If you are listening to this episode when it is released then you know, Tomorrow is a special day. I want to talk about this special day and honor some of the very special people in my life. It is international women’s day tomorrow. I still remember when I was in school, the newspaper that we used to get at our home always had a special edition for this day. There used to be a lot of articles, interviews and inspiring stories of inspiring women all over the world. I always loved reading that special edition. I used to feel inspired to do something big, something spectacular.
 On the special occasion of international women’s day, I want to honor some of the very special women in my life who inspired me, helped me believe that I can do anything in the world, I can be anything. Here is to all those women who helped me become who I am today.

Do you have a to-do list, or you just don’t get around creating one? Are you able to cross off all the items in your to-do list every day or you feel demotivated as most of the items in your to-do list are not done? Do you feel overwhelmed by your to-do list, or you feel more in control by looking at your to-do list? If you are listening to this episode, chances are you have created a to-do list at least at some point. If you always struggle to keep up with the to-do list, then this episode is for you. If you want to create a more efficient to-do list, then this episode is for you. If you want to create a to-do list that actually works then this episode is for you. So, let’s jump right into today’s episode - Episode 84 - 4 Reasons why your to-do list is not working.

I created my vision board for the first time in 2021. I had a board full of dreams and hopes. Some of them came true, some of them are over their way to complete and some of them, well, to put it politely didn't even come close.
I am reviewing my last year's vision board with you. I am also going to spill some beans about the vision board for the year 2022, Did I even make one? Did I add the goals or part away with some? Let's catch up in this episode.

“I help women business owners to get up to 20 hours a day back from their business with an exercise that transforms their to-do lists.”
Minessa Konecky (said koh/neh/kee) is a business overwhelm coach and live streamer searching for her dream home in the south shore of Massachusetts. Despite running a 7-figure a year business with her sister, she was completely bought into the hustling lifestyle, and never felt happy. After being diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, which was starting to escalate, she realized that there had to be a better way of running a business than killing yourself and hating your life while you were doing it. She got really clear on her vision. She created a system that she’s used to helping thousands of women cut their to-do lists in half, and go to bed feeling like badasses instead of behind on their to-do lists. It’s quick and simple and will transform how you feel when you go to bed at night from behind on your to-do list to feeling like you accomplished something.

There’s a real sense of pride when you do something yourself. Sure outsourcing can be relieving but there’s a tonne of research into how we value things we build ourselves. There’s even something called The IKEA Effect according to Dr Marny Lishman. We can take the pride we get from building things ourselves, and apply it to our personal lives; cause we’re building them every day!

Sometimes getting up and getting started with the day is a challenge. The bed feels so good and you start to think about all of the things you have to do and decide to sleep for a few more minutes. Next thing you know, you've overslept and are late for work. This leads to a spiral that can send your day down into the dumps. 

Having a productive day doesn't necessarily require you to wake up super early in the morning. But there are a few things that need to happen to ensure your day goes well and you tackle the to-do list.

I brought my friends and productivity fairy godmother, Holly Haynes to share her secrets of how she stays productive. As a wife and mom of twins that work full time AND have a full-time coaching business, I think she knows a thing or two that can help us out with our productivity.

In this episode Holly shares:

• How to structure your day efficiently so that you actually are able to get what you need to be done without it being overwhelming.
• Why you need a morning routine and what to include in your morning routine to help you have a productive day.
• Her method to determining what you need to tackle first on your to-do list

If you need a little magic from the productivity fairy godmother, make sure to check out the full episode.

ABOUT HOLLY
Holly helps female entrepreneurs take back control of their time with proven productivity techniques, systems, and structure to create a strategy that scales long term. An industry expert, host of the Crush the Rush Podcast and featured Thrive author with a 20-year business consulting background with Fortune 500 companies, Holly runs her strategic coaching business and the Crush the Rush planner company while raising her twin daughters with her husband in addition to working for a non-profit in Columbus, Ohio.

If you've ever uttered the phrase "I'm so busy" as an entrepreneur, this episode is for you.

So often, we frame busy as a badge of honour. But when busy remains unchecked - it can quickly become a burden and lead to burnout. 

We're chatting in this episode all about...

