think, like, don't get discouraged when you find yourself noodling in on the goal and the deadline gets moved, it doesn't mean you failed, right? Lesley Logan 0:13 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 0:56 Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It interview recap where my co-host in life, Brad, and I are going to dig into the inspirational convo I had with Jose Acevedo. I wanted to say, like defining convo, or the journey, a discovery, because, I mean, like that, he's the host of Finding Arizona, and that kind of just makes sense. But anyways, he's so fabulous, and it was such a fun conversation. You were on it? Yeah. We had a great time. Brad Crowell 1:20 No, no, I was on his. Lesley Logan 1:21 Oh, you were on. I was like, how are you recapping? You were there, but anyways, you were on his with me. Got it. I'm here, you guys. I, we had a really good time. So you want to listen to that episode and also listen to episode Brad and I were on with Finding Arizona, but. Brad Crowell 1:37 Which was his episode 435. Why do I know that? Great question, but I do.Lesley Logan 1:43 Wow. That is, I don't know, like 435. So you guys, before we get into Jose's amazingness. Today is April 17th 2025 and it's the International Day of Mastering Conversations That Matter. Okay. Brad Crowell 1:55 That's what it is. Lesley Logan 1:56 Let's all learn this together, folks. International Day of Mastering Conversations That Matter is on April 17th, I just said that, but it's okay. Important conversations are the reason why humanity stands where it is today. The ability to communicate is what separates us from all other species in the world. The advancements in medical science and technology testify to what humans are capable of. All these achievements can be traced back to an idea, an idea that was shared, discussed and debated. Important conversations have helped build empires from scratch, and the lack of them has resulted in their fall. Not just empires, but relationships tend to break apart with poor communication. It is important for the survival of the human race to constantly share ideas and bridge gaps. It is important to learn and discuss things in the past so that we have a better tomorrow. Well.Brad Crowell 2:39 So, I couldn't agree more. International Day of Mastering Conversations That Matter. Lesley Logan 2:44 I know but we, you know what? Whoever invented this day, you better go buy a platform so that the other ideas people might want to control actually can come to the top of an algorithm. That's all I'm going to say about that. Brad Crowell 2:57 No, I'm not. I'm going to say a whole lot more. So I'm frustrated that we stop sharing information as a country, especially when it comes to health and medical research. I'm frustrated that. Lesley Logan 3:08 I was gonna say that our country has done a really good job sharing things they shouldn't share, so. Brad Crowell 3:12 Right. They're fucking texting war plans to reporters, but they're not willing to share information among hospitals so that they can make the right flu vaccine. It's mind blowing to me. And the reality is that when we stop sharing medical information with the rest of the world with an isolationist policy, we are putting ourselves at risk, because the next pandemic, we might not have any forewarning, because since we're not sharing information with them, they're certainly not going to share information with us. Lesley Logan 3:38 People have already just said they, you can't share with us anymore, because you can't trust that we'll do the right thing with it.Brad Crowell 3:43 Well, that's with spy stuff, but like, healthcare stuff, don't we want to know if there's something coming? Don't we want to know these things? And I think that when we wall ourselves off, when we think that we're better than the rest of the world and that we're going to be better off by pretending the rest of the world doesn't exist, we're deluding ourselves. Lesley Logan 3:58 Yeah, I think every Be It listener is like nodding along. I mean, I don't think you listen to this podcast if you think people should be deported who are just here living. Anyway. Brad Crowell 4:07 Well, so, so honestly, how do we fix this? Like, how do we. Lesley Logan 4:10 Okay, do we have steps? Brad Crowell 4:12 Yeah, we do. And the reality is, if you're in the United States with us, we live in a representative republic. We call it democracy. But the reality is, we don't get to vote every day, you and I as normal citizens, we voted for someone to go to the Congress for us, to represent us, to vote for us. And they vote all the time. They vote on things all the time on our behalf, right? And the only way that we have any power right now between the election cycles where we vote those people in or out, such as the president of the