You don’t need more time. You don’t need more motivation or inspiration or another planner, course, shiny object, or time management method… you more attention. And LESS distractions and clutter. 

I recently did an episode on Time Management and Experiments in Productivity, and today we’re going to bring a fresh spin as we get into attention management, reducing distractions, and freeing yourself of mental clutter! My goal is that this episode will help you reduce and eliminate and feel less frazzled, distracted, and ahhhh more focused. 

In the episode: 

  • What if time isn't the problem? 
  • The nature and stats of distraction (it's not your fault!) 
  • How to choose where your attention goes based on seasons, balance, and what you need in your business 
  • 4 Ways to distraction-proof yourself 
    • Setting up your "In the Zone" zone 
    • Using weekly and daily attention-setting goals 
    • Ruthlessly filtering inputs
    • Distraction-proofing is a lifestyle 
  • And more!

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
