Eat That Frog and 21 steps you can take to stop procrastinating

Mark Twain was allegedly quoted as saying, "If it's your job to eat a frog, it's best to do it first thing in the morning. And if it's your job to eat two frogs, it's best to eat the biggest one first."

10 Weeks to transform your productivity

We have an exciting plan to help you reach your goals and become the best you that you can be! Beginning next week, we will take you through 10 of the best productivity books on the market, one book per week.  

This is going to be a very interactive series, because you will only be transformed if you actually take the steps, make the changes, and start the actions needed to improve. We will be with you each step of the way.

Join the “Genuine Driven Women Mastermind group" to work together with other like-minded ladies on this same journey.

CLICK HERE TO JOIN:

“Genuine Driven Women Mastermind group.”  You can also search for “Genuine Driven Women” on Facebook and you can find it very easily that way too.    

Each week I will create action steps for each of us to work toward, based on the books we read. The books and the sequence we will progress through them have been purposefully laid out. When we are through the last book, you will already have accomplished more in 10 weeks than you did all the previous months of the year and you will have a robust plan as you head in to 2019. Imagine 2019 for a moment.  2019 could be the year that all your dreams will come true, that you accomplish more than you imagined was possible and you also have time to enjoy life and to reap the benefits from your productive life. That is what I want for you and that is who you will be if you come along with us on this productivity journey. 

The book for next week will be: “Finish what you start” by Craig S. Copeland

As a side note, if you aren’t able to read the book prior to listening, we will give you a high-level overview and will give you enough information so that you can work through the exercises with us. So, even if you do not read the books, you will learn A LOT from each episode. Still, each one of these books are packed with so many nuggets of goodness and there is no way we can cover everything in them, so I highly encourage you to read each of them as you work along with us to transform our productivity!  

The rest out the list can be found below. You can download them, the first one for free, if you go to audibletrial.com/drivenwomen or click the links below to buy them in all formats, including Kindle.

Episode 42: Deep Work by Cal Newport and the steps you can take to get started!

What is keeping you from getting your most important things done? It is probably the lack of "Deep Work" in your life. We will talk to you about what you can do to find more Deep Work time and get your most important things done!

In this book, Cal Newport draws a clear distinction between two types of work: deep work and shallow work.

Deep work is defined as:

Professional activities performed in a state of distraction-free concentration that push your cognitive capabilities to their limit. These efforts create new value, improve your skill, and are hard to replicate.

Shallow work is:

Non-cognitively demanding, logistical-style tasks, often performed while distracted. These efforts tend to not create much new value in the world and are easy to replicate.

Cal Newport believes that to achieve deep work, you will need to follow four principles

1.You must engage in deep work itself

2.You must learn how to embrace, rather than avoid “boredom”

3.You must have a plan to “quit social media”

4.You should definitely have a plan to “drain the shallows”

We will cover these four principles in more depths and discuss our thoughts on the book in this episode.

Charles Duhigg said that “Productivity is about making certain choices in certain ways. The way we choose to see ourselves and frame daily decisions; the stories we tell ourselves, and the easy goals we ignore; The sense of community we build among teammates; the creative cultures we establish as leaders:  These are the things that separate the merely busy from the genuinely productive.”

This book explores the eight ideas that Mr. Duhigg’s research found to be most important in expanding productivity: Motivation, Teams, Focus, Goal Setting, Managing Others, Decision Making, Innovation, and Absorbing Data

The Book, the NOW Habit, written by Dr. Neil Fiore, is a very action-based guide to understanding and dealing with your own procrastination and the procrastination of the other people in your life. Are you a procrastinator? Most of us procrastinate at something and many of us wish we would procrastinate less or that we could make improvements to feel less guilt related to the things we are procrastinating on. This podcast will give you several activities, based on the book, to help you procrastinate less!

With today’s episode we are kicking our productivity into high gear with a 30 day productivity challenge. We will be starting this 30 day productivity challenge in the “Genuine Driven Women Mastermind group.” 

This 30 day challenge will be based on the book for today’s podcast, which is “The 30 Day Productivity Plan,” by Damon Zahariades. In this book, he lays out a plan for you to follow, which is based on 30 small changes you can take in quick succession to dramatically improve your productivity. I will provide these challenges to you each of the next 30 days in the Facebook group and action steps you can take to implement them. You can choose to make these improvements on each new day, or you can choose to make one improvement every few days, or even one a week. No matter how you decide to make your improvements, we will all be there in the group, making our own improvements and encouraging you, helping each other, and making sure that we all rise - together.

In First Things First, Stephen Covey says that it matters more WHERE you are going than how fast you get there. He says his approach will provide you with the compass to get there. There is no short-cut, but there is a path based on principles. What you are doing and WHY you are doing it is the most important thing. In this book, he says that the way most people spend their time and what they think is most important are usually NOT aligned. We will tell you how to align your time and your purpose today!

If you LOVE what you are hearing, the best way you can help us is by leaving us a review on iTunes.  We’d love for you to take a couple minutes to write a review on iTunes, which will help us to reach our goal to connect with girls, young ladies, and women who need just this kind of inspiration each week.

You can also follow us on Facebook at Facebook.com/genuinedrivenwomen/ to join the conversation, get to know us better, and to find about all the new things we will be announcing in the months to come.

Today we are discussing the book, “The One Thing” by Gary Keller with Jay Papasan and then we will take you through some steps you can take to incorporate the ideas into your life.  

The concept behind the one thing is very simple, do the ONE THING.  The harder part is figuring out what YOUR one thing is.

Gary Keller says that you should “GO SMALL.”  He says, “Going small is ignoring all the things you COULD do” and actually “doing what you SHOULD do.”   He goes on to say you should recognize that “Not all things matter equally.” You need to find “what matters MOST.”    

10 Weeks to transform your productivity

We have an exciting plan to help you reach your goals and become the best you that you can be! Beginning next week, we will take you through 10 of the best productivity books on the market, one book per week.  

This is going to be a very interactive series, because you will only be transformed if you actually take the steps, make the changes, and start the actions needed to improve. We will be with you each step of the way.

“Genuine Driven Women Mastermind group.”  You can also search for “Genuine Driven Women” on Facebook and you can find it very easily that way too.    

Each week I will create action steps for each of us to work toward, based on the books we read. The books and the sequence we will progress through them have been purposefully laid out. When we are through the last book, you will already have accomplished more in 10 weeks than you did all the previous months of the year and you will have a robust plan as you head in to 2019. Imagine 2019 for a moment.  2019 could be the year that all your dreams will come true, that you accomplish more than you imagined was possible and you also have time to enjoy life and to reap the benefits from your productive life. That is what I want for you and that is who you will be if you come along with us on this productivity journey. 

The book, for next week will be  “First Things First” by Stephen Covey

As a side note, if you aren’t able to read the book prior to listening, we will give you a high-level overview and will give you enough information so that you can work through the exercises with us. So, even if you do not read the books, you will learn A LOT from each episode. Still, each one of these books are packed with so many nuggets of goodness and there is no way we can cover everything in them, so I highly encourage you to read each of them as you work along with us to transform our productivity!