United States, or our congressperson or house of representatives person, the only way that we have power today is to call them and to make sure they know what we think. Right? It's the only power that we have until the elections come back around. And that's the best possible thing that you can do, is to make it known to the people who represent us what we care about, right? The more of us that call and contact our reps, the better, because the reality is that.Lesley Logan 5:07 Whether you voted for them or not, they work for you. Brad Crowell 5:10 That's right, whether you voted for them or not, they work for you, and especially if you're in their district or their region, right? If you're in their state, if they're the senator, then they represent the whole state. The house also represents the whole state, but local, there's local governments as well. Lesley Logan 5:22 But you, just because you didn't, if you were like, I think my person's an asshole, you should still be a nail in their, thorn on their side, a thorn on their side, a nail and a thorn on their side the same time. Also, you guys, go to city council meetings like a handful of assholes go, and you can be there to be the person. So I also wanted to say. Brad Crowell 5:39 That's more local, but yes, absolutely. Lesley Logan 5:41 I'm getting this woman on the pod. Just don't you worry, I'm so fucking, I'm a fan girl and a fan girl. She's so smart. I'm not lesbian, but this girl is so smart, if I was, I'd want to learn from her every day. Anyways, her podcast is called Unlearn16: Class is in Session. Her wife, she's got a wife, but I'm not trying to get in on this. But I was listening to her. Lesley Logan 5:59 I don't think any of us were assuming that. Okay. Lesley Logan 6:01 I was listening to her podcast, because it came up and I was like, okay, class is in session. That's how it goes. I was and I would listen to it, and I was like, oh, I kind of know about democracy stuff. No, you guys, you guys. She lays out what is a democracy. She explains it for Canada and the U.S., and she explains what are the pillars that create one? What has to be in there? To me, going on a conversation that matter, I think you have to actually know what a true democracy is, to actually have a conversation with someone who's trying to take things away. And so her episode that came out today, not today, when you're listening, a month ago, but though it's called The One Where I Make Democracy Behind the Scenes. I love her titles. They're all like that. So it's Unlearned16: Class is in Session, fuck yeah, The One Where I Make Democracy Behind the Scenes, I learned a ton, and she's a Canadian High School teacher, so clearly my teachers didn't do great job. But that's okay. I think it goes with the topic. Okay. Brad Crowell 6:53 All right, moving on. Lesley Logan 6:54 Go have a conversation that matters. Brad Crowell 6:55 Thank you for listening. I'm gonna get off my soapbox here. Here's what we've got coming up on our travel schedule. Lesley Logan 7:02 Right now. Brad Crowell 7:03 You're currently, Lesley is currently gone from our house. She's recording from the stars. Lesley Logan 7:08 I know, I'm like living it up in Santa Barbara.Brad Crowell 7:11 She's in Santa Barbara, y'all.Lesley Logan 7:11 I'm at the beach. I'm filming for Pilates Anytime again. Thank you to everyone at Pilates Anytime who loves my stuff. We got a bunch of classes coming at you. I'm really excited for what we have with Pilates Anytime. And when I come back a few days later and it's spring training.Brad Crowell 7:25 Well, yes, if you are in the U. K. or in the E.U., Lesley and I are coming in September, and we want to make sure you know about it. So go to opc.me/uk, opbc.me/uk, we're going to be teaching in the UK. It's just a short flight for those of you who are across the pond there. I mean, the channel, really. Lesley Logan 7:44 Which pond? Brad Crowell 7:45 Yeah, the channel. Lesley Logan 7:46 You know, people on the East Coast to (inaudible) that is the pond. And also, it is so easy for you. We're doing double.Brad Crowell 7:54 Yeah, six hours, but anyway, y'all should come join us. We don't get there very often, and we're really fired up to be coming back. We're going to be in Leeds and in Essex, and it's gonna be awesome. So come join us on the Mullet Tour, opc.me/uk, and then at the end of this month, Spring Training. That's OPC's Spring Training. It's our first ever annual event for Spring Training. And what is Spring Training?Lesley Logan 8:17 So, Spring Training is kind of like how baseball has a couple weeks of playing each other, and it doesn't really matter. So. Brad Crowell 8:23 Preseason, baby. Lesley Logan 8:24 Preseason. So this is like a Pilates week of spring training. And the theme this week for this one is The Push-Up. And so we're