Episode 638: Being More Productive and Combatting Overwhelm with Charlie Gilkey

Nov 6, 2024

We're re-airing an episode with one of my favorite guests - Charlie Gilkey! Charlie offers valuable insights that apply to anyone looking to get more done, whether you're a business owner or simply navigating the demands of everyday life. Who doesn’t want to be more productive? Am I right? 

As a sought-after advisor and speaker, Charlie shares his wisdom on overcoming overwhelm and overload, why we tend to neglect self-care, and practical time-blocking strategies to boost productivity. Listen in as we revisit our conversation on the behaviors that sabotage productivity, how to handle those “WTF” moments, and the importance of staying present.

You’ll hear:

  • Combatting overwhelm by looking at your ‘overload’ (5:04)
  • Time blocking and how it can be used to help us be more productive (6:02)
  • Illuminating “invisible tasks”, such as turning off the lights or cleaning up after your family (9:05)
  • Why self-care is typically last on our to-do list and the first to get pushed off (12:55)
  • Courage, boundaries, and discipline; how they relate to each other (21:59)
