Send me a message!🤓

Most people focus on due dates -- as in, this final deadline. But the due date of a project has nothing to do with you actually getting it done.

Enter the DO date.

In this episode of the Learn and Work Smarter podcast, I make the case that focusing on DO dates is far more effective than wasting our energy stressing about DUE dates. In fact, DO dates make DUE dates just ... happen.

What You Learn:

  • Why focusing on deadlines is the wrong approach
  • What exactly a DO date is
  • How to implement the DO date strategy in your everyday life (work, school, or personal)