planking, and we're talking about it, but all the classes are going to be around building up your push-up, which, by the way, Joe put at the end of the mat order. So,why? You could stand up and walk away from your practice and be really awesome and top. So it's really cool. Everything's going to lead gonna lead to that. You don't have to be a Pilates enthusiast to even join us. There's a mat ticket, so meaning you just go to the mat classes, because that's all you have access to, is some room on your floor. And then there's an all access ticket, which gets you the 10 classes. And that will be mat, reformer, tower, Cadillac, chair. Obviously, if you only have a reformer or mat, you still want the all access that's gonna be at the six, the price is so cheap, you won't, you don't even need to worry that you don't have the other pieces of equipment. Brad Crowell 9:08 But here's what you do want. We're gonna make it even more reasonable if you're on the waitlist so that you can get that really bird discount. So go to opc.me/events, opc.me/events, come join us. It's gonna be a heck of a party. We're doing that this year instead of Summer Camp, okay? Lesley Logan 9:26 Because we're doing summer tours and winter tours, and we needed a different season. Brad Crowell 9:30 Yeah, we wanted a different season. So, if you are a Pilates business owner in any way, meaning you're taking money from anyone for any reason, whether that's in your home or in the park, or you have a studio. If you are the one that's actually taking the money from a client, you're technically a business owner. So come join us for a free webinar where we're gonna help support you with the growth of that business. We're gonna help you understand, how do I get more clients? How do I raise my rates? How does it all work? Like, how do we actually make this happen? This is for brand new people. It's also for people who've had like a studio for 20 years with a major team, because we kind of just stumble our way through this. There wasn't anybody guiding us. And Lesley and I have had the chance over the past seven years to stand alongside more than 2500 business owners, just like you, and go through the mud with them, try to figure out the problems that they're experiencing, problem clients or problem lease holders, or my insurance or my marketing is terrible. I don't have any people coming in. My phone stopped ringing. My website isn't bringing clients. All these kinds of things. We've had the opportunity to be there right alongside people in trenches, and from that, we've pulled three major secrets that we want to share with you. So come join me for this free webinar. Go to prfit.biz/accelerator. That's profit without the O dot B-I-Z slash accelerator. And finally.Lesley Logan 10:50 We're going to Cambodia in October, and we want you to come. Do not pass go. Just go straight to crowsnestretreats.com and snag your spot. Stay at our house, do Pilates with us, go see the temples of Ankor and all the other ones that are surrounding it that most people don't see. They fly all the way there and they don't see it. They just go on by. They don't even see it. We're gonna take you there. And we're gonna go to Lotus Farm and do all these different things.Brad Crowell 11:10 Actually, this upcoming one, y'all, we have a new temple that, that's not new for them, but a new one for Lesley and I. It's a new temple they built last week. Brad Crowell 11:19 New thousand-year-old temple. Brad Crowell 11:21 Lesley and I've never been to this temple, and I was, we were driving by it in our retreat earlier this year, and I asked our tour guide, like, hey, what's the story with this temple? How come we always skip it? And she said, we just run out of time. But let's make this a priority. So in October, this upcoming October, we're going to be adding one more temple to the list that Lesley and I haven't even visited. I'm very excited. I'm like, super, super excited about it. It's gonna be amazing. Go to crowsnestretreats.com crowsnestretreats.com and make your deposit today, right now, to save your spot, because space is limited. Lesley Logan 11:54 Okay, we gotta get into the interview with Jose, but before that, we have an audience question, don't we, Brad? Brad Crowell 11:59 Yes. Ilikecats123BB from YouTube asks, hey, do I need any equipment for the mat Pilates classes on OPC other than the mat?Lesley Logan 12:11 I love this question, because I think it's really easy to think, oh my God, I'm gonna have to have all these different things to get started in Pilates. Most of the props that someone could use in a Pilates mat class you can use from your house. So I even create it for the accessories deck. So technically, no, you can do mat Pilates without anything. Joe created it. So you just need you and your mat. And if you want to invest