  • #113: Your Thinking/Doing Ratio Might be Off (and Probably is)
    May 12 2026

    Feeling like your productivity is a little off? Does it feel like you are playing whack-a-mole and just going from thing to thing to thing? Perhaps your ratios are off -- your thinking/doing ratio. Ideally, we'll spend more time thinking (strategically planning) than doing, and when those ratios are reversed, that's when things aren't at their best. We have do-overs, we do things that we don't need to do, or don't need to do in that way, we forget pieces of things, etc. Let's fix that right now!

  • #112: Get Rid of Your "Busy" Brand
    May 5 2026

    We all do it. Someone asks us how we are, and we answer, "Busy!" In this episode, I'm challenging all of us to think about how unhelpful and potentially harmful that can be when we do it on repeat. I think we can do better.

    Enjoy 🤍🩵💙🎙️

  • #111: Post-Anything Evaluation and Gratitude - Part 2
    Apr 28 2026

    Call it a debrief, or a postmortem, or whatever you would like, but taking time to think about what just happened (an event, project, etc.) is really important for increased productivity. In this episode (Part 2), I talk about the evaluation piece and a couple of good roadmaps.

    Call it a debrief, or a postmortem, or whatever you would like, but taking time to think about what just happened (an event, project, etc.) is really important for increased productivity.

  • #109: How to Conference (aka Productive Conferencing)
    Apr 14 2026

    Conferences are part of many of our professional and personal lives, and we are more likely to maximize these opportunities with a little thought and intentional preparation. In this episode (recorded at a conference!) I share some ideas.

  • #108: The Magic of an Imperfect Start
    Apr 7 2026

    We DO NOT have to start things only on Mondays or the 1st of the Month or the 1st of the Year, or whatever silly ideas we have for when we should start things. Consider an imperfect start for a new habit or goal you want to get going on, and get rid of "all or nothing" thinking in the process!

  • #107: Stuck? Do a Physical Challenge
    Mar 31 2026

    I walked a 5K every day in March to get me unstuck with rehab and making myself stronger after all of my not-so-fun injury adventures. It gave me confidence, made me stronger, and proved that I can show up for myself. In this episode I share why I think it worked, and why you may want to consider a physical challenge to get you unstuck (from any way you are feeling stuck).
