Executive functioning—it's the behind-the-scenes power that keeps us organized, flexible, and in control. But what happens when it doesn't come naturally? In this episode of Parents of the Year, Dr. Anna Levy-Warren joins Andrew and Caroline to break down executive functions in real life—why working memory, cognitive flexibility, and self-control matter, and how to support kids (and ourselves) when these skills don't come easily. With humour, personal stories, and practical strategies, they tackle everything from school struggles to emotional regulation and screen time battles. Tune in for real talk and actionable tips to make daily life smoother for you and your kids.Homework Ideas✅ Reframe how you see executive functioning struggles – Instead of assuming laziness or defiance, remind yourself that your child's brain may be working at a younger developmental level in certain areas.✅ Create a visual checklist – Work with your child to break down common routines (e.g., getting ready for school) into a step-by-step chart with pictures or words.✅ Try a time timer – Use a visual clock to help kids manage time better for tasks like homework or getting ready.✅ Model and narrate self-regulation – When feeling frustrated, say aloud: “I feel overwhelmed, so I'm going to take a deep breath before I answer.” Show kids how to pause before reacting.✅ Reduce screen distractions – If your child struggles with focus, try moving devices out of sight during study time and limiting evening screen exposure.Try:

 Tech Productivity - AZ TRT S06 EP06 (267) 3-23-2025              What We Learned This Week ChatGPT is an AI chatbot, developed by OpenAI, that can engage in human-like conversations ChatGPT can read docs, edit docs, answer Qs, and transcribe Elevenreader – app that turns any document into audio Google Drive – office suite of tools for spreadsheets, docs, powerpoints, & more Todoist – task management program Pocket – web research tool that saves & organizes links   Guest: Denver Nowicz, President - Wealth For Lifehttp://wealthforlife.net/ Denver is an advisor with nearly 20 years experience working with clients in investments and insurance, designing retirement plans with a combo of both. He takes us through different strategies for clients to get the best allocations for their money over the long term. It is the Combo Strategy of both Offense and Defense, the synergy of the mix, not ‘All or Nothing'.     Notes: Seg 1  https://openai.com/index/chatgpt/   ChatGPT is an AI chatbot, developed by OpenAI, that can engage in human-like conversations and generate various text formats, including articles, emails, and code, based on the prompts it receives.  Denver uses ChatGPT daily for both business and personal use You can have live interaction with ChatGPT where you can actually talk with the AI program using a microphone  Example of this, Denver had to fix his boat motor and suspected something was wrong with the fuel line. Able to turn on the camera on his computer to show it to ChatGPT who helped diagnose the problem in real time. Another example is you can use ChatGPT for cooking to help with recipes It's important to understand how you frame the questions to ChatGPT, to get the best answer as possible. ChatGPT can create work docs and summary docs. Common use is as an editor to what you write.  Denver uses ChatGPT to help with his weekly newsletter. He will voice text into his phone the Notes. Then he copies those notes into the AI program and it helps create and write the newsletter. Then Denver can make edits on it. Can also upload previous docs that you have written, so the AI can figure out your writing style, and philosophy. Then the AI can write future docs in your style. The speed of AI is amazing where it literally saves you time and makes you more efficient.  AI program can even read PDFs and screenshots, or you can give it a link to a video and it can pull the audio transcript. AI can be used as a teacher to discover new things, and even as a psychologist. There is a tech arms race going on in AI with programs like Microsoft Copilot, Google Bard, ChatGPT, and now Deepseek.   Seg 2 Productivity apps recommended by Denver  Many of the apps he uses are free or a very low cost, here are some he likes: Elevenreader AI voice app Turns any document into an audiobook. This can be time saving as you can listen to it vs reading it.

I hate CRMs. I know I need one—I'm doing more coaching, getting more inbound leads, and ranking in the top three organic search results for podcast coaches on Google.But no matter how many times I've tried HubSpot, Zoho, or whatever the flavor of the week is, they've never fit into my workflow.So I did a totally normal, not weird thing: I built my own CRM.In this episode, I walk through the simple system I set up using Notion, Todoist, Make.com, and my website. I'll share why I built it this way, how it automates lead tracking and follow-ups, and why reducing friction is the key to sticking with any system.Plus, I'll show you how you can apply this same approach to streamline your own processes—without forcing yourself into tools that don't work for you. For all of the links mentioned in this episode, go to https://streamlined.fm/464Top TakeawaysThe best CRM (or any tool) is the one you'll actually use—start simple and build on tools you already know.If you struggle with sticking to a system, it's likely because it doesn't fit your natural workflow. Adapt the system, not yourself.Don't limit yourself because of past experience. There is lots of flexibility in the apps we use today, and you can take advantage of that.Show NotesScreenshots I posted on LinkedInAutomations DatabaseNotionTodoistMake.comGravity FormsWant to see the automations I use?

