In this episode of The Wholistic Productivity Podcast, host Chris LeBrun breaks down the four essential ingredients of sustainable productivity — Planning, Performance, Time Management, and Systems — and shows how each one contributes to a more balanced, goal-driven life.
Through relatable cooking analogies and practical takeaways, Chris explains how true productivity isn’t about grinding harder but about creating the right recipe for success. You’ll learn how to align your goals with your values, execute with purpose, manage your time by focusing your attention, and build systems that make productivity second nature.
He also shares how perfection is the enemy of progress — and why many of the best systems are born from failure, iteration, and self-awareness.
Whether you’re refining your daily routines, designing better workflows, or simply trying to get more done without burning out, this episode will help you blend these four key ingredients into your most productive life yet.
