How To Escape Overwhelm, So You Can Get More Done With Less Effort [Episode 005]

Soul Led Leaders

Do you ever find yourself saying 'I don't have enough time'? Over the past 20 years of working with passionate world-changers, it's the single biggest excuse I have heard for us not taking the actions our dreams demand of us. And if we do take those actions, we end up in exhaustion and overwhelm.

I want to share with you today some practical strategies you can use - right away - so you can get more done, in less time, with less stress and no complicated planning systems - for free - so your ideas and dreams can have the impact they deserve.

What You'll Cover Today On Escaping Overwhelm:

  • The secrets of how I get so much done, and still have time to see my kids, without being a superhero!
  • Why we end up as too tired to change the world
  • Why chronic stress is perhaps the biggest time-thief around
  • What is really driving our addiction to 'busyness' and how to clear it out
  • My 'walk the plank' process to take the fluff out of your planning and create breakthroughs, fast
  • Plus my self-mentoring question that makes sure you won't get distracted or procrastinate
  • The 'other' type of action that sets us free from 'busyness' and creates breakthroughs, not burnout
  • The difference between 'fighting' and 'flowing' your way to your results

Why Time Management Doesn’t Work – Are You Getting In The Way Of Your Productivity?

Take Inspired Action

People often ask me how I get so much done. I’m not a genius – I’m just like you – but I know that traditional ‘time management’ doesn’t work any more. It’s twenty years since I taught my first time management course, in my first engineering job, and I now realise it was all back to front.

I recently did an interview with Sanebox.com as part of their Productivity Giants series and we talked about how classic time management techniques can fall apart. In fact, my 15+ years of mentoring entrepreneurs and passionate world changers have shown they can actually make things worse.

In this video I spill the beans on a really common reason that this happens – and the self-mentoring questions you can ask to get through this, to crank up your productivity and make breakthrough progress towards your dreams and goals:

I’m curious:

  • Have you been ‘getting in your own way’ with overwhelm, distractions and procrastination?
  • Where were you on the 0-100 commitment scale?
  • How does that change, when you uncover the secondary gain that had been keeping you stuck?
  • What actions might you take, in the next 24 hours, to turn that around?

I’d love to hear from you, via the comments.
