In this episode, we're talking about your tech loop, the cycle of sites and apps you check on autopilot every day. You'll hear where the concept came from, why adults and kids are dealing with the exact same issues with technology, and why we're scrolling 45 to 90 minutes more per day than we were in 2019. I share the story of a tech exec client who tracked his time and found he was spending 4 hours a day on YouTube and Reddit in 2-minute chunks, and what changed once he saw it. We get into why your app defaults are designed to hijack your attention, why awareness without shame is the starting point, and the simple questions you can ask yourself to spot your own loop.

If you've ever felt like your phone controls you more than you control it, this one's for you.

In todays episode, you'll be in on a conversation with Rachel Sklar, a parenting and executive coach and the person I have on speed-dial for when one of my kids throws a full boba across the room at the other's head and I'm worried I'll lose it on them (true story!).

Rachel is the founder of The Boy Mom Academy, where she helps moms raise strong-willed boys to be kind, calm, and cooperative. She works with families and leaders to build better relationships, reduce stress, and create realistic systems that work. And today she's giving us a window into the way SHE works. And I can't wait for you to be a fly on the wall for this one.

Here are links to the tools that Rachel and I discussed (because we love them so much):

• TextExpander
• TickTick

In this episode, Alexis breaks down why "learning AI" as a goal is setting you up for frustration, and what to do instead. She talks about the pressure you're feeling from LinkedIn, the news, and your company to "get on the AI train," and why that pressure is leading you in the wrong direction. Alexis shares the calculator analogy that reframes AI from an overwhelming subject into a practical tool, walks through real examples of how she's used AI for everything from workout plans to memorizing a talk, and gives you a dead-simple way to start using AI today without taking a course, reading a book, or feeling like you're behind. If you've been avoiding AI or stressing about it, this one's for you.

In this episode, Alexis breaks down why planning at the end of the day or week, instead of the beginning, leads to less stress, more presence outside of work, and faster mornings. She shares how her own daily planning takes only 2-5 minutes, explains why most people's planning sessions take too long, and reveals the critical difference between planning and reviewing. If you've ever felt like planning is "not real work" or wondered why your planning sessions spiral into catch-up sessions, this one will change how you think about setting up your day and your week.

In this episode, we dig into the concept of a "last mile week" and why dedicating time to finish lingering, half-done projects is one of the most freeing things you'll do all year. We talk about the tension between wanting to chase new ideas and feeling weighed down by old obligations and how borrowing a concept from shipping logistics helped clear an entire backlog of unfinished work. If you love starting things but struggle to close the loop, this one's for you.

In this episode, we're talking about inertia, the physics concept you forgot about after high school, and why it explains so much about how you move through your day. You'll learn the difference between high inertia and low inertia people, why some of us need three alarms and a ritual to leave the house, and six practical strategies to make transitions less painful. If switching tasks or getting started on things has ever felt harder for you than it seems to be for everyone else, this one's for you.

In this episode, we're talking about two decision-making styles that affect how you spend your time, your energy, and your satisfaction with choices: satisficing and maximizing. You'll hear about what each style looks like in practice, why satisficers tend to be happier with their choices (backed by research), and where each style has blind spots. Plus, a personal story about running shoes, a teenager's obsession with gear research, and what happened when a satisficer let a maximizer take the lead. We also talk about why pairing these two styles together, whether on a team or in a relationship, creates better outcomes than either one alone.
