Productivity Bootcamp Podcast

Do you want to know the secret to getting more done in less time? Do you have big goals and dreams, but they seem impossible to actually achieve?





Accomplishing your goals is so much easier when you make the transition from being busy to being productive. Yes, there is a BIG difference.





The old me was insanely busy … ALL.THE.TIME. I wore my tired and overworked lifestyle like a badge of honour. From the time I woke up until the time I crashed into bed, I was continuously working, whether it be my actual job, housework or running endless errands for my family. If I had an weekend off, I’d fill it with yard work or cleaning the house instead taking some much needed R&R. In the evenings, I’d busy myself with research or replying to emails and even spending time with my family often felt like another chore that I was checking off the list. I never seemed to have a minute free for myself and when I did, I felt really guilty about enjoying it.





Despite my never ending work schedule, I was actually accomplishing very little in life. Sure, the house was clean and my job was getting done, but my bigger goals and dreams? I just didn’t have the time or the energy for those things. So, what changed? Listen to my latest podcast to learn the THREE simple things I now do to make my life much more productive, achieve my biggest goals and allow me to have buttloads of precious me time!
