Episode notes
Productivity Means Doing Less, With Focus
- Productivity is not about doing more; it's about ruthless focus on fewer things.
- Limited time forces selectivity, which prevents burnout and increases impact.
Regularly Cull Your To‑Do List
- Regularly review your to-do list and ask which items are essential, not merely useful.
- Cut nonessentials so your list shrinks and your results improve.
One Priority Per Life Bucket
- Choose one priority per life bucket (e.g., business, health, relationships) to maintain clarity.
- Use that single priority to decide what to say no to and preserve focus.
