The Task Management & Time Blocking Podcast

You are in charge of implementing your company’s new strategic plan. It includes some brilliant new ideas which should shake up your industry, and even introduce the world to a new category of products and services. But you are a bit wary because prior strategic plans barely made it off the PowerPoint pages. They weren’t implemented due to a common complaint - no-one had the time. You have every reason to be worried, but what should you do about the problem? Tune into this episode to join me in tackling this wicked problem from two perspectives at once…task management and strategic planning.

You’re someone who launches personal projects to improve your task management. You have made a number of changes in the past, but you haven’t seen the impact you wanted from each effort. Is there something going on that you cannot see? Are some changes more fruitful than others? After all, you know a thing or two about systemic change: that seemingly small improvements can yield disproportionate, breakthrough results. It applies to other areas of life…but how about your task management? Tune into this episode to hear from me and my special guest, Danielle Baily, as we tackle this challenging problem together.

You are a productivity enthusiast who has been around task management for a while. Over the years, you have made lots of useful improvements and can say that you have made tangible progress. However, it’s been some time since you felt that *before* and *after* feeling… where you had a productivity problem, found a solution, implemented it and saw positive outcomes.  Getting that feeling of making progress is much more difficult. You just can’t find the improvements you want by following anyone’s one-size-fits-all approach. Somehow, you must find your own way.  If this is your first time listening to this podcast, you may not know that there are many others just like you.  But they don’t just listen to this podcast to hear from experts. They attend my conference on Task Management & Time Blocking, read my book, join the Mighty taskers community and enjoy the training I offer. And they find other thought leaders in the vast world beyond one-size-fits-all solutions which help them continue their improvement journey. Not that this is the easy path to follow. It definitely is not. But it’s the one that bears the greatest fruit in the long run. It requires fresh skills in self-diagnosis in your task management and time blocking. If this engages you in any way, welcome to Season 2 of the Task Management & Time Blocking Podcast. Subscribe to the podcast and you'll never miss another episode!

So you made lots of progress in your task management in the past - you are no beginner. You probably read some books and followed some sound ideas and found yourself getting more effect, and more productive, and making fewer errors. But lately…you feel as if you have stalled. You’re no longer growing in leaps and bounds the way you used to, and you miss that growth you once experienced. Now, changes come slowly, if at all. What can you do about it? You’re tempted to give up and move onto something different because…well, there are other places in life where you can put in some effort and see some results. But is that the tactic you really want? To give up? Do you have a choice? Are there alternatives? Tune into this episode to hear from me and my special guest, Dr Bret Atkins, as we solve this challenging problem together.

You are a productivity enthusiast, someone who loves to grow and learn in the area of your task management. You are aware of most of the gurus out there - the inventors of practices like GTD, apps like Todoist and devices like the Bullet Journal. You also have realized at some point - maybe a long time ago, or just as you are listening to this episode, that one size does not fit all. In other words, even though gurus and developer claim that they have figured everything out, you know that’s not true. You have been around long enough to distrust anyone who tells you that they have the perfect solution. But is that enough? Perhaps this realization is just the beginning of a new journey.  In this solo episode I will look at the issues we all have with one-size-fits-all thinking and what you can do about it in the short-term and long-term.
