    This is how professionals actually get more done without working late

    Take Command of Your Day with the Daily Domination Board Gear up for the new year  The fastest path to real high performance isn’t a new app or a 4 a.m. alarm—it’s a cleaner day. We walk through a lightweight Daily Domination workflow that gets tasks out of your head, into a simple Trello board, and moving from To-Do to Done without drama. No complex frameworks, no calendar chaos—just a clear loop you can trust: dump, sequence, execute, reflect, and bucketize. We start by capturing everything—client work, admin, errands, and even the tiny tasks that clog your attention. Then we show how to order your day for leverage, move one card at a time into Doing, and use the Done column to build visible momentum. The heart of the conversation is reflection: measuring your say–do ratio with honesty, finding the tasks that stall, and deciding whether to split them, schedule them, or delete them. You’ll hear how to protect evenings if planning triggers late-night work, and why consistency beats sophistication every time. From there, we dig into bucketizing with labels—Work, Chores, Family, Fitness, or custom categories like Client Delivery, Pipeline, and Broadcasting. Color coding makes patterns obvious so you can steer your time toward what actually matters. You’ll learn how to evolve labels on the fly, personalize the system to your world, and use weekly reviews to course-correct without beating yourself up. Along the way, we share community wins, practical caveats, and the small habits that keep the board useful when life gets loud. Ready to trade overwhelm for clarity? Grab the Daily Domination template, try a single day of the loop, and tell us what changed. If this helped, subscribe, share it with a friend who drowns in to-dos, and leave a quick review so more pros can find their flow.

In this eye-opening episode, Jesse breaks down a deceptively simple framework for identifying exactly which tasks in your life and business should be automated or outsourced. Using a visual "bucket and drops" system, you'll discover how to categorize your work, break large responsibilities into manageable components, and analyze frequency patterns to make strategic delegation decisions. What makes this approach different isn't just the practical methodology, but Jesse's candid acknowledgment of the real barrier most professionals face: "The solution for getting comfortable with the idea of outsourcing or automating is reps." He shares personal examples from his own podcast production journey, revealing how he transitioned from doing everything himself to focusing solely on the interviews while delegating all other aspects to his team.

Jesse offers specific tactics for getting started, including how to use AI tools to identify automation opportunities and how to begin with lower-risk monthly tasks if you're hesitant about letting go.

    Why Your Personal Goals Keep Getting Pushed Aside (And How To Fix It)

    The Guilt-Free Future Planning method helps prioritize personal goals that consistently get pushed aside when we're busy making things happen for everyone else. This three-step process—Brain Dump, DAMN Matrix, and Walking the Plank—creates a framework for getting your goals out of your head, prioritizing them, and committing to action. • Brain Dump: List all your goals in three categories—business/professional growth, personal growth, and meaningful connections • Focus only on what YOU want, not what others expect of you • DAMN Matrix: Prioritize goals based on impact (high/low) and effort (high/low) • Start with high impact/low effort goals to build momentum • Walking the Plank: Commit to goals one at a time in priority order • Block time in your calendar specifically for your personal goals • This method is part of a larger Self-First Time Mastery approach • Momentum matters more than completion—just start making progress If you want to try this method, download the template using the link provided. For those who prefer learning with community, sign up for the full Self-First Time Mastery workshop where we'll cover guilt-free future planning, strategically selfish scheduling, and daily domination.