• how being busy feel like a value judgement 
• why busy can turn the things you love doing into a task on a to-do list
• how the shift to priority-based planning changed how we run our business
• why the comparison game is creating an unhealthy hustle culture
• noticing how other peoples' priorities are making you busier than you need to be
• why shifting out of busy and into productive brings joy into your life

 Last week, I talked about Fear of Missing Out. While talking about that topic, I realized that we all are in a crunch of time. Most of the time, when someone asks you about your day, you reply saying how busy you are these days. I am no different. I have said so many times on this podcast that it was a busy week or a busy month, so on and so forth. I consider myself a very organized person but still most of the time I feel I am running out of energy and time to accomplish my daily tasks. Today, I want to talk about organizing our time in a better way so that we feel more accomplished and yet peaceful. This is no easy feat my friend.  Tackling all your to-do lists, being productive and still feeling calm is like an elusive combination. But, it won’t hurt to try, right? So, let’s start discussing some simple ways to organize your time in a better way. Shall we?

Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed by all of the things you need to juggle in order to be a good... anything? A good partner, a good parent, a good worker, a good friend? And in the end, it feels like you never have enough time and energy to focus on what really matters to YOU?

In this final episode of Season 7, Tiffany Dufu invites you to stop being "good" and drop the ball.

Tiffany is the author of Drop the Ball: Achieving More by Doing Less https://www.blinkist.com/en/nc/browse/books/drop-the-ball-en [1], and for her, dropping the ball means letting go of unrealistic expectations of doing it all, and engaging others in the process, so that you can live a life that you’re passionate about.

Tiffany explains the repercussions of juggling too much, helps you find out why all these balls ended up in your hands in the first place, and finally, how to know what you can start to let go of. She also talks about the importance of having people in your life who hold you accountable for living your best life and being your best self—an idea she's bringing to life in her project The Cru https://www.thecru.com/ [2].

Book recommended by Tiffany:

• Just as I Am: A Memoir, by Cicely Tyson

Books recommended by Ben & Caitlin:

• Brave, Not Perfect: Fear Less, Fail More, and Live Bolder, by Reshma Saujani

Worn down by your never-ending to-do list? Even though there’s been a shift towards a more holistic idea of productivity in the last years, a lot of people still think that being productive is all about efficient time managing and achieving more.

Over the past 10 years, Erik's hosted some of the world's biggest productivity experts on his show, Beyond the To-Do List—people like Michael Hyatt, Cal Newport and James Clear.

      When people ask me how I do it all. I have one short answer..."I don't."  Too many times as mommas, we allow ourselves to become overwhelmed by the unending tasks.  Anxiety and depression is triggered when we feel like we can't possibly measure up to mommas on Instagram and social media who seem to have it all together.  Life is not meant to be perfectly scheduled.  Sometimes it is best to ditch that to-do list and be in the moment with your kids.  Give yourselves grace, throw the laundry off to the side,  and enjoy the magic of ordinary every day moments. 

We love a good to-do list - but they can quickly get overwhelming. You can take back control of that list with this easy strategy...

Putting all those tasks into the proper spot: ditch it, delegate it, delay it or do it.

The 4 D's of getting that to-do list under control - and we're talking all about how this strategy is the perfect stepping stone to improved productivity.

And - we're giving some clarity about how to manage the "do it" column tasks by taking a priority based approach to getting all those tasks done.

If you struggle with getting things done (and who doesn't?!) in this episode you'll learn a system you can use daily that will help move you forward. GEMS is an acronym that helps you create baby-steps in the most important areas of your life, including self-care.  If your to-do list is as big as your arm,  this system will help you focus your day so you can start actually accomplishing and stop feeling so overwhelmed and behind.

To be or not to be? That is the question!

This new year is less than two weeks underway and we have already set some goals for the next year and that's awesome! But often we are so focused on having a "to-do" list that we miss the big picture.

We want to accomplish things. We want to keep ourselves busy. And while that's great, we shouldn't just be focusing on a daily to-do list. We really should be more concerned about another list.

A "to-be" list.

In this episode of The Heart of Leadership Podcast, we look at the importance of creating a "to-be" list as we continue on this journey to become the best version of ourselves.

What type of person do you want to be?
