Make the most out of your 24 hours every day!
If your biggest side hustle holdup is a lack of time, these posts and podcasts episodes will help you build more efficiency into your weeks.
Productivity is a constant journey and I’m always experimenting with new hacks and tactics.
In a decade of studying productivity methods and “hacks”, I’ve found that just a handful of keystone habits tend to make the biggest impact on my personal productivity.
Those keystone habits are:
These are the habits I baked into The Progress Journal. It’s a physical paperback journal I use to keep me on track and making meaningful progress.
It’s not a huge time commitment or massive lifestyle shift. In fact, using this journal should take less than 5 minutes a day.
What are the quick, simple, and maybe a little “weird” productivity tricks entrepreneurs use to get more done? Well, I’m always curious about that myself so I decided to ask 26 of my most productive and successful friends for the “hacks” and tools they use every day. (And I added in one of my own … Read more
Have you ever tried to get healthier and lose weight, but lost motivation before reaching your goals?
Perhaps you’ve gone as far as buying a gym membership or expensive exercise equipment only for them go unused after your initial commitment.
But what if you could lose weight and make money doing it? Would that be enough motivation to stick with your exercise and diet regimen?
What do you want your life to look like in 3-5 years?
Once you know—and commit— to that future, you can begin building it NOW.
Happy New Year! May this be a year of stacking up incremental improvements and optimizations — getting 1% better every day — that’s the idea.
To help out with that goal, I’m excited to introduce Chris Hutchins. He’s a serial entrepreneur, a new dad, a professional life optimizer, and host of the new AllTheHacks podcast.
The stated mission of All the Hacks is to help listeners upgrade every aspect of their life while spending less and saving more.
Struggling to perform at your best from the moment you wake till you go to sleep at night?
In today’s episode, we’re talking about a key component of your physical and mental foundation to be a high-performing human, and one that we probably don’t give a lot of thought to.
Still, it’s something you spend roughly a third of your life doing, so it’s a huge lever to pull in terms of optimizing your energy and your output in the world.
Yes, we’re talking about sleep.
How do you make time for a side hustle?
That’s one of the questions I get the most, and one of the reasons we return to the theme of productivity so often.
In this post (and podcast episode), I’ll share a 10-step process for making — and optimizing — time for your business, inspired by Side Hustle Show guests.
What little purchases or changes have you made that had an outsized impact on your overall happiness?
This is something of a sport in our house.
We’re all dealt 24 hours a day. I believe how you spend that time, or maybe rather how you invest it, should give you some sort of return.
That could be a monetary return, sure. But it could also be a return in personal satisfaction or impact on others.
Today, I want to introduce a productivity framework I’m calling The Productivity Pyramid.
Sometimes the simplest solutions are the most effective.
This post (and podcast episode) are inspired by my presentation at FinCon last month. I broke my own rule of not seeking out any speaking gigs, and submitted for a breakout session.
The idea was a bit of an homage to the conference: 10 FinCon Breakthroughs that Tripled My Business.
The hard truth is that we all have a limit to our capacity and how much we can do in and on our businesses — and that’s a tough pill to swallow for some entrepreneurs and small business owners.
But when you’re up against that ceiling you have to decide between two options — you can settle in, like OK, this is my life now. Or you can ask for help in breaking through, and that’s what this episode is about.
Growing your team in such a way that you have some breathing room in your schedule and in your mental bandwidth to do the work that’s required of a business owner, instead of the work of the business doer– to borrow from Sean Marshall in episode 312.