A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show. WOW! 350 episodes. I never thought this podcast would still be going strong after six years. Thank you to all of you for following me and this podcast and to everyone who has sent in questions. Please keep them coming in—they are the fuel of this podcast.  So, back to this episode.  One way to destroy your efforts to become better organised and more productive is to fight against yourself. This can manifest itself when you are a deadline-driven person trying to be a carefully planned out person.  Let me give you an example: if you struggle to find the motivation to begin a project because the deadline is six months away, yet you pressure yourself to start now. You'll likely find yourself losing interest and giving up after a few weeks.  Then you beat yourself up.  But, perhaps you're not doing anything wrong; you're just trying to do something you are not wired to do.  That's why it's important to know what kind of person you are and to figure and what works and what doesn't. Okay, before we go further, let me hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question.  This week's question comes from Matthew. Matthew asks, Hi Carl, What do you recommend to someone who finds it difficult to get motivated unless there the deadline is right on top of them? Ho Matthew. Thank you for your question.  I've witnessed something like this very close to home.  My wife struggles to start work on a project or a task until the deadline is right in front of her. She then pulls out all the stops pulling all nighters if necessary. Yet, she always meets her deadlines.  In the twenty + years I've known her, I cannot recall a time she missed a deadline. Ever.  My mother, on the other-hand is the complete opposite. She will begin getting her holiday items together sever months before she travels. I know, when we travel to visit my family over the Christmas holidays, he will be wanting to plan her next trip to Korea with me. Six months before she's likely to travel. She even gets her suitcase ready. It would be fruitless to encourage my wife to be more like my mother or vice versa.  My mother hates stress—it gives her a headache. My wife doesn't see the point in over preparing.  Yet, we shouldn't be looking at the methods, instead look at the results. Neither my wife nor my mother miss deadlines. They have different approaches, but still achieve the same results.  Some of my coaching clients wake up very early 4:30 - 5:30 am and like to plan their day before they finish their morning routines end. Others find it more beneficial to plan the day the evening before. Yet, as long as you begin your day with a clear idea of what needs to be accomplished that day, does it really matter when you do your daily planning?  I recommend if you are an early bird, do your planning in the morning. If you are more of a night owl, do it the evening before. What matters is you plan the day. The benefits of having a clear idea of what you want to get accomplished that day, far outweighs the timing of your planning.  I have clients who see Ali Abdaal's productivity recommendations and wonder how he gets any work done with so many tools being used to organise something as simple as what to do and when. Yet, I have other clients who love using the tools Ali recommends. There's no right or wrong way to do this as long as you are getting the results you want.  In your case, Matthew, the productivity tool that you should master is your calendar. If you are motivated by deadlines, you will need to be very clear about when you deadlines are. Having your deadlines on your calendar in the all-day section and in a colour you cannot fail to see will ensure you know when your deadlines are. All my project deadlines are in my calendar in red. These are hard deadlines and when I am planning my week, all I need to do is look ahead two or three weeks to see what's coming up.  You may also find it helpful to have a Master Projects list in your notes app so when you are planning the week you have a central place where all the information you need is. On your Master Projects list you can have the deadlines, and what needs to happen next. That way you can judge how much work is still required to meet your deadline.  That's something I've learned from my wife. While on the surface she looks a disorganised mess, underneath that disguise is someone who's looking at the calendar on her phone every evening to see what's coming up over the next few days.  Last Monday, while we were sitting on the sofa, my wife reminded me that Louis had a grooming appointment on Thursday and she wanted to check I was sill okay to take him.  And there I was thinking she was scrolling social media, yet, she was looking at her calendar for the week to see if she needed to to do something.  Did she need to know about that last week? No.  I did, though. My system's different from hers. Yet both our systems produced the same result. Louis arrived for his grooming appointment on time.  However despite having very different methods for getting our work done, there are some principles that will never change. Writing your commitments down somewhere you trust is critical.  While my wife does not use any kind of task manager, she does use, and trusts, her calendar. And I've seen this with many other people who don't use a task manager—they still use something they trust.  A former boss of mine, would have his secretary print out his Outlook calendar for the week each Monday morning. He would then fold that calendar up into his pocket diary.  Throughout the week, he would add to-dos and appointments to that printed calendar as required and on Friday afternoon update his Outlook calendar so the up-to-date version would be ready for him the following Monday morning.  Again, he never forgot anything as far as I could tell. It was an unorthodox system, but it worked.  This is why it can be dangerous to copy other people's systems. They are not you.  Earlier, I published my latest Todoist setup on YouTube. I do this twice a year, and I suspect I do it more for me than for anyone else. I have been doing this since around 2019, so now I have five years of set-ups I can refer back to and see my evolution. The biggest change came in May 2020 when I launched the Time Sector System. That was a result of struggling to make Getting Things Done work for me in the digital age. I remember walking to the gym one day and being hit be a sudden realisation that really the only thing that mattered was “when” I would do a task, not what I needed to do.  It doesn't matter how much you have to do if you don't have time to do it. What matters is what you do when you do have time.  This realisation solved so many struggles for me. It caused me to limit the number of meetings I was available for each week, and if I could not restrict my meetings, then I had to restrict the number of tasks I was trying to do.  Perhaps I am more aware of the limits time imposes on us than others, or others knew all this before I became aware of it. Either way, it helped me to begin working to my strengths rather than fighting against them.  This also applies to when you are at your most focused. Most people will find they are at their most focused in the mornings but not everyone is.  Some people will find they are at their best in the evenings. This is one reason why flexible working times work for some and not for others.  If you are more a night owl, working for a company that allows you to work to your own schedule will help you thrive. Working for a company that keeps strict 9 till 5 hours will create all sorts of difficulties for you. Doist, the parent company of Todoist, works flexible hours. Because they are a 100% remote company, their team is spread throughout the world. They have people on the west coast of America, and people here in Korea. That's a seventeen hour time difference. Insisting everyone worked a 9 till 5 day would not work.  Doist has an unenviable staff turnover level. I believe over the last ten years only four or five people have left the company. That's incredible for a company that employs over one hundred people.  I've discovered more on this with my pen and paper experiment this year—well, it began as an experiment. It's hard to call it an experiment now.  Returning to pen and paper has helped me to rediscover the art of thinking and the importance of slowing down from time to time.  Digital tools are great, they make storing and finding documents easy. They all help manage quick notes and ideas. Paper, though is different, there's no batteries and if you grab an A4 pad of paper, and a Bic ball pen, and disappear to a cafe, you could spend all day there and never have to worry about recharging your device. That bit ball pen will draw a 3 kilometre (about 2 miles) line before it runs out. And of course, there's no notifications or beeps and buzzes.  Yet, pen and paper doesn't work for everyone. There's a lot of people who do love them, there's also a lot of people who hate them. And that's fine.  So, Matthew, look at how you prefer to work. If you need deadlines to motivate you, the only thing that matters is you meet your deadlines. If that causes you to have to work later than you want to, perhaps you could create a false deadline. You could say this piece of work must be finished tomorrow by 5PM so I can hand it in the next day.  False deadlines are great. I generally have most of my projects finish at the end of the month, so my “fake” end of the month is the 25th. This gives me around a week before the real deadline hits and ensures I am not scrambling to finish things late into the night.  I hope that has helped. Thank you for your question, Matthew. And thank you to you too for listening. It just remains for me now to wish you all a very very productive week.

