The Trailblazer's Guide To College Admissions

16. The Productivity Planner that will Change Your Relationship with Time


Listen Later

Stop wasting your time doing activities that don’t get you closer to your goal. Yep, I said it. If your goal is getting into highly selective colleges, you need to make sure you’re showing leadership and dedication towards a niche area of specialization and not wasting your time doing activities that aren't serving you in reaching your goals. But where do you start?

 

In this episode, I’m talking all about my proven Productivity Planner exercise, which I teach inside The Admitted Mastermind. Not only am I explaining why less is more, but I’m also breaking down how to create your Productivity Planner, what you need to include in each section, and how this exercise will help you be ruthless in taking things off your plate and quitting activities that are not serving your goals.

 

 

What We Cover:

  • Why we can’t do all the things & what we need to do instead
  • The importance of avoiding common activities so you can stand out from the crowd
  • Why you don’t need to be well-rounded
  • What time management is and is not
  • How to create your productivity planner

 

“Students who are stressed out and overwhelmed are doing too many activities. Less is more people. It is so much more impactful if you do one to two activities for a long time and get to a really high level then do 500 different things.” - Cathleen