in your Pilates practice, like the mat is where I'm a, with the OPC episode that's coming out, everyone's like, I'm a mat rat. I'm like, okay, we need to come up with a different animal. I don't want to be a mat rat, but like, we were all like, I'm a mat rat. I only love the mat. So anyway, if that's who you are, you might want to invest eventually in a Contrology mat with handles and a strap, because it does change your practice, especially for the advanced exercises. But if you're never going overhead, you don't need to make that investment. So you technically don't need anything. However, one pound weights, a squishy ball, like a fitness ball, you let the air out of in a magic circle, and a heavy duty TheraBand, those things. Brad Crowell 13:08 How about a block? Lesley Logan 13:10 Ah, no, the squishy ball.Brad Crowell 13:12 Squishy ball instead of block. Lesley Logan 13:13 It's not yoga. Brad Crowell 13:14 Got it. Lesley Logan 13:14 Yeah. No. You use the squishy ball because you'd put the block between your ankles, and it's not gonna be as fun as a squishy ball. They just squish, it would be really great. So. Brad Crowell 13:21 But what if you don't have one pound weights? Lesley Logan 13:23 You can use water bottles. Brad Crowell 13:24 What? Fill it with water? Lesley Logan 13:26 And if you don't have.Brad Crowell 13:27 Or like beans? Lesley Logan 13:29 You can use beans, just make sure the same beans, you know, like. Brad Crowell 13:31 I got tomato in here, I got apple seeds in here. Lesley Logan 13:32 I had a client using two beers, you know, two cans of beers. And I was like, just put it back in the fridge after you're done. You're not gonna want to open those up. Brad Crowell 13:39 That's brilliant. Lesley Logan 13:39 Yeah, just make sure they're the same product, so that the weight of them is the same. But one pound is what we're going for. If you don't have a TheraBand, you can use an old pair of leggings. If you don't have a squishy ball, you can use a couch cushion or a dog's toy, kid's toy. Your kids probably have a ball that you could let some air out of. You know, a magic circle. That's the harder one. You kind of do have to buy that, but there's so many cheap ones now it's pretty easy to grab one of those. Brad Crowell 14:02 Yeah, totally. Well, awesome. Great question, Ilikecats. Lesley Logan 14:05 By the way, if you go to onlinepilatesclasses.com you can join OPC for 40 days for $40 and guess what? You can experience several weeks of mat classes of ours. You can ask questions. You can send in a video of you doing a mat exercise, and I'll give you feedback on your form.Brad Crowell 14:18 Okay, I just want to take a super quick pause, and I want to call this out. There is no other platform on the Internet where you can submit a specific video of you saying what am I doing here, am I doing it right, and get feedback from certified Pilates instructors. There's no other place online, okay? So OPC has something that is magical that not enough people take advantage of. So come join OPC, and then if you're struggling with an exercise, no problem. We are here to support you. We excludes me. I'm not a certified Pilates instructor. Lesley Logan 14:53 And I give you like other things that you can do. I'm like, oh, go grab this and go do it like this. And so you just have more homework. It's really like having a private session for nothing, you pay nothing. You just be a member.Brad Crowell 15:04 Well, stick around. We're gonna be right back. We're gonna dig into this fantastic convo we had with Jose Acevedo and Finding Arizona. BRB. Brad Crowell 15:13 All right, welcome back. Let's talk about Jose Acevedo. Jose is the host of finding Arizona, a podcast spotlighting entrepreneurs, creators and leaders, shaping Arizona's local landscape. Driven by a genuine love for connection and community, he provides guests with a welcoming platform to share their journeys in their own words. What began as a screen printing passion project ultimately drew Jose into podcasting where he found his true calling, giving people space to tell their stories. Today, he and his wife Britt run the show together, making Finding Arizona a thriving hub for inspiration and local voices. And funny enough, Lesley and I had the opportunity to be interviewed on that podcast, even though we don't live in Arizona, but we actually go to Arizona pretty regularly, a couple times a year, usually. That's where we got a chance to meet them. We were down there speaking at an event. Britt and Jose were also speaking at the same event, and we had a chance to just chit-chat with them off stage. And it was great. And that's how we connected with them. Yeah, Finding Arizona is cool because it's, it really grew organically. And I think. Lesley Logan 16:15 I also think what a great if you're just going to