A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show. There is a lot of advice on managing your to-dos, organising your notes and controlling your calendar. And it can be tempting to copy whatever you have seen, believing if it worked for someone else, it must work for you.  Well, not so fast.  One thing I've learned from coaching hundreds of people is that no individual is the same. We think differently, have different jobs, and have different family lives and interests.  One example is Tiago Forte's PARA method. It's a great way to organise your notes, and many people swear by it. However, it never worked for me. I'm a goal-orientated person. Goals motivate me. I also define Areas of Focus differently from how Tiago defines an area.  This is why I settled on GAPRA (Goals, Areas of Focus, Projects, Resources and Archive.) This does not mean that PARA does not work. It works, for some people. Similarly, I have coaching clients who find GAPRA works better. It all depends on how you think, like to organise things and do your work.  So, what can you do with so much conflicting advice? How can you find the methods for you? Well, before I get to that, let me hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question.  This week's question comes from Frank. Frank asks, hi Carl. I've been a life-long follower of productivity systems and have struggled to find a system that works for me. How would you advise someone to find a way that works for them? Hi Frank, thank you for your question.  Around 20 years ago, I began my career as an English teacher in Korea.  I had come from working a typical 9 til 5 office job and suddenly I was on the other side of the world, working from 6:30 am to 12:00 pm and 6:30 pm to 9:30 pm. It was tough.  I'm not a natural morning person—never have been—so waking up at 5:00 am was a shock to my system.  It wasn't long before I began taking naps. I would get home at 12:30, and go straight back to bed for two hours.  For the next ten years, that's what I continued to do.  I had learned about the power of taking naps from none other than Winston Churchill. He believed that if you took a solid 90 minute nap every afternoon you would be able to get at least a day and half's worth of work done in a day.  He wasn't wrong. By taking an afternoon nap I found I was full of energy when teaching in the evening and was able to spend an hour preparing for my next day's classes when I got home in the evening.  Yet, I knew Churchill took his naps between 3:30 pm and 5:00 pm. That didn't work for me. So I adapted it to work better for me.  Likewise, back in 2016 or so, I read Robin Sharma's brilliant 5 AM Club book. I was sold. I thought, okay, let's give this a try.  For those of you not familiar with the 5 AM Club, this is where you wake up at 5:00 AM and do twenty minutes of exercise, then 20 minutes planning and finally 20 minutes of learning. It's solid way to begin your day.  Yet, I had a problem. I've never been comfortable exercising in the morning. So, I adapted it. I did twenty minutes journal writing, then ten minutes planning the day and finally studied Korean for thirty minutes.  And it worked. I was consistent for around eighteen months and I loved it.  But then I hit a problem. My coaching business began taking off and I was doing coaching calls late at night—sometimes not finishing until midnight. This meant I was trying to survive on four or five hours of sleep. Not a good thing if you want to be productive. It then occurred to me, the “secret” to the 5 am club is not waking up at 5 am. It's what you do immediately on waking up that matters.  Today, I wake up around 8:00 am, and start my day with a solid set of morning routines that include journal writing, some stretches and learning my email inbox. It works perfect for me. It sets me up for mostly productive days.  And that's the key point. Whatever you learn about productivity, time management and living life doesn't have to be followed exactly as described. We all live different lives and it can be modified to better work for you.  However, there are a few caveats here. The first is you will not be able to break basic principles.  For instance, if you want a solid way to manage your life, you will need to collect stuff into a trusted place and not rely on your head to remember things. You will then need to spend a little time organising what you collected and finally, you need to do the work.  Yet, how you collect things and where you collect them is entirely up to you. You could use a pencil and notebook, or a sophisticated task management system. Both work.  Another principle I see people trying to break is scheduling far more than the number of hours in the day will allow.  You get 24 hours a day. That's not going to change. The only variable you have is what you do in the time you have.  This is not as simple as you may think. Sure, it's easy to schedule seven hours of sleep, an hour for a gym session, four hours for deep work, another three hours for spending with your family and an hour for dealing with your communications and further hour for learning.  All that looks great on a calendar. But what if you didn't sleep well, you woke up with the start of a heavy cold and had a fight with your teenage daughter?  Yep, that's real life hitting you in the face.  Now, hopefully that's not going to happen to you every day, but events will always get in the way of your perfectly planned day.  It's rare to see any kind of time management or productivity system building in buffer time. Yet, buffer time—time you keep free for the unexpected—is critical if you are to avoid becoming overwhelmed.  One way you can approach the day is to treat it as a puzzle: Here are the twenty-four hours you have. That's your constraint. Here's a list of things you need to do or attend in those twenty-fours hours, now how are you going to fit everything in?  Now, it could be that I am weird, but I love solving this puzzle every day. I love it so much I do it the day before.  First, I look at my confirmed appointments—these are the fixed stakes in the ground. They help to give my day a little structure. Then, I look at my tasks for that day. Where can I fit these in?  It's important to know your own natural biorhythms here. When are most likely to be focused? Perhaps you find focusing on deep work in the morning easier than trying to do in the afternoon. If that's the case, then try to protect two hours in the morning for dedicated focused work.  