Productivity and output are two of the most important areas on which creators can focus. As a show dedicated to helping creators take charge of their future, we thought it was time for a discussion about the habits that help creators become more productive and more efficient with their work and life.

Today’s episode features James Clear, author of Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones and Ryan Delk, CEO & co-founder of Primer, a homeschool with a mission to build the learning experience your children deserve. 

We had a great discussion about the habits and strategies that yield the most output in their creative endeavors, and we get to the heart of what it means to be productive. 

Main Takeaways

• Surround yourself with like-minded people you can connect with. Decide who you will say “yes” to and start building a genuine connection early. Be persistent in a friendly way; don’t take “no” personally
• Take care of yourself. Focus on sleep, diet, and exercise and try not to be on your phone all of the time. 
• The “1% better everyday” concept applies to almost anything you’re trying to improve in your life.
• Be balanced and intentional with your work and your life. Be prepared for meetings and set aside intentional family time as often as you can.
