The Competitive Advantage with Austin Church
This episode is brought to you by Your Clockwise Week—a personalized weekly structure built around your actual life, not an ideal one. If your week feels full but not fitting, you can learn more at mikevardy.com/yourclockwiseweek.
On this episode of the podcast, I spoke with Austin L Church. Austin is the author of children’s books and a consultant who loves helping people build businesses around the work that doesn’t feel like work to them. We spoke about theming, using physical tools to stay on track, keeping things simple and more. It was a great conversation that I think you’ll enjoy. Here are a few highlights from the show:
Why it’s a great idea to give credit to others (a funny story)
Using notecards
How simplicity is a serious advantage
Focusing on the right things at the right time
Proactively ignoring certain things
Managing complexity
The importance of focusing and finishing
Omission vs. elimination
Why we overestimate what we can do in a day
Overestimating urgency
Abstractions and exceptions
Creating durable plans
Assigning weight to specific tasks based on the day and bigger goals
