#075: My Top 10 Productivity Hacks [Podcast]
I am often asked in interviews, “How do you get so much done?” Even one of my daughters asked me this the other day.
I love the topic of productivity. I collect productivity hacks like some people collect stamps. I am always looking for the edge that will make me more efficient and, even more importantly, more effective.
Based on my recent 2013 Reader Survey, 75 percent of my readers want more productivity content. So here are my top ten favorite productivity hacks of all time, in no particular order:
Click to Listen
Eliminate online distractions.
Schedule time alone.
Batch similar tasks together.
Identify your must-dos.
Eliminate, automate, delegate.
Hire virtual assistants.
Invest in coaching.
Acquire better tools.
Get better at saying “no.”
Use templates for everything.
This isn't a very long list, but I have provided a huge list of resources in the show. Try these out and get to hacking yourself!
Listener Questions
Ryan asked, “How can you make sure that you get good recommendations when you leave a job?”
Shirley asked, “Now that I am past the initial launch, how do I find a larger audience for my book?”
Wendy asked, “Is it a problem having the word 'blog' at the end of my domain name?”
Special Announcements
If you are considering launching your own platform—or just getting serious about it—you need a self-hosted WordPress blog.
This is not as complicated as it sounds. In fact, I have put together a step-by-step screencast on exactly how to do it. You don’t need any technical knowledge.
By the way, I just updated this screencast recently, so it has the latest and greatest information available. I walk you through the entire process in exactly 20 minutes.

This is a terrific way to cross-promote your blog or website, because, if I use your question on the show, I will link to it—just like I did with the callers in this episode.