visit Arizona, what a great podcast to go listen to. You can go through the different, they have so many episodes, you can search through it. They're a wealth of knowledge of different local businesses and entrepreneurs and really supportive. And I think that's what makes you want to go to a place. It's like when you can know the insiders spaces to go, the coffee shops, the pizza restaurants, all that kind of stuff, like, who's doing what? Just think it's really, really impressive. I love that our conversation with Jose, I think he's, first of all, the nicest person. I think he might be the softest, but I don't mean soft like he doesn't have about, I just mean like, his energy is soft, his voice is soft, like, he's just endearing. I really enjoy him. So anyways, he talked about storytelling, and he said, like, what it can do for society and culture that has been on this earth for so long and has thrived just from hearing these stories and using that as a religion, and that kind of goes into the day that we're kind of celebrating right now, the conversations that matter, so, good job, Brad. And he talked a little bit about his grandfather, an elder in the Hopi community, so we're First Nation, and he got to, in like that community, from what I understand about people who are native, and like they're grandkids of a native, everyone talks about the storytelling, and they learn so much through storytelling. And so I think it's really cool that Jose learned that from his grandfather and from his culture and from his community, and then is using that for other people. So I really enjoyed, I really enjoyed him talking about the importance of storytelling and (inaudible).Brad Crowell 17:44 He talked about how it shapes religion and culture and society, and how he was really impacted by that. And then. Lesley Logan 17:51 I think that's like, one of the things that I wanted to even have him on is not just, let's talk about Finding Arizona, but how do you get into being this person and like that be it till you see it, and it's like, well, I'm starting with storytelling. I wanted to tell the stories. And I just think that that's like, you know, most of us are wondering, like, what we could do at this point, and you could, you could tell stories about experience that have happened in your life and the lives before you. And that's how we learn, and that's how we keep, that's how we keep repeating the past.Brad Crowell 18:14 Yeah, it's how we remember the past too. I mean, it's how you do everything all the way up to sell. It's how you sell these stories. You know, people are captivated by stories. It's why the movie industry is so powerful and big and huge, and podcasts are, you know, like even happening, right? It's all about storytelling. It's fun to see that his excitement for storytelling shaped who he's become today and what he does today. So I really loved where you started talking about fatherhood. He said fatherhood has changed a lot about how I see the world, how I perceive the world, how I go about the world. He said becoming a father shifted his entire perspective on life and his purpose. He wants his son to grow up seeing a world filled with opportunity, with kindness and meaningful conversations. And he shared a story where he said podcasting has affected his family in the perception of even his son is now like, are you gonna go have a conversation? Are you gonna go have a podcast now? You know, and his son's like, three, and so it's helping him share this concept of storytelling with his son, and his son gets to see how much his dad loves to do this and all this kind of stuff. And Jose's approach to work and life has been influenced by this idea of setting a positive example, right? Because now he's intentionally meeting people he doesn't know. He's asking questions, he's being curious, he's demonstrating all these things. Rather than chasing success for personal gain, he sees his work as a way to build a legacy for his son, and he said he wanted him to know that there are good people out there and there's a community that will back him. Lesley Logan 19:47 I mean, we've talked about this before with other women on this show, like we talked about it with Kristen, the episode, I think 500, 501 it's so good for your kids to see you in the world doing the thing that you love, because it lets them know what's possible, but also, like, they do learn from it, they do pick it up, right? Amy Ledine said in her episode five, actions are caught not taught, and so I think it's just really cool. I love that he picked that up and he shared that with everyone. Brad Crowell 20:13 Yeah, well, stick around. We'll be right back. We're gonna dig into Be It Action Items that Jose shared and very heartfelt, so we'll be right back. Brad Crowell 20:22 All right. So finally, let's talk