As the demands on our time increase, it becomes more and more important that we develop ways to capture and manage those demands. On this episode Dave recaps and highlights important insights Francis Wade shared throughout the week from his book, “Perfect Time-Based Productivity: A unique way to protect your peace of mind as time demands increase.”

Author Francis Wade talks about the reasons we so often fail in our attempts to change habits, and why we find habit change difficult on our own. Francis recommends creating a habit change “support environment”that works for you because your ability to change your habits diminishes without significant help and support.

Author Francis Wade talks about how to develop the perfect personalized time-based productivity system. He suggests, when it comes to changing habits, your best bet is to change one or maybe two at a time and change these habits even as we are using them. Remember to be patient and remain persistent because habit change comes slowly.

Author Francis Wade talks about how we’ve taught ourselves certain productivity systems since childhood that have become so complicated, or outdated by today’s standards, that we now don't know what to improve to be at our best. He teaches how the magic starts when you understand the complications, simplify it and make simple improvements.
