Do you ever wonder how much time is wasted in your workplace because a request takes someone away from something more pressing or simply a better use of their time? No one can be expected to know every little detail about the inner workings of a company and its employees – and, with working from home, this is truer now than it’s ever been before.

It might sound silly, but think about it. Let’s say you’ve set time aside to work on your ONE Thing, but then you get a call from your boss. Are you going to finish what you’re doing or drop it in order to be a people-pleaser? Most of you would do the latter. But in all likelihood, only you know the best use of your time within your job because you’re the only person spending as much time doing it.

This sense of trust and freedom to prioritize your workload as you see fit is a staple of our corporate culture at ProduKtive, and it’s something that Sarah Hendricks is still getting used to. It makes sense, but pushing back when people ask you for your time is easier said than done. 

By the end of our conversation, she’s almost a different person, one who sees true value in putting her ONE Thing above all else.

It’s only January, but you could already be behind on your goals.

The purpose of a goal is to be appropriate in the moment; it’s not about achieving a result. That means there are things you should be doing, starting January 1st, to ensure you’re on track for where you want to go by December 31st. Of course, most people don’t think this way. They may not have even set those goals. If you are not clear about what you need to be doing, this week, right now, to achieve your goals by the end of the year, you are falling behind.

In this episode, we give you a healthy lens through which to view your goals at the beginning of the year and teach you how to set yourself up for success by playing with a lead.

As we step into a new year, we often take stock of our goals and ambitions. But hang on, if you do this every year, how often do you set targets, then look back at the end of the year only to realize you could have done better? Chances are, there are a few fundamental issues with how you’re thinking about goal setting.

One of the major pitfalls that trips people up with resolutions is that they set their goals, then they don’t think about them until the end of the year when it’s time to see if they succeeded or not. Think about applying that logic to any other aspect of your life. It makes about as much sense as leaving raw ingredients out and returning to the kitchen expecting them to be cooked and prepared as a meal. Not only will they not be cooked, but some ingredients may even spoil in the time you’ve waited.

Or, we discuss another example: you’ve met someone you like, romantically. If you really hit it off and you like each other, you’re not going to say, “Let’s check in with each other a year from now and see how this is going” are you? Of course not; that’d be crazy. Why would you treat a relationship with your goals the same way? 

Tune in to this important episode before making your list of resolutions. Let’s break down the best way to approach annual goals so that they become a compass to guide our decisions throughout the year. The game has started. Now, it’s time to build a lead.

We’ve reached the final episode in our six-part series exploring the benefits of the ProduKtive System, our proven method for applying The ONE Thing to your life, such that by doing it, everything else becomes easier or unnecessary. Sometimes, good habits are all you need, but getting them to stick can be easier said than done. Let’s explore how we can build them into our lives with intentionality. 

Chances are, you’ve heard the idea that all you need to make seismic changes in your life are a few good habits. Many of us roll our eyes and dismiss the notion. If you want to lose weight, it’s easy to say, “Just form the habit of working out.” If it was that easy, you’d already be as fit as a pro athlete.

The secret to all of this is that it actually is that easy. You just need to know what habits to form to get you from A to B. More often than not, that takes breaking down both cause and effect. What are the reasons you’re not achieving or maximizing your goals? What can you do to change that? That’s where our habit building should focus. And that’s the topic of this episode of the podcast. 

In part five of our six-part series on the ProduKtive System, our proven method for applying The ONE Thing to your life, we look at taking action. It’s easy to read about carving out blocks of time intentionally and with purpose. But when it comes to actually turning down time with family or saying “No” to people, it can be a different story. 

That’s what the ProduKtive System is here for. There are common traps people fall into, but if you put the concepts into action, you’ll find yourself living your ONE Thing in no time.

In this episode, we show you the four steps to effectively blocking out time for productivity: build your bunker, store provisions, sweep it for mines, and enlist support. Listen to find out what each of these steps entails. Doing so can save you so much time in the long run.

These rules for living are easily discussed, but putting them into practice can be a different story. Tune in to learn how to live your ONE Thing, instead dreaming about it.

This is part four of a six-part series diving into the ProduKtive System, our proven method for implementing the principles of The ONE Thing into your life. While these principles are surprisingly simple to understand, they can be challenging to put into practice. Today we focus on how you can prioritize things so that you can stay on track to hit your daily, monthly, and yearly goals.

It might seem like merely knowing what you should be doing is enough, we know that’s never the case. People struggle to bridge the gap between their yearly plan and what they need to accomplish this week. They are often reactive when they need to be proactive and they struggle to say no to the things that don’t matter as much. 

In this episode, we unravel each of these ideas so that you can learn how to overcome them and achieve greater results in less time.
