We're talking about something we've never really covered here on the podcast: brain health. This is a newer field where a lot of the research just isn't very mainstream yet, but the findings are incredible. I brought in Dr. Holly Bardutz, a brain researcher at the University of Regina, to break down what brain health actually means and why it matters for those of us dealing with overwhelm and stress.One of the biggest takeaways I want you to get from this episode is that you can improve the health of your brain every single day, even when you're overwhelmed, even when you're stressed out. You don't need to find three hours a day to make progress on this. You can actually integrate brain health practices into everyday living, and Holly's going to show you exactly how. This conversation completely changed how I think about my brain, and I can't wait for you to hear what small changes you can start putting in place today.In This Episode, We Cover:Why stress isn't always the enemy (and how it can actually help your brain)The five key lifestyle factors that directly impact your brain healthSimple daily habits that build brain reserve and improve cognitive functionWhy you can make new brain cells your entire life (yes, even now)How to challenge your brain without adding more to your to-do listConnect with Holly at www.bardutzbrainhealth.comThe Capacity Confidence Method™ – Free 3-Day Training SeriesStop guessing what you (or your team) can actually get done and start planning with confidence.

Iain Thomas is a poet, author, and the Chief Innovation Officer at Sounds Fun—an advertising and creative agency that he co-founded with the belief that human creativity could be enhanced, rather than diminished, with the help of AI. It's a realization that actually began to dawn on Iain a few years prior, after his mother died. He wasn't sure how to explain death to his children, so he turned to an early version of ChatGPT for help—and was so impressed by the poetry of its responses that he came away convinced of AI's immense potential as a thought partner for his creative work. On this episode, Iain talks about using AI to make more space for the creative parts of your work, and why, in a world where everyone has access to the same tools, it's never been more important to lean into the skills, context, and experiences that make each of us most unique—and most human.Learn more about Sounds Fun soundsfun.co~ ~ ~Working Smarter is brought to you by Dropbox Dash—the AI universal search and knowledge management tool from Dropbox.

For your planner to work, you have to look at it. Mystie Winckler talks with Convivial Circle community manager Stefani Mons about the habit of reviewing your planner daily, weekly, and at intervals.Stefani explains how:Daily reviews keep perspective accurate and help reframe negativityWeekly reviews highlight what went well before looking at what needs to changeInterval reviews (every 6–12 weeks) give time to evaluate routines, homeschooling, and habits without overhauling everything too soonThey also discuss how reviewing helps avoid planner perfectionism, why it's important to reframe lies as truth, and how community crowdsourcing provides fresh insights and reminders.This conversation shows why small, regular reviews keep plans realistic and cheerful—without going off the rails.

How much of your week do you actually spend sitting in meetings? If you're like most people, it's probably way more than you'd like. In fact, I once worked with a company that discovered over 40% of their salary budget was going toward people sitting in conference rooms. Not building products, not serving customers, just meeting. And here's the kicker: most of those meetings didn't even need to happen.Today I'm breaking down the five meeting rules that can help you reclaim your productivity, protect your energy, and finally stop feeling like your calendar is controlling your life. Whether you're the person scheduling meetings or the one drowning in back-to-back calls, this episode will show you how to make meetings work for you instead of against you.In This Episode, I'll Cover:Why meetings cost way more than just time on your calendarThe difference between a manager's schedule and a maker's scheduleFive meeting rules that will transform your productivityHow to tell if you actually need to be in a meetingWhy not being invited to meetings is actually a giftThe Capacity Confidence Method™ – Free 3-Day Training SeriesStop guessing what you (or your team) can actually get done and start planning with confidence. Learn how to discover your TRUE available time, break down projects the right way, and free up 10+ hours without hiring anyone.www.megansumrell.com/capacity ________________________________