about those Be It Action Items. What bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted action items can we take away from your convo with Jose Acevedo? He said t,ry your best to set a big goal, but also make sure that you're taking those routines that are going to help you achieve that big goal, right? Do small steps forward. Also, you have to allow yourself for your goal to shift over time and move, but along the way, you still have to be taking steps, right? Here's a good example. We set a goal to take our physical products and sell them in another country, right? And at first it was like, oh, we have this opportunity. We should do this right now. We gotta go, go, go, go, go, go, go. You know. And someone on our team was like, hey, wait a minute. We have a lot of other things going on. We probably could pull this off. However, what do we do with these other things? Should we be back burning them? And I was like, oh, wait, wait a minute, you know, is it really necessary for us to go, go, go, go, go right now with this thing, or can we delay that launch of that initiative in a time where the team can handle the workload, the marketing calendar is a little more open, we can have a better conversation about it with our customers, and so it still allows us to go after that big goal, but just in a different way. Lesley Logan 21:38 And also we can adjust the routines to make sure that that goal happens, and then talking about it, we actually got to explore like, well, is there another way to achieve this goal, to test the goal, to even experiment with it. So I love big, badass, bodacious goals. BHAGs. Brad Crowell 21:53 Forgot about those. Lesley Logan 21:54 Forgot about the episode number, but it's a great one. But I also think, like, don't get discouraged when you find yourself noodling in on the goal and the deadline gets moved, it doesn't mean you failed, right? It didn't mean it. So I love that. I love it. Jose mentioned a life responds to effort. He said, if you look back on the little steps you're taking, you'll actually see that you're providing yourself the opportunity to move forward. And so if you're not making an effort, you're not moving anywhere. You're kind of stagnant. But when you make little, tiny steps, even if, for this particular goal that Brad is talking about, some of the steps are like literally doing nothing for a couple of weeks, like a conversation. I'm having a conversation. But as long as we take those little steps, it's like peeling an onion back. We get to another layer of working towards that goal, very different than going, okay, well, I love this goal. It's gonna happen in September, and then not talking about it again for until August, that would be stagnation, and the goal isn't going to move forward in September because we didn't take the little steps along the way. So I really think that's really great. I think whenever I talk about habits, it's always like tiny habits works, and a lot of us are this all or nothing people. If I'm not doing everything toward making this goal happen, then I'm doing nothing. That's not how it goes. So, anyways. Brad Crowell 22:59 That's not how it goes. Lesley Logan 23:00 I'm Lesley Logan. Brad Crowell 23:01 And I'm Brad Crowell. Lesley Logan 23:01 Thank you so much for listening today. Thank you, Jose, for being on our episode, our show.

Happy Monday! Today we're talking all about habits like what ones do we have, how they are established, some really interesting studies about habits and routines, and how you too can reprogram yourself to have productive habits. Brown University defines a habit as a repeated action that becomes an automatic behavior with little to no thought. Life Long Intentionality Setter As a child, I was in charge of my fun. I remember going to the stationary store and getting planners about three times a year. Anna pointed out the coincidence of Friday Workbox® Planning Day happening three times a year as well. I like to maximize my time. I get my planner out and fill in the tasks that need to be accomplished and then I start thinking about what I want my routines to be. I intentionally set routines to include somethings I'd like to end up as a habit with the understanding these things will make me more productive and achieve my goals. I feel like a person can successfully add a new habit each Planning Day. On average it takes a person 66 days to establish a new habit. Effortless Self Control Habits are stronger than your beliefs. You may believe fruits and vegetables are better for you. However if you habitually eat cookies…that habit will likely continue unless you make environmental changes. Remove the cookie jar and put healthy food in its place. Now when you habitually visit where the cookie jar was you will grab a piece of fruit. And with our habits we have lower