I should say at this point, every productive person I've come across does this. They protect time each day for their most important work. Authors, CEOs, top salespeople, the most successful lawyers and Olympic athletes.  The difference is no matter where they are in the command chain, they are ruthless about protecting time each day for their critical work.  Unproductive, stressed out and exhausted people don't do this. They don't protect time. Instead, they have a false belief that they have to be available all the time for their customers and bosses. Well, good luck with that approach. It doesn't work, never has, and never will.  I remember a sales training session I was on, and the trainer was a former top salesperson—I believe he was formerly the number one car salesperson in the country.  He told us, we could call him at any time if we needed help. But, not before 11 am. He would not answer his phone before 11 am.  When asked why, he explained he needed those two hours in the morning to do his follow ups, and contact his customers who were due to change their car in the next three months and make sure he had appointments scheduled for the rest of the day.  I suspect this was why he was the number one salesperson. He understood how to solve the daily puzzle.  Another area that can disrupt you overall productivity is the tools you use.  There are a lot of fantastic time management and productivity tools available to us today. Many promise the impossible, but ultimately, it will always come down to how you solve the daily puzzle. In that respect, no tool will help you beyond a calendar and a list of tasks that need to be done.  I get questions every day from people asking me if it's possible to do this or that thing. What they are really asking me is “how do I complicate things?”  Let's be clear, all you need to know each day is what appointments you have and when and what your critical must do tasks for the day are.  Once you know this and you know you have sufficient time to complete everything, you're good to go.  The more organising you do, the more lists you create and the more tools you use, the less time you have to get on and do the work.  I mentioned Tiago Forte's PARA method earlier, and I remember the popularity of this when Tiago launched his book on the subject. There was a frenzy and YouTube lit u with people doing videos on how to set up this notes app or that one with the PARA method.  I could see immediately why it was so popular. It was another way to reorganise things. It gave people something to play with. In other words it gave people an excuse not to do their work.  PARA is great, but it's not going to make you more productive or better at managing time. I use Evernote and it's a complete mess. When I need something, I use Evernote's powerful search.  Whether I'm looking for a client note, a reference to an idea I had several years ago or my book notes from a book I've read on Kindle, all I need do is type a keyword, a date range or person's name and in less than a second I have the information in front of me.  I could spend hours each week keeping my notes up to date, summarised and organised, or I can rely on search and give me those hours to get my work done. I know what I choose.  Over the last three or four months, Todoist has introduced a calendar and start and due dates. I use neither. They don't help me get my work done and both of those features just add more complexity to what should be a simple list.  You don't need to use all the features an app has. Use the ones that help you to focus on your work and leave alone the ones that add more organising work.  I hope that has helped, Frank. Thank you for your question.  And thank you to you too for listening. It just remains for me to wish you all a very very productive week.

Today, I'm sharing practical strategies for transitioning from idea capture to action, breaking down large tasks into manageable subtasks and exploring tools like Google Tasks and voice assistants for prioritisation and organisation. Plus, I reflect on my own long-term struggle with to-do lists and how to experiment with different approaches to find a system that suits your needs. Simplifying Idea Capture Avoid complex systems to prevent distraction and overwhelm. Focus on simple, streamlined methods for capturing ideas. Set dedicated idea capture times to minimise distractions. Organising Idea Capture Materials Ensure materials and tools are easily accessible. Utilise technology for effortless idea capture using voice assistants. Transitioning from Idea Capture to Action Prioritise tasks based on urgency, impact, or personal goals. Structure and prioritise tasks. Break down large tasks into smaller, manageable subtasks. Combining Digital and Non-Digital Methods Use written to-do lists to complement digital systems for immediate tasks. Essential Elements for an Effective System Thinker's Notebook's five elements: omnipresence, efficiency, organisation, security, and offline thinking. Exploring Digital and Non-Digital Tools Popular digital tools: Evernote, OneNote, ToodleDo, Todoist, Trello, Taiga.io, Google Calendar, Outlook Calendar, Google Tasks. Non-digital methods: scraps of paper, notebooks, preprinted planners, bullet journals, mind maps. Personalising the Capture Method Importance of selecting a method suited to personal preferences and technical comfort level. Experimentation with different approaches. Two-Step Strategy for Idea Capture Combine digital or portable capture methods with comprehensive home organisation tools. Mind Mapping for Subtasks Use mind maps to break down tasks, providing a visual representation. Realistic Time Management Decide on timings based on deadlines and personal flexibility. Visual Task Management Track progress and prioritise tasks using visual tools like checklists or kanban boards. Prioritisation and Breaking Down Tasks Organise tasks by priority for easier management. Divide large tasks into smaller parts for simplification. Timely Task Execution Be realistic about time required for tasks and accommodate flexibility. Psychological Boost from Completion Mark tasks as completed for a dopamine boost and visual progress tracking. Adapting Idea Capture Systems Experiment with various methods to find an effective system that suits personal needs and goals.

Is it possible to expand time? Literally, no. But there is a way to find more time if you're willing to use these techniques.

