One Intentional Life Podcast

Productivity is more than trying to get out of the office by 5 Friday afternoon, it’s about building a life you love and focusing on the work that matters to you. In our podcast, we are breaking down productivity by sharing personal, down to earth, stories and struggles combining meaningful and intentional action steps with practical tips and tricks. It’s our hope that this podcast will open your eyes to the “why” behind the productivity. Defining purpose to your life and building systems to help you get more done, have less stress, manage your energy, define goals, and more! You don’t have to be a self-help junkie or productivity nut to enjoy this show. We’ve done all the research and have spent years reading books and articles, testing apps and products, and implementing many productivity systems into our own lives. By listening to this show, you can learn from our mistakes and learn how to connect purpose with productivity.

    Waiting For List

    The waiting for list is a piece of the Getting Things Done methodology that helps you keep track of things that are not on your action list, but most likely someone else's action list. It's a simple way to clear up psychic weight and not forget opportunities that you might need to followed-up on. Checkout out my article, Can’t Keep up? Make a Waiting For List, about the waiting for list. Previous GTD Related Episodes: Reviewing Processing Tasks Brain Dump

    Processing Tasks

    Processing tasks is an important life skill that can help you take all the information you receive in life and turn it into action. The Four Steps to Processing Tasks: Drop - The majority of your potential tasks should not be done. Learning to filter out what's most important is a key skill to being more intentional and productive in life. Do - The 2-minute rule teaches us that if something will only take moment, it is better to do it immediately than try and sort it into a productivity system and do later. Defer - Sometimes we can't do work immediately. Setting a specific time or context to a task will greatly improve your chances of getting it done in a timely manner. Delegate - If there is work that needs done, but you do not necessarily have to be the one to do it, delegating the work with technology, co-worker, or freelancer is a great skill to better do the work you were made to do. Bonus: Store - Sometimes when processing information we discover that something is not a tasks but just reference material for a project, or just useful information we might want to see again later.
