    Your first sprint goal doesn’t matter (and what actually does)

    What if the reason you’re stuck isn’t the goal you picked — but the fact that you’re trying to pick the "perfect" one? In this episode, I share why your first sprint goal barely matters, what the first sprint is really for, and why messy starts often lead to the most meaningful progress. If you’ve ever felt busy but not truly moving forward, this might change how you begin.

    Fisher-Price Simplicity

    What if your life and projects were as simple and durable as a Fisher-Price toy? In this episode, I talk about the Fisher-Price simplicity, how I've learned about it, and how it inspired me to apply it in my own life. I talk about how my pursuit of elegance and optimization often led to unnecessary complexity, and why I’m choosing to rebuild my foundations on simplicity instead. Think: fewer frills, fewer moving parts, more durability, and more ease. If you’ve been feeling paralyzed by over-optimization or weighed down by layers of complexity, this framework might help you get back to basics. 👉 Want support as you simplify and focus on what really matters?

    Why You Need a Cool-Off Week: Lessons from Agriculture

    In this episode, I share a fresh perspective on why rest is essential for productivity—through the lens of agriculture. Just as farmers rotate crops and allow fields to rest to maintain soil health, we too need scheduled breaks to protect our focus, creativity, and long-term output. I talk about: The silent crisis of soil depletion and what it teaches us about sustainability.Why rotating crops and letting fields rest is the perfect metaphor for how we should structure our own work.The importance of proactively scheduling breaks (like cool-off weeks) before life forces us to rest through burnout, sickness, or accidents.What a cool-off week actually looks like in practice: serving clients, answering emails, maintaining—but not pushing for new projects.How to embrace being a “B minus” worker for a week and why your B minus is probably still a solid B.This episode is about reframing rest not as laziness, but as a vital strategy for longevity, health, and sustainable productivity. 00:00 Introduction to the Cool Off Week 00:34 Understanding Soil Health and Agriculture 02:18 The Importance of Resting Fields 03:16 Government Initiatives and Soil Health 04:03 Applying Agricultural Principles to Productivity 05:24 Practical Tips for a Cool Off Week 07:04 Conclusion and Final Thoughts Join the Focus Room: https://monthlymethod.com/focus-room/ ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