emotional reactions. We talked about a study where students' habits were questioned. They determined 43% of their day was habitual. Your emotional response to waking up early on daily is reduced when you have done it for a long time. And once you decide to clean your kitchen, the routine is habitual and you can sing along to music or think about something else because you have a routine to how you clean your kitchen. Context Clues also support effortless self control. If you have a habit of putting on your deodorant after you brush your teeth, your toothbrush is the clue. But let's say on vacation you have all your toiletries in a bag. You brush your teeth but because your deodorant isn't in plain sight, you go sight seeing and remember you forgot to put on deodorant. Prospective Memory This is the theory I'm thinking I will do my dissertation about. It's something you are reminded you need to do but in the future. Say you are talking to someone about the grocery store and that reminds you that you need to pick up a card for a wedding next time you are there. It's like you are trying to remember things for the future. They are related to a location or a time. You could be reminded about the card by time as in the wedding is a 5pm and you need the card by then. Are You Maxed Out on Habits? A person can only do so much everyday, even the amount of habits they have. Are you programmed correctly? Planning Day, with Organize 365®, really helps you to analyze your time and look at what you are currently doing. You may see some changes you need to make and then plan how you will do it . To do lists and diaries have been found to be inefficient because there's no place for holding things like a card for an upcoming wedding or ideas you are simmering on. When you write one task on an index card and throw it in your Sunday Basket®, you are able to categorize, make a plan of completing those tasks, and delay decision making until necessary. I hope you can join us May 3rd for Home Planning Day or June 6th for Friday Workbox® Planning day to get productive habits in place so you have more cognitive space for other areas of your life.

What You'll Learn in This Episode Why daily routines are non-negotiable for high-performing leaders. 15 practical habits to boost productivity, creativity, and emotional resilience. How to leverage “found time” (like waiting in line) for growth. Science-backed benefits of habits like cold showers, gratitude, and morning sunlight. Tactical ways to prioritize tasks and avoid reactive firefighting. How to end your day for better sleep and tomorrow's success. The 15 Daily Routines for Conscious Leaders Leverage Idle Moments with On-the-Go Reading What: Use Kindle or Apple Books to read during downtime (e.g., waiting in line). Why: CEOs read ~50–60 books/year. Micro-reading turns idle minutes into learning. Pro Tip: Keep a leadership or psychology book queued for quick bursts. Impact: Enriches knowledge, boosts patience, and leverages “found” time. Walk and Learn with Podcast-Powered Walks What: Take 15–60-minute walks while listening to educational podcasts. Why: Walking boosts creativity by up to 60% (Stanford study). Pairs movement with learning. Pro Tip: Use Apple Notes to record ideas sparked during walks. Impact: Energizes body, sparks ideas, and taps ancestral storytelling habits. Handwritten Clarity with a Moleskine To-Do List What: Jot daily priorities in a quality journal each morning. Why: Handwriting engages the brain, improves memory, and boosts focus. Checking tasks releases dopamine. Pro Tip: Invest in a journal and pen you love to make it a ritual. Impact: Frees mental space for execution, grounds your day in clarity. Hot/Cold Shower Ritual for an Energy Boost What: Start showers warm, end with 30–60 seconds of cold. Why: Cold exposure increases adrenaline, alertness, and resilience. Pro Tip: Work up to longer cold bursts (start at 10 seconds). Impact: Resets energy, builds grit, and sharpens mental focus. Mindful Morning Coffee Ritual What: Brew pour-over coffee slowly, savoring the process. Why: Acts as mini-meditation, reducing stress and grounding you. Pro Tip: Research top U.S. roasters for quality beans. Impact: Signals focus, centers you before the day's rush. Curated Learning in Place of TV What: Watch intentional YouTube videos (e.g., skills, hobbies) instead of mindless TV. Why: Reclaims ~3.5 hours/day of TV time for growth. Pro Tip: Subscribe to 50+ channels, journal insights post-viewing. Impact: Inspires ideas, fuels lifelong learning, avoids mental drain. Unplug and Unwind: Intentional Nighttime Routine What: Dim lights, sip herbal tea, avoid screens 30–60 minutes before bed. Why: Blue light suppresses melatonin; cool rooms (65°F) optimize sleep. Pro Tip: Keep your bedroom dark and device-free. Impact: Enhances sleep