We've all had those weeks where the pipeline, the budget, and the inbox gang up on us. Here's a quick, visual method to cut through noise, regain focus, and turn activity into outcomes: the focus map plus a six-step execution template. It's simple, fast, and friendly for time-poor sales pros.  How does a focus map work, and why does it beat a long to-do list? A focus map gets everything out of your head and onto one page around a single, central goal—so you can see priorities at a glance. Instead of scrolling endless tasks, draw a small circle in the centre of a page for your key focus (e.g., "Time Management," "Client Follow-Up," "Planning"). Radiate related sub-topics as circled "planets": prioritisation, block time, Quadrant Two focus, weekly goals. This simple visual cues the brain to spot what moves the needle first and what's just distraction. In 2025's noisy, Slack-popping world, mapping beats lists because you see interdependencies, not just items. It's a low-tech cognitive offload that scales across roles—from B2B SDRs to enterprise AEs—in Japan, the US, or Europe alike.  Do now: Grab a blank page, pick one central outcome, and sketch 6–8 sub-topics in 3 minutes. What's the six-step template I should run on each sub-topic? Use this repeatable mini-playbook: (1) Area of focus, (2) My current attitude, (3) Why it matters, (4) Specific actions, (5) Desired results, (6) Impact on vision. Walk a single sub-topic (say, "Prioritisation") through all six prompts to turn fuzzy intent into daily behaviour. This prevents feel-good plans that never reach your calendar. The key is specificity: "Block 90 minutes at 9:00 for top-value tasks, phone on Do Not Disturb" beats "be more organised." Leaders can cascade the same template in pipeline reviews or weekly one-on-ones to connect tasks to strategy and help teams self-coach.  Do now: Copy the six prompts onto a sticky note and keep it next to today's focus map. Can you show a concrete sales example for time management? Yes—prioritisation in practice looks like: organise, calendarise, and execute the top-value items first, every day.Start by acknowledging the usual blocker: "I never get around to it." Then translate to action: buy or open your organiser, maintain a rolling to-do list, and block time in your calendar for the highest-value, highest-priority items before anything else. Desired result: your best time goes to tasks with the greatest impact (e.g., discovery calls with ICP accounts, proposal updates due this week). Vision impact: consistency compounds—your effectiveness rises, and so does your contribution to team revenue. This is classic Quadrant Two discipline (important but not urgent) adapted for post-pandemic hybrid work.  Do now: Book tomorrow's first 90 minutes for your top two revenue drivers and guard it like gold. How should I prioritise when markets differ (Japan vs US vs Europe) or company size varies? Anchor priorities to value drivers that don't care about borders: ICP fit, deal stage risk, and time-to-impact. In Japan (often relationship-led and consensus-driven), prioritise follow-up and multi-stakeholder alignment; in the US (speed + experimentation), prioritise high-velocity outreach and fast iteration; in Europe (privacy/regulatory sensitivities), prioritise compliant messaging and local context. Startups should weight pipeline creation and early GTM proof; multinationals should weight cross-functional alignment, forecasting hygiene, and large-account expansion. The focus map adapts: the central circle stays constant ("Close Q4 revenue"), while the "planets" change by market and motion (ABM research vs channel enablement vs security reviews).  Do now: Label each sub-topic with the market or motion it best serves (e.g., "JP enterprise," "US SMB," "EU regulated"). How do I turn focus maps into weekly cadence without burning out? Run a lightweight loop: Monday map, daily 90-minute deep-work block, Friday review—then iterate. On Monday, pick one central theme (e.g., "Client Follow-Up") and 6–8 sub-topics. Each morning, choose one sub-topic and run the six-step template; protect a single 90-minute block to execute. On Friday, review outcomes vs. desired results, retire what's done, and promote what worked. Leaders can add a shared "focus wall" for visibility and coaching. This cadence blends time-blocking (Cal Newport), Eisenhower Quadrants, and sales hygiene—without heavy software. As of 2025, hybrid teams using this approach report better handoffs, cleaner CRM notes, and fewer "busy but not productive" days.  Do now: Schedule next week's Monday-Friday 09:00–10:30 focus block in your calendar. What are the red flags and watch-outs that kill focus? Beware "activity inflation," tool thrashing, and priority drift. Activity inflation = doing more low-value tasks to feel productive. Tool thrashing = bouncing between apps without finishing work. Priority drift = letting other people's urgencies displace your high-value commitments. Countermeasures: (1) Tie each sub-topic to a KPI (meetings booked, qualified pipeline, cycle time), (2) pre-decide your top two daily outcomes before opening email, (3) make your Friday review public to your manager or team to add gentle social accountability. Keep the map hand-drawn or one-page digital; if it takes longer to maintain than to act, you've over-engineered it.  Do now: Add KPI labels beside three sub-topics and delete one low-value "busywork" task today. Is there a quick checklist I can copy for my team? Use this one-pager and recycle it weekly. Central focus (one phrase): ____________________ Planets (6–8 sub-topics): ____________________ Six Steps per sub-topic: Area of focus → 2) My attitude → 3) Why it matters → 4) Specific actions → 5) Desired results → 6) Impact on vision Time block: 90 minutes daily, device on Do Not Disturb KPIs: meetings booked, pipeline $, cycle time, win rate Friday review: what shipped, what's next, what to drop This blends visual clarity (map) with behavioural clarity (six steps), making it easy for sales managers to coach and for reps to self-manage under pressure.  Do now: Print this checklist for the team stand-up and agree on one shared KPI for the week. Conclusion Focus maps + a six-step template turn overwhelm into action. They help you see what matters, schedule it, and ship it—fast. Start with one central goal, map the "planets," and run one sub-topic per day through the six prompts. That's how you get better results when time is tight.  Optional FAQs What's the difference between a focus map and mind map? A focus map is smaller and execution-oriented: one central outcome and 6–8 sub-topics you'll actually schedule this week.  How many sub-topics are ideal? Six to eight forces trade-offs; more invites sprawl and context switching.  How quickly should I see results? Usually within two weeks once you're blocking 90 minutes daily for the top-value tasks.  Next Steps for Leaders Run a 30-minute "Monday Map" with your team; pick one shared KPI. Make the 90-minute deep-work block part of your sales playbook. Review focus maps in pipeline meetings; coach actions, not anecdotes.    About the Author Dr. Greg Story, Ph.D. in Japanese Decision-Making, is President of Dale Carnegie Tokyo Training and Adjunct Professor at Griffith University.

