Launch Your Teens Podcast EPISODE 7
Title: The Surprising Way to Achieve More While Doing LESS (Part 1)
(10 min.)
We've all had those days. You have a mountain of work in front of you that you genuinely want to get done, but you find yourself procrastinating. Struggling to focus. Failing to get tasks completed.
What's the problem? It's probably not that your time management system has failed. It's probably not that there “just aren’t enough hours in the day.” Instead, you're far more likely to be suffering from a crisis of energy. You may have drained all your energy by running yourself too fast and too hard for too long, and you're long overdue for replenishment.
The good news? It's fixable.
Today's episode is a must listen for both parents and students ages 12–26. Listen in the car on the way to soccer practice!
In this episode, you’ll learn:
1. How a simple kitchen timer helped a university student to invent a productivity method that is still in use around the world today.
2. How to find an online quiz, designed by a medical doctor, that will tell you which of 7 types of rest you are likely low in. Correct your particular rest deficit, and you'll be able to replenish energy and—as a result—significantly increase productivity and overall life and work satisfaction.