A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show. Common phrases you will hear are “I don't have time” or “I wish I had more time”, and yet you already have all the time you need. The problem is not time, the problem is often the amount of things we want to do in the time we have.  Hundreds of thousands of years ago, life was simple. Find food and water, make babies and stay safe. Neglecting either of those three things would result in some serious issues—the biggest of which would be death.  Given that human evolution is slow, we are not best suited to deal with hundreds of emails and messages, requests from bosses, finding child care, commuting to and from work and all the other modern-day accessories we've chosen to add to our lives.  We cannot expand time, yet if we are unwilling to reduce what we want to do, we will feel overwhelmed and that more modern ailment, the fear of missing out, or FOMO.  However, there are a few techniques you can use that will give you enough time for the things you want to do if you are willing to try them. But before I get to how, allow me to hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question. This week's question comes from Giles. Giles asks, Hi Carl, I've done your “perfect week” exercise and realise that my problem is I want to do too much. There isn't enough time in the day. Do you have any tips on fitting in hobbies and still get enough sleep? Hi Giles, thank you for your question.  The good thing is you've discovered that no matter what you want to do or feel you must do, you will always be limited by the amount of time available.  And, now that you've done the Perfect Week calendar exercise, you can see what you have left after taking care of your work and family obligations.  One of the first realisations about finding time was when I learned of Ian Fleming's writing routine.  Ian Fleming wrote a new book each year from 1952 to his death in 1964. He never missed a year, even in the year he had his first heart attack in 1961.  In the early years, Fleming worked For The Sunday Times as their foreign editor, yet he negotiated a two-month vacation each January and February. During those two months, he would fly off to his Jamaican home, Goldeneye and almost from the first day, would begin writing the next book from 9:30 to 12:30.  After lunch, he would nap, and then the day's socialising would begin.  Around 4 pm, he would go back to his writing desk for an hour to review what he had written that morning, and that would be it.  Four hours a day for six weeks. That produced the first draft of his next book.  For the rest of the year, he worked his regular job in London. Dealt with any rewrites and began marketing the book that was being published that year.  If you were to analyse how Ian Fleming managed his time, he wasn't looking at the day-to-day. He looked at the year as a whole.  He knew he needed six weeks to write a new novel each year, so he made sure those six weeks were blocked out in his diary before the new year began.  That's just six weeks out of fifty-two.  This is similar to blocking time out for your core work. If you know you need ten hours a week to do your core work, hoping you will find the time is not a sustainable strategy. You won't, so it will be more a case of hoping you will find the time.  Those ten hours need to be locked in each week. Ian Fleming would never have written fourteen James Bond novels if he had “hoped” to find the time to do so. He had to find the time and then protect it.  You have 168 hours a week and twenty-four each day. Squeezing everything into those twenty-four hours will be tough—almost impossible. Yet, if you were to schedule for the week, where you have 168 hours, things become possible.  I see many people anxiously trying to find family time every day. It would be nice if you could do that, but you are dealing with other people and your 6 to 9 pm might not be convenient for them.  Instead, you could agree with your family that certain days or evenings are for family time. For instance, my wife and I ensure that Wednesday afternoons and Saturday evenings are protected for family time.  It's lovely because while it is flexible, there's no need for us to be trying to schedule time. It's already protected.  This is all about expanding time. Looking at an individual day is tough; there are a lot of emergencies and unknowns that pop up. However, if you were to establish what you want time for each week (or month), block the time out so you know you have the time to do it, you will always have the flexibility to move things around if things change.  For example, this week, my wife had an exam to do on Wednesday afternoon, so we rescheduled our family day out to Thursday. All I needed to do was to move a few of my other commitments around so I could still get all my work done that week.  You can apply the same principles to your work commitments. If you require ten hours a week to get your core work done—the work you are employed to do, not the work you volunteer to do—you can pre-protect that time on your calendar.  Now, I know many people will object and say they cannot do this because they have to attend meetings.  That's fine. Let me ask you a question. What will do more to get the project completed? Having a meeting about the project or working on the project? If the project objectives have been communicated clearly and roles defined, meetings should not be needed.  One of the best ways to regain time is to become less accessible. Most people's time management problems start by being too accessible. Of course, this will depend on the type of work you do. A salesperson, for instance, should be accessible to their customers. But perhaps not necessarily be as accessible to their admin departments or even their sales manager. If you're producing the results, I can promise you your sales manager will leave you alone.  When I first began teaching time management and productivity, I was available on all social media channels. I was on Twitter, Facebook, WhatsApp, LinkedIn and email. Just to stay on top of all those channels was taking me three hours a day. I don't have three hours a day to manage all those channels.  So, now I push everyone towards email. I have a process for dealing with email. Over the years, I have refined it to a point where I can handle over a hundred emails in less than an hour.  And the final point to make here, Giles, is you don't have to do everything now.  Imagine If there's a period each year when things go a little quiet at work. Perhaps in the summer, it's quieter than at other times of the year. Maybe July and August is a good time for you to do some of the bigger projects. Then, when you enter the busy times of the year, you can work on the smaller projects.  One way you can do this is to use a tool such as Todoist, Asana, or Trello that allows you to create boards. You can then create four columns and spread out the activities you want to do.  For example, in quarter 1, I focus on my biggest projects of the year; I like to kick off the year with a bang. Q2 is focused more on processes and making them more effective and efficient.  Seeing everything I want to accomplish over the year organised in quarters stops me from becoming anxious about all the things I want to do.  This also gives you a plan for the year, which in turn helps you to be more focused.  Again, you can be flexible here. Feel free to move projects around the year so you are working on the right projects at the right time.  Time can be your friend or enemy. If you don't harness it, it will be your enemy. If you take control of it, you will find you do have sufficient time for the things you want to do. Perhaps not this week or next, but when you look at things over a quarter or a year, many things become possible.  I know some of you would like to build an exercise programme into your life. Yet the thought of joining a gym, or yoga class puts you off because you have go to the gym, spend an hour exercising, then shower. After all that it will have eaten up two hours of your time.  You don't have to do all that—certainly not initially. You could do some bodyweight exercises at home or go out for a walk. That won't take up much of your time. I do twenty minutes every day at home.  As your fitness improves, then you may wish to add a few gym sessions. But that's not a requirement of being fit and healthy.  I hope that has helped Giles. Thank you for your question, and thank you to you, too. It just remains for me to wish you a very very productive week.

