Starting out on the right foot is SO important. Especially when it comes to getting your business or side-hustle up and running. And the best way to get on that right foot is to have a bit of a plan. BUT – the other thing we know is that you’re likely time-poor. You might have other commitments right now like balancing a full-time job, looking after kids or being a carer.

You’ve been sitting at your desk, maybe in an office, maybe in your lounge room, for a few hours. You’ve got a to-do list as long as your right arm. And you can’t concentrate. But you have so MUCH  work to do. What do you do? Do you power through? Knowing that the work that you're doing may not be the best? Or do you stop? And take a microbreak…

On this episode of 8 Minutes To Change Your (Work) Life, Deb is joined by productivity expert Cyril Peupion, author of Work Smarter, Live Better to unpack why you should be using micro-breaks in your everyday life. And, why you should ban hour-long meetings.
