On today’s show, I talk with David Finkel, time management and productivity expert, and author of the book, The Freedom Formula: How to Succeed in Business without Sacrificing Your Family, Health, or Life. 

We’re all searching for ways to get more productive, get smarter about how we spend our time, and avoid burnout. I don’t know about you, but ironically, I feel busier than ever during this COVID-19 lockdown, and I’m searching for ways to get smarter about how I spend my time. In this episode, you’ll get practical advice on how to get more out of your day and become a better investor, leader, spouse, parent, and friend. 


IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN:

  • It’s not about how much time we spend on work, it’s about how we spend our time
  • How to structure our day more like Warren Buffett
  • The difference between the “Time & Effort Economy” and the “Value Economy”
  • Why we should divide our days up between Focus Days and Push days
  • Why we should think of time management as a buffet meal and eat our veggies first
  • The five obstacles that are holding us back from being super-productive and how to overcome them
  • Three tips to improving how we manage email
  • Why employing an assistant is a super-power, but you have to use them wisely