Leslie Shreve, Founder of Productive Day® and creator of Taskology®, enhances workload management and productivity for C-level leaders and professionals. With over 20 years of experience, she helps clients regain hours in their workday and reduce email time significantly. What problem do we solve? Leslie Shreve addresses key productivity challenges for small business owners. She highlights the issues of inefficient task management and the drawbacks of using outdated paper systems. Shreve advocates for centralizing tasks in a digital system, prioritizing important activities, and breaking tasks into smaller, manageable steps. Her advice includes setting clear action dates and protecting time blocks to enhance productivity and reduce stress. She aims to help business owners become more organized and efficient. Small Business Answer Man Show Notes: With so many responsibilities and deadlines, entrepreneurship may be stressful, especially around the end of the year. Effective time management is essential to juggling work and personal obligations. Leslie Shreve, the developer of Taskology and the founder of Productive Day, wants to lower stress levels and help people discover hidden time to boost productivity. Managing chores across several platforms, such as paper, planners, emails, phone calls, texts, and social media, is a common time waster that can lead to inefficiencies and missed opportunities. Instead of utilizing paper, centralize tasks into a single digital system to get around this. Microsoft, Google, Asana, Trello, and Todoist are a few of the well-known programs. Create a thorough list of all the assignments, initiatives, and concepts in the digital system. Divide work into manageable, smaller steps to prevent feeling overburdened. Pay particular attention to what has to be done and when. This method aids in making wise choices regarding how to use one's time. Prioritizing tasks that affect the bottom line is crucial for small business owners to avoid becoming bogged down in less crucial duties like managing emails excessively. Leslie highlights the inefficiency of managing tasks with outdated paper systems. She advocates for centralizing tasks in a single digital system and emphasizes prioritizing important activities to focus on high-impact tasks. Leslie suggests breaking tasks into smaller, manageable steps and setting clear action dates and recommends protecting time blocks to enhance productivity and reduce stress. Her aim is to help business owners become more organized and efficient. Leslie Shreve's Advice for Leaders: Don't just put chores on your calendar. Manage tasks independently instead to keep an accurate picture of your actual time obligations and accessible windows of time. Set up specified time slots for finishing assignments and answering emails. This aids in workload management and keeps work from interfering with personal time. Establish a time-blocking strategy to protect your calendar. Establish precise rules for how often you should complete things each day and how to handle unforeseen problems. Establish dependable routines and habits to boost output. Wholesome systems that incorporate every facet of the workday are more efficient than piecemeal ones. Schedule some wiggle room so you can deal with unforeseen circumstances and rearrange priorities as necessary. Avoid working long hours on the weekends and at night. Make sure the way you organize your workday promotes productivity without taking away from personal time. Long-term success depends on your ability to sustain your productivity strategy with discipline and consistency. Rather than depending on discrete tools or recommendations, select and adhere to a comprehensive technique that handles duties, time management, email processing, and information handling. Establish a clear strategy to increase productivity and decrease the need to look for shortcuts or productivity hacks. To avoid burnout and dissatisfaction, try to establish a productive work environment that also permits you to keep a healthy work-life balance.

Welcome to this powerful episode of *Empower Hour with Jaresha*! As we approach the end of the year, it's time to reflect on our journeys and refuse to settle for less than we are made for. This week, we're embracing the mindset of being made for more and exploring how to finish the year strong! In this episode, I'll share three essential points to help you harness your potential and wrap up the year with purpose: 1. Embrace Your True Worth “You are not defined by your circumstances; your potential is limitless.” Recognize that you are deserving of greatness. Start by identifying your strengths and values, and remind yourself daily that you are capable of achieving more than you imagine. 2. Set Clear and Intentional Goals “A goal without a plan is just a wish.” As the year comes to a close, set actionable goals that align with your vision. Break them down into manageable steps and create a timeline that empowers you to take consistent action. This approach will help you stay focused and motivated. 3. Cultivate a Resilient Mindset “The road to success is paved with grit and persistence.” Challenges are inevitable, but they don't define you. Cultivate resilience by framing setbacks as learning experiences. When obstacles arise, use them as stepping stones to propel you toward your goals.

This week, how to process your task manager's inbox quickly and effectively so you can get focused on what needs to be done.   You can subscribe to this podcast on: Podbean | Apple Podcasts | Stitcher | Spotify | TUNEIN   Links: Email Me | Twitter | Facebook | Website | Linkedin   The Ultimate Productivity Workshop  Get Your Copy Of Your Time, Your Way: Time Well Managed, Life Well Lived Take The NEW COD Course The Working With… Weekly Newsletter Carl Pullein Learning Centre Carl's YouTube Channel Carl Pullein Coaching Programmes The Working With… Podcast Previous episodes page Script | 336 Hello, and welcome to episode 336 of the Your Time, Your Way Podcast. A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show. One issue that pops up regularly in my coaching programme is an overwhelming inbox. There are too many unclear items left to fester and fill up space, with no clear pathway to dealing with whatever needs to be done.  Now, it's true that you need to collect things. If you're not collecting your commitments and ideas, you soon find yourself forgetting to do the important things you have committed to. However, collecting is just the first part of a three-part process. You also need to organise what you collect and then do the work.  There are no shortcuts around this. These are the three principles of task management. Collect whatever needs to be collected, organise what you collect and then do the work.  This is something I have learned the hard way. I've collected thousands of items over the years, and in my early days, before I had learned the basic principles, that meant my inbox filled up and just became an overwhelming mess. It was a place I never wanted to visit because it just reminded me of how unproductive and disorganised I was.  I know those basic principles now: I collect stuff, regularly organise what I collect, and then do the work.  Today's podcast is about organising what you collected. I will tell you how to quickly clear your inbox, sort out the important from the unimportant, and, more importantly, get comfortable deleting stuff that is low in importance.  Oh, and before I forget, Friday this week—that's the 6th of September— sees the opening session of my Ultimate Productivity Workshop.  