    What Does It Mean to be Productive?

If you treat everything like it’s a top priority, nothing really is. This week, we'll break down how to shift your focus, set clear priorities, and stop wasting time on the wrong stuff. Start by asking: what’s the first next thing I need to do?

    How You Journal Is Up to You

    Here’s How I Do It I see my daily routine of journaling as one of the most productive things I do. My journal has evolved from simple prompts in 2013 to a tool that helps me look back to see what I did well and where I need to do better. If you’ve ever thought journaling was just a diary, this might change your mind. You don’t need to journal like I do. You just need to start.

    Why Do So Few People Journal?

    Ever feel like journaling is just another thing on a never-ending to-do list? You’re not alone. Most people never stick with it and I used to be one of them. But after a life-altering accident in 2012, everything changed. In this episode, I’m sharing why journaling became a daily habit, how it helped me get clear on my purpose, and why it’s one of the most powerful tools I use to stay focused and build a better life and business. If you’ve been feeling stuck, scattered, or just worn out by the chaos—this might be exactly what you need.

    What Does It Mean To Journal?

    Here’s Why I Do It Journaling. What does it really mean to journal? It’s a question I’ve been asking myself a lot lately. I journal three times a day and I’ve been doing this consistently for a little over twelve years. But why? Before then, I had made a few weak attempts at journaling. But to no avail. There were always other things that I needed to do, keeping me from making it a habit. Then something changed.

    Finding the Balance in Our Busy Lives

    This Can Be Hard to Do We tend to be binary thinkers. We assume things have to be one way or the other, ignoring the nuances and complexities of life. But that kind of thinking doesn’t work well in balancing your life. So how do we find that balance? Sure, sometimes there are only two choices. When choosing between right and wrong or good and evil, I believe this is the case. But most of life? It’s lived in the middle. And if we only see two options, we’ll stop trying to find balance altogether.

    What Should Be Done First?

    An Example of a To Do List Triage Everything in life comes down to decisions. The decisions we make affect the outcome.  This past Sunday morning I was running behind schedule due to decisions I made Saturday evening, which were the results of something that happened Friday evening. I can’t go back and change the past, so this gives me a fixed time to get things done. How do I decide what to do and what not to do?

It’s amazing how much can be accomplished when there’s a deadline.
