You know how satisfying it is to have a good, solid productive day — a day where we accomplish what we set out to accomplish and make progress on our goals. 

We feel balanced, rested and like it was a day well spent.

In this episode of the Learn and Work Smarter podcast, I share my personal strategy for having a productive day. I’ve been using this method for years (can I call it a method? I’m going to) and I figured if sharing it on the show helps just one person, it’s worth it.

Nowhere in this episode will you hear me say “work harder” or ”stay up later” to check off tasks on your to-do list. 

Instead, I teach you my three-bucket approach to intentionally prioritizing your tasks so you close out your day feeling balanced and satisfied.

After all -- we never stop learning, right?