quality, boosts next-day creativity. Fuel for the Week: Sunday Meal Prep What: Cook healthy meals in bulk on Sundays for the week. Why: Saves time, reduces decision fatigue, fuels peak performance. Pro Tip: Try simple combos like chicken, rice, and veggies. Impact: Sustains energy, prevents junk food crashes. Morning Mindfulness or Meditation What: Spend 2–10 minutes on breathing or guided meditation. Why: Reduces stress, improves decision-making by calming emotions. Pro Tip: Start with free YouTube meditations if apps feel overwhelming. Impact: Builds mental resilience, enhances focus and patience. Practice Daily Gratitude What: Note or pray about 3 things you're grateful for daily. Why: Increases happiness, optimism, and even physical health. Pro Tip: Reflect on challenging people as growth opportunities. Impact: Shifts mindset to abundance, fosters empathetic leadership. Plan and Prioritize Each Day Proactively What: Identify 1–3 Most Important Tasks (MITs) each morning. Why: Prevents firefighting, aligns actions with long-term goals. Pro Tip: Ask, “If I do one thing today, what matters most?” Impact: Boosts control, satisfaction, and strategic progress. Move Your Body Daily (Beyond Steps) What: Do 7–20 minutes of exercise (e.g., HIIT, yoga, kettlebell swings). Why: Boosts brain function, mood, and longevity. Pro Tip: Try micro-workouts like stair climbs or air squats. Impact: Builds stamina, self-respect, and mental clarity. Start Your Day Tech-Free (Digital Boundaries) What: Avoid phones/emails for the first 30 minutes after waking. Why: Prevents stress spikes, preserves morning clarity. Pro Tip: Keep your phone on airplane mode overnight. Impact: Fosters proactive focus, reduces reactivity. Step Outside for Morning Sunlight What: Get 5–10 minutes of natural light within an hour of waking. Why: Sets circadian rhythm, boosts alertness and mood. Pro Tip: Pair with coffee or dog-walking for easy integration. Impact: Improves sleep, energy, and emotional stability. Source: Huberman Lab Visualize Your Day and Goals What: Spend 2–5 minutes mentally rehearsing a successful day. Why: 90% of Olympians use visualization to enhance performance. Pro Tip: Picture tough tasks (e.g., meetings) going well. Impact: Primes confidence, aligns actions with goals. Why These Routines Work Leadership demands consistency, clarity, and resilience. These 15 habits are designed to compound over time—like investing $10 daily in a stock that grows for decades. They leverage high-agency principles (ownership, proactive execution) and psychological upgrades (gratitude, visualization) to keep you sharp and purposeful. Each routine is time-boxed to fit busy schedules, prioritizing 80/20 impact—focusing on what moves the needle most. By blending tactical execution (e.g., to-do lists, meal prep) with philosophical depth (e.g., gratitude, mindfulness), these habits build a life of intentional momentum. Call to Action Don't try all 15 routines at once—start small, win big. Pick 2–3 habits that resonate most (e.g., tech-free mornings, gratitude, or podcast walks) and commit to them for one week. Track how they shift your focus, energy, or mood in your journal. Share your progress with us on X using #ConsciousLeaderRoutines—we'd love to hear what's working for you! Challenge: Tomorrow morning, try the Mindful Coffee Ritual + Visualize Your Day. Spend 5 minutes brewing slowly and picturing a successful day. Notice how it sets your tone.

Hi friend! Do you get that angsty feeling deep in your gut when you think about your upcoming schedule? Do you sit down at the end of the day playing the reel of everything you got done today, and all that you didn't and it weighs down on your shoulders. Your sleep, relationships, home or work may all be suffering? I understand this plight first hand, as does today's special guest Aubree Felderhoff. Today I dive into a candid and refreshing conversation with Aubree, a Time Management Specialist, who after overcoming a life-altering chronic illness, completely restructured her approach to motherhood and home management—learning firsthand how to create systems that truly work. In This Episode: - We explore the art of time management—why perfect schedules don't exist. - How to move from reactive to proactive planning. - Questions to explore when you are really ready to create healthier home and life routines. - Practical strategies to find more breathing room in your day for yourself whilst also still serving the needs of your loved ones. - Fun ways to deepen the connection with your kiddos in small pockets of time (see below!). Aubree's down-to-earth insights will leave you feeling equipped and encouraged. Fun Ideas to Try From Today's Episode: Book Club with Your Little Avid Reader: Read a chapter separately, then come together for a brief discussion and special snacks.
