  • C1 | Episode 9 - Accountability And Productivity
    This week kicked off with a huge problem for me to solve. No internet. This is an issue I start by explaining.The importance of the morning routine is a topic I am speaking about again as I am reading about it at the moment in my book called My Morning Routine by Benjamin Spall and Michael Xander.
    My week has been productive, learning new skills and tackling my business plan. However I talk about how I doubted myself and on of my productive days and questioned whether it was enough. Strategies on how to tackle morning to make them more productive is an area that I provide tips on in this chapter.
    Holding yourself accountable is an area of which I provided more tips on after being asked on social media. I find getting others to expect something, tricks you into becoming more productive and holds you accountable to what you say you will do.
    These are just some topics that I speak about in my podcast to hear more, take a listen.
    I hope you all enjoy.
    Have a productive and happy week.