This is your chance to learn the fundamental principles and put them into practice so you can become a master of time management and productivity.  There are just a few places left, so if you want to become better organised, more productive, and in control of your time, join the workshop today. Details for the event are in the show notes and on my website, Carl Pullein.com. Okay, on with the show, which means it's time to hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question.  This week's question comes from Jeff. Jeff asks, “Hi Carl, I am really struggling with my inbox. I put a lot of stuff in there, from ideas to things my wife asks me to do and emails that need a response.  Each day, I feel I am collecting thirty or more things, and then it takes forever to clear the inbox. I hate doing it, so I don't. And, of course, that just makes things worse. What can I do to make keeping my inbox manageable.  Hi Jeff, Thank you for your question.  The good news is there are a few changes you can make that will help to reduce the overwhelm caused by an overloaded inbox.  Let's first deal with the three questions to ask when you process your inbox. These three questions will clarify what you have and help you to determine if you really need to do them or not.  The first question is, “Do I need to do it?” This is designed to clear tasks that have already been done or are no longer relevant because events have moved on.  You will often add a task like “Find out if Margo has all the documents she needs.” Later that day, Margo may ask you a question about the documents. You now know she has them. The task can be deleted or modified if the question requires you to do something.  Or you may have been asked by someone to do something only for them to tell you later that the task no longer needs to be done.  These can all be deleted.  Similarly, you may have added tasks to look up something or find out more about something, only to look at the task later and wonder what you were thinking. You are no longer interested in the idea. Again, delete these.  If the task still needs to be done, then move on to the next question, which is:  What do I need to do? This question concerns properly defining the task. It's not good to have a task that simply says, “Tony script.”  That might have meant something to you when you added it to your inbox, but if you do not need to do the task for a week or two, when the task comes back you'll be unsure what needs to be done. Make it clear.  Rewrite the task as something like, “Send Tony the amended voice-over script.” This makes sense. If you are sending Tony many different scripts, you would add the name of the amended script to send so there is no confusion.  Another type of task to watch out for is the “follow-up” or “chase” task. These are often not tasks. They may be vehicles for completing a task. For example, if you asked Roger for a copy of the script to send to Tony, the task is not really to chase Roger.  The task is to get a copy of the script to send to Tony. Until you have that script in your procession the task is not complete. Adding another task to chase Roger duplicates the original task.  Instead, after asking Roger for the task, make a note that you asked Roger for it, add a date you asked, and then reschedule the task.  Every task in your task manager needs an action verb attached to it, such as call, write, read, review, design, sketch, reply, etc. If a task does not have an action verb, it has not been properly defined.  You will find that adding a verb helps you to estimate how long something will take.  For those tasks that are difficult to estimate the time it will take, you can use the “start, continue, finish” method.  I use this method for a lot of project tasks. For example, when I was writing Your Time Your Way, every Monday to Friday, I had a repeating task that said, “Continue writing book”. This meant I could decide how much time I had available to write the book and not worry about the task itself.  I knew I was never going to finish writing the book in one day, it was the kind of task that jut needed to done little by little. So, I allocated ninety-minutes a day, five days a week and repeated that for six months. That got the book done.  The third question is: When am I going to do it? This is where most other time management and productivity systems go wrong. Establishing whether you need to do the task and defining what needs to be done is pretty universal in the productivity world. Yet, it doesn't matter how well you define a task if you don't have time to do it.  Once you commit yourself to a task, you need to know you have time to do it. That means asking, when are you going to do it?  How do you do that? Open up your calendar and your task manager and have them side by side. Some task managers can show you your calendar at the same time. Todoist, Tick Tick, and in a couple of weeks, Apple Reminders will do that for you.  What you are doing is looking to see where you have gaps in your schedule for doing the work.  Now, the task could be grouped with other similar tasks. Doing your expenses, for instance would be an admin task. Responding to an email would come under your communications.  But, some tasks may be too big and require a few hours to do. The question then becomes will you do in one go or split it up?  Your calendar will guide you. You will be able to see where you have time; if not, you can decide whether something else needs to be rescheduled for you to do the task by the date it's due.  Now, when you start going through your inbox and asking these questions, you will be slow. Remember when you learned to ride a bicycle? You didn't jump on the bike and go. There was a slow process of learning and building muscle memory.  The same will happen when processing your inbox. It will be slow at first as you're building your mental muscle memory.  I've been asking these three questions for years. It takes me very little time now, yet it was a slow process when I first began. The only option you have is to stick with it. As time goes on, you will get faster and faster.  You will also pick up the patterns. The different requests you get will fall into similar groups, which helps you quickly decide what something is and how long it will take.  Be patient and follow the process.  And… Do not be afraid to delete stuff. If it's important, it will come back.  If you are using the Time Sector System, you have a bit of an advantage. With the Time Sector System, the only tasks that matter are the ones you need to do this week. Anything else can be moved to your Next Week, This Month, Next Month or Long-term and on Hold folders. You can decide when you will do those tasks when you next do a weekly planning session.  So there you go, Jeff.  This is a process game. The more you follow the process, the faster you become. You also get comfortable deleting and delegating tasks. The goal is not to accumulate tasks; it's the reverse. The goal is always to eliminate. The less you have to do this week, the more focused you will be and the more flexibility you have for dealing with the unknowns that will inevitably come in.  I hope that has helped answer your question. Thank you so much for sending it.  Don't forget Friday is the start of September's ULTIMATE PRODUCTIVITY WORKSHOP. You can register by going to my website. If you are already registered, I will be sending you the workbook in the next day or two.  Thank you for listening and it just remains for me now to wish you all a very very productive week.

