In this episode I continue to fight against traditional productivity advice which assumes that people need to be disciplined to be successful... uh. huh. I ask if we approach productivity from a point of being in service to oneself, the idea of "disciplining yourself" doesn't make 100% sense 🤔 I also poke at the idea of "perfect productivity" which…

AI has had a lot of hate recently, but honestly... I think it does have a space to play, it'll never replace "human to human interaction" - but I think it can make things just that little bit easier for many of us!

In this episode, I redefine what a system is and explain why it matters when starting from you. A system is a bunch of components or parts of a system that come together to do something.

I get asked what a system is on a daily basis, and it's something I've not been able to describe, as it's one of those head-y things that no one can truly understand.

Knowing how you spend your time is incredibly helpful, especially if you struggle with "time blindness" and even more so when you "feel" it takes far longer than it actually does. There are lots of amazing tools out there, like Toggl Track, Clockify, and more, but they all have one small problem for me; they require my input and I have to interrupt…

We all love tools, and when used correctly they can support you in creating a system that fits you but when you build a system around the features of a tool you'll find that issues occur.

Systems are everywhere in the entrepreneurial world telling you that their system is the best and they're not entirely correct... It's the right system for them.

The concept of awareness as a net good has been going around the personal development world for what feels like forever, and I absolutely agree that it's a fantastic thing, but just not as it's actually taught.

Over the past couple of years, a sort of cult has built up around the concept of discipline. There are life hackers, gurus, and self proclaimed "experts" that are constantly telling us that if you want to be successful, you just need to have the discipline. Unfortunately, the absolute opposite is true. Join me today and find out why discipline isn'…

When clients come to me, they are frequently overwhelmed, and you may relate. It's accepted that things in entrepreneurship can be fast-paced, complex, and overwhelming, but that's not the problem. The problem is we've been taught that making a list and prioritising it is the best way to deal with overwhelm. It's close, but not quite right: Join me…

As an entrepreneur, one of the most frustrating and time-consuming things you have to do is search for the right tool for a particular job.

People tend to think of designing systems and having the end goal be perfection. That one day you'll be able to figure out the perfect system with the perfect arrangement of if thans and all the contingency planed for and the system will be done. These type of system though are actually absolutely useless. You wanna know why? Because you're human a…

We all have things we're not good at, but we have to do. In my case, it's numbers in yours it might be marketing or sales calls.

Everybody thinks that simplicity means less, do less, have less and somehow that makes things better? Accept It's not true.

You've tried all the things, you've put in a fuck-ton of work, you've followed the advice and bought all the courses and have found some success yet you are constantly on the back foot trying to battle a loosing fight and realise you're gonna burn out if you continue.

7 recording attempts later, I created this podcast trailer. It doesn't quite follow the traditional outline. But it does show exactly what to expect. So I guess that works? Right?
