Tell me if this sounds familiar – When you plan your time, do you ever over-commit and run out of time to do your work? Especially when it comes to doing deep work that generates results but requires real focus. It’s so easy to say, “I’m going to spend the day working on X” only to get bogged down with other admin tasks and distractions.
I’ve been caught out by this more than a few times…
It’s easy to start your week with good intentions to be proactive and do meaningful work. But often we get pulled into a more reactive mode as urgent tasks and last-minute stuff comes up.

PMP #205: What are the fixed costs on your time?

Hi, I'm Paul. This is my podcast where I teach people about productivity, business and self-improvement. I'm completely obsessed with productivity, automation, optimising my time and income so I can live on my terms. I now earn a living as a “virtual consultant” and love sharing what I've learned about how to grow successful and productive businesses. Enjoy the show!

PMP #298: Do you have to invest in your business?

In this episode of Minor Updates, I share some of the things I've been focussing on in my business and personal life.

PMP# 297: Minor Updates: March 2024

When I sell to a prospect, I present a few options and I actually tell them which option to buy. N Nobody enjoys having to think about it. They just want to be told what to do based on their budget and situation.

PMP #296: Tell people what to buy

I’ve shared previously on this blog that my primary motivation right now (as it has been for years) is to make my business more efficient.

PMP #295: Growing by teaching

At the end of last year, I hired an administrative assistant to help process my email and to help with daily administrative tasks. My new assistant, Faith, has been working with me for just over a month now and she’s already helping to save me a tonne of valuable time.
