Mark Struczewski: Living a Productive Life

Listen Later

Mark ‘Ski’ Struczewski is also known as Mister Productivity.

He is a keynote speaker who has presented on multiple stages and at a wide variety of events across the United States, including the Women’s Council of Realtors, the Association of Legal Administrators, American Business Women’s Association, and the Greater Houston Builders Association.

He is the host of The Mark Struczewski Podcast, where he discusses productivity and the things that get in the way of it, and the author of multiple books to help busy professionals be more productive and get more done.

Mark joins me today to discuss productivity, and how centering his life around it has made growing and achieving success possible for him.

As learning is a huge part of his day-to-day activities, he also shares his favourite resources in helping him attain maximum productivity. He also explains his philosophy on prioritisation, the significance of identifying goals, and shares foolproof ways on how you can stick to them.

“What gets scheduled gets done. The worst thing you can do is to have an empty calendar.” –  Mark Struczewski”