Your Daily Card should be the simplest, most powerful tool in your planner — but most moms get it wrong.In this episode, Mystie Winckler walks through the three most common Daily Card mistakes that keep homemakers from feeling productive and peaceful:1️⃣ Writing down wishful thinking instead of real priorities.2️⃣ Listing projects instead of doable tasks.3️⃣ Avoiding the practice until it feels “perfect.”Learn how to make a daily card that focuses on the meat of your day — the essential work that matters most — so you can stop spinning your wheels and start walking faithfully through your responsibilities.Making daily cards consistently helps you learn about yourself, your thinking patterns, and your real priorities.2. Mistake #1 – Wishful ThinkingMany moms fill their daily card with things they wish they could do instead of their true priorities.The daily card should not list extras or gravy tasks—it's for the meat of the day.“The meat” means the core work and responsibilities that genuinely require your time and attention today.Instead of writing down what you'd like to do, ask:“Where should my time and attention go today?”Examples:Nursing the baby, homeschooling, or preparing meals may take significant time and deserve a spot on the card.These tasks are not distractions from productivity—they are the essential work of the day.The daily card helps you stop criticizing yourself for not doing “more” and instead recognize that you spent your time where it mattered.3. Mistake #2 – Putting Projects Instead of TasksA project is many tasks disguised as one item; putting it on your daily card sets you up for failure.The daily card should only include things that can actually be done today with the time and energy you have.Big projects should be broken into smaller, specific, actionable steps.A helpful rule:If it takes too much time, too much energy, or too much thinking power, it's too big for your daily card.Examples of proper daily card items:“Make two phone calls” (instead of “handle appointments”)“Take meal to family” (acknowledging it affects timing and priorities)The goal is to prioritize what truly counts, not to cram ambitious goals into an already full day.4. Mistake #3 – Procrastinating the PracticeSome moms avoid making a daily card because they think they must have perfect priorities figured out first.You learn what matters by doing daily cards, even imperfectly.It's better to make a bad daily card today than to make none at all.Each attempt gives insight into your expectations, habits, and priorities.Over time, repeated practice builds awareness and discernment.