A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show. I know it can be easy for productive people to say all you need to do is this or that, and you, too, will be productive. The reality is it's not that simple.  It's not just about getting organised, reestablishing control of your calendar, and learning to use a to-do list properly; there's also a mindset shift involved.  Many people I work with individually have been told and come to believe that they are disorganised and sloppy with their time management. If you're told this too often and your actions support it, you begin to believe it. Being poor at time management and productivity becomes an identity.  Once you believe you are bad at these things, it becomes a self-fulfilling habit. Every attempt to become better organised and more productive will fail because you will sabotage your successes.  Your brain has an incredible capacity to reorganise and adapt. Just look at how people adapted to the lockdowns in 2020. There was resistance at first, then the adoption of new ways of doing things. Those who enjoyed exercise found ways to adapt their exercise programmes and work from home—something many people believed was impossible for them- but they soon discovered it was possible. Your brain can adapt and remodel itself using “neuroplasticity”. All you need is a stimulus—such as a determination to get organised and be better at managing your time—like muscles in response to exercise.  Sadly, most people don't try. They accept these negative patterns as just who they are. Yet it's not true. Your mindset and habits are not set at birth. You learn them. And that means you can unlearn them and develop better beliefs and habits.  So, with all that said, it's time to hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question.  This week's question comes from Wim. Wim asks, hi Carl, for years, I have tried to get myself organised and failed every time. I don't know what's wrong with me. I've read all the books, watched thousands of YouTube videos, and learned all the tricks. But for some reason, I can never do anything I learn. How would you help someone like me? Hi Wim, Thank you for your question. Part of the problem for people who struggle to get themselves organised is trying to do too much at once.  While we are good at changing things, we are not very good at changing everything. This is why it's often said that moving house is one of the most stressful things a person can do. Moving house is exciting, yet it also involves a lot of change.  That makes it uncomfortable. There's a new home, a new way to get to the supermarket, a different drive to work and new people to get to know in the neighbourhood.  Yet, after a few weeks, our new home becomes normal. We feel comfortable and safe, and the stress of the move disappears.  All change requires an initial period of discomfort. We make mistakes and forget to do something we should have done, and going through the actions feels like a huge effort for a small gain.  But we discovered during the pandemic that we can do it. We can adapt to change and do it quite quickly.  So, where do you begin?  As always, the best place to begin is with the basics. To get organised means learning and implementing the principles of COD—Collect, Organise and do.  When it comes to collecting, how will you gather together all the stuff you either have to do, would like to do or have a passing interest in?  For some, that may mean setting up their phones as their universal collection tool (UCT) or perhaps a pocket notebook.  If you choose to use your phone—possibly the best UCT as we carry these things with us everywhere we go (including the bathroom!) what application will you use?  The application you use for collecting is important because it needs to fulfil two requirements. First, it must be quick and easy to use. Too many buttons to press, and you won't collect everything. Second, you need to trust that what you collect will be saved and not lost.  A lack of either of those functions and it will fail.  Once you have your collection tool set up, the next area to work on is the habit of processing and organising what you collect. Done frequently, and this won't take a lot of time. Done infrequently, and it will take too long, which then means you won't do it.  I generally advise people to clear their inboxes every twenty-four to forty-eight hours. This depends on how much you are collecting. I find people just starting out with a system collect a lot more than seasoned people do.  That's actually a good thing because for the first few weeks, it's about building the habit. The old habit of trying to remember things in your head doesn't work, but it's an ingrained habit—“oh, I won't forget that”.  You will. Write it down.  If you are collecting a lot of stuff, clear your inbox daily. If you're collecting less than ten things a day, you can clear your inbox less frequently. (Although I do advise you to scan your inbox daily to ensure you haven't missed anything important). Now, when it comes to organising what you collected is a little more difficult. This requires some thought.  The goal is to find what you need as quickly as possible when you need it.  One thing that will hinder you here is if you have stuff all over the place. I have a policy of using tools for the purpose they were designed. This means I use one task manager, Todoist, for all my tasks.  This stops me from having to find stuff in multiple different places. When I start the day, I know all my tasks will be in one place.  This also helps with trust. I can trust that what needs to be done today will be on my Todoist Today list. Yet, this didn't happen overnight. It took many months of learning Todoist and building trust.  When I see people announcing on YouTube or social media that they have switched to another app, my eyes roll. I've seen it time and time again. If you constantly switch apps, you never build trust in your system. You're always learning a new tool, and things slip through the cracks.  Let me say this: you will never become better at managing time or more productive if you cannot settle on a set of tools and stick with them.  You are not missing out if a new app appears and promises to fix your productivity woes. That's just marketing. Stop falling for it.  The question is, how will you organise your stuff? I use the Time Sector System to organise my tasks, and my notes are organised using a methodology called GAPRA (Goals, Areas, Projects, Resources and Archive).  I have a lot of resources on these organisation methods on my website, so if you want to learn more about them, head over to Carl Pullein.com.  The final part is to do the work.  This involves getting control of your calendar.  Now, here's the thing. If you do not control your calendar or are ignoring it, you will always have difficulty managing your time. While your calendar is the simplest tool in your productivity toolbox, it's also the most powerful.  We all begin each day with the same amount of time. Yet we have different priorities and things we want time for. However, time is fixed. And that's a good thing. It means you have one constant you can work with.  The number of tasks coming at you is not something you can control. You have no idea what will happen today. You don't know how many emails and messages you will get; you don't know what your customers or boss will ask you to do. That side of the equation is not within your control.  Yet, I see so many people trying to control the uncontrollable. That's often where problems begin.  Instead, take some time and look at the different categories of things you need time for. Communications and admin will be two things. It's also likely you will need time for chores and planning. On top of that will be the work you are employed to do.  A lawyer will need time to read and write contracts, prepare cases for court and talk to clients. All this requires time. The question becomes how much time do you want to allocate to these activities each day?  For example, I know that if I dedicate two hours a day to content creation, an hour to communications, and thirty minutes to admin, I will never have any backlogs or be very far behind on my commitments. That's just three and a half hours a day to get important work done.  That means I have just over twenty hours for everything else each day. Take Louis, my dog, for his walk, eat, do chores, sleep and exercise, and, of course, spend time with my family and friends.  We are all different, and we will all have different priorities. Yet, if you control your calendar and are strict with how you allocate your time, you will find you do have time to get everything done. Perhaps not today or tomorrow, but you will have time over the next few weeks.  Doing what I call the backend work matters. That's deciding your priorities and using those to guide your days. If spending time with your family is important, you need to protect time to spend with your family. Hoping you will find time in the future is not a good strategy.  If you're sick and tired of seeing hundreds if not thousands of unread emails in your inbox, they won't disappear because you hope they will. You have to deliberately set aside time to deal with them and then protect time each day to ensure the backlogs don't reappear.  Similarly, if you have projects that are behind schedule, they will not miraculously get back on schedule if all you are applying is hope. You have to set aside time to do the work intentionally.  It's worth pointing out that no new, brilliant AI-inspired calendar or productivity tool will ever do the work for you either. You do the work. It's your time, and only you know what is critical and what is not.  This all comes back to the basic principles. Know what is important to you—develop your areas of focus. You can download my free Areas of Focus workbook from my website.  Make sure you collect and organise your stuff, set aside time to do the work, and then do the work.  It will take time to develop these habits. But it's not impossible if you really want to do it. Allow yourself that time, and within a few weeks you will begin to see notable improvements in your time management and productivity.  Thank you, Win, for your question, and thank you to you too for listening.  It just remains for me now to wish you all a very very productive week.
