3 Productivity Habits to Get Unstuck Fast

If you’re always busy but never making progress, this is the reset you need.

Let’s be real. If your calendar is packed but you still feel stuck, something’s broken. In this episode of Bad Day Excellence, I break down 3 productivity habits that actually help you move the needle instead of just putting out fires.

These aren’t hacks. They’re habits. Built to protect your energy, automate what matters, and help you focus like a machine. Even if your brain runs wild with ADHD like mine.

We’ll get into:

• My “Daily 3” time-blocking ritual

• 90-minute focus sprints that actually stick

• The ADD Exercise (Automate, Delegate, Delete) that clears your plate and your mind

I share real-life examples from my own messy journey too. Like the email habit that tricked me into feeling productive when I wasn’t, and the exact way I rewired it.

No fluff. Just straight talk, strong opinions, and simple systems that work.

🎯 This week’s challenge: Pick ONE of these productivity habits and commit to it for 4 weeks. Don’t try to do all three at once. Start with one and make it automatic.
