You have too much to do right now. I know because I've never met someone whose biggest problem was too much free time. In this episode, part three of our four part series on prioritization, I'm teaching you a simple question that will help you sort your overwhelming to do list: is there an outside deadline?

You have too much to do. I know because I've never met someone whose biggest problem was too much free time. In this episode, part of a four part series on prioritization, I'm teaching you the second prompt that clarifies your decision making when your to do list feels overwhelming: is there money involved?

ATG 297 | Why Your To-Do List Will Always Beat Your Calendar (And What to Do About It)
Your to do list is bursting and it feels impossible to figure out what matters most. Here's the truth: your imagination is bigger than your calendar, so it will always feel that way. In this episode, I'm kicking off a brand new four part series on prioritization, starting with a powerful tool from my book Soundtracks, a good question is a trojan horse for truth.

ATG 296 | Your Whole Dashboard: Why Checking Only Your Feelings Is Costing You Your Dreams
Most people only check one thing on their dashboard: feelings. That's like covering every other gauge in your car with a Post it note and driving by only watching the check oil light. Sure, you'd know when to change your oil, but you'd rack up speeding tickets, run out of gas, and probably rear end somebody at the grocery store. In this episode, I'm sharing the other data points you need to review besides your emotions, including truth, time, commitments, numbers, and your original dream. I'l...

ATG 295 | Find an Hour, Start Selling: How I Trick Myself Into Beating Procrastination
Procrastination loves vagueness. "I'll get to that eventually" means nothing gets done. In this episode, I'm sharing the exact system I use to steal back an hour from my own procrastination, starting with your phone's screen time settings and treating your apps like a restaurant menu. You'll learn why making a list of everything you're procrastinating on actually makes things worse, and why I had to become a phenomenal salesman just to get myself to write. I'll walk you through the four...

ATG 294 | The Muskrat Incident: Why Simple Beats Complicated Every Time
My favorite one star review calls my books too simple. Guilty as charged, and I did that on purpose. But I wasn't always this way. In this episode I tell you about The Muskrat Incident, the true story of how I chose an impossible taxidermy extra credit project over simply studying for biology class. Spoiler alert, it did not go well. We'll talk about why procrastinators love complicating projects (hint, it gives us someone else to blame when things fall apart), how to avoid becoming what I ca...

ATG 293 | You Are in Sales: Why Your Real Mission Is Selling Yourself a Remarkable Life
We can't get coffee together, but we could take a walk. And on that walk, I'd tell you something that might surprise you: your mission in life is sales. Not the kind you're picturing. From the moment you wake up to the moment you fall asleep, you're selling the most important product that's ever existed, a remarkable life, to the most important person you'll ever meet, yourself. In this episode, I'm breaking down why owning your life feels so overwhelming, why blaming your parents, society, o...

ATG 292 | 5 Soundtracks That Will Make You Braver (Nobody Is for Everybody)
What thoughts are running through your mind on repeat? In this episode, I'm sharing five powerful soundtracks that will help you build bravery in your life. You'll discover why nobody is for everybody (vegan restaurants don't care about BBQ fans), how to beat imposter syndrome by being better today than you were yesterday, and why some beats none when perfectionism tries to stop you. I'll also reveal the four words that get me through every hard run in January ("I'll feel awesome after") and ...
