How to beat procrastination and be productive
I got to chat with Paul Minors, who is based in New Zealand. He's quite the inspiration for a variety of reasons. First, he started off his business as a 'side-hustle' and then quickly discovered that Productivity is his 'How'. As we are all in this COVID-19 situation, we may find ourselves with a little more time and maybe it's time to shift into trying a new adventure of starting a small business. So here are the topics that we covered on how to beat procrastination, the power of time blocking and so much more.
- How to beat Procrastination
- The value of stop starting
- The magic of time blocking
- How tasks are good intentions
- We also somehow end up talking about baking, Lockdown Loaf
I hope you'll enjoy this episode and more importantly, staying safe.
Quotes:
"You can be more productive if you follow the right habits and if you are disciplined enough to follow the right routines and use your tools and technology correctly."
"By being disciplined, you're following better routines, you're being more productive, and if you're getting more done, and being more efficient with your time, you're actually creating more freedom in your life now because you have more free time. Discipline is like a prerequisite for freedom in your life."
"I'm a big fan of this productivity method called time blocking I don't know what it is actually called, but I call it time blocking or block scheduling you have probably come into different terms before but it is basically this practice of taking task and maybe you have a task list or a notebook with it to list of things that you need to do, or maybe it is just in your head whatever it is, you are taking the task that you need to do and you are actually putting them on into your calendar and blocking up time to do that task."

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
