The Time Fix Podcast

Hiring someone and handing them everything you don’t want to do isn’t delegation. It’s dumping. And most business owners don’t realise they’re doing it until it’s already gone wrong. In this episode, Ildi and Pooja unpack the real difference between intentional delegation and reactive offloading, and why getting this wrong is one of the most expensive mistakes a growing business can make.

In this episode:

✓ Why trying to track every single task you do is the wrong place to start, and what to do instead

✓ The simple maths that makes delegation a no brainer, even when you’re convinced you could do it faster yourself

✓ Why some people cling to every task out of fear, others out of habit, and a few will hand off anything the moment they get the chance, and why none of these are wrong, just different

Growth means letting go of pieces of the puzzle, not the whole picture at once. Work with your natural time style, not against it.

Someone drove the same road home from work every single day, and every day, without fail, ended up pulling into the drive-through. It was wrecking family dinners. Willpower alone couldn’t stop it. A different road did.

In this episode, Ildi and Pooja get into why “change” is the wrong word when it comes to fixing a habit that’s stopped serving you, and what actually works instead.

In this episode:

✓ Why your brain will not do anything, not one single thing, unless there’s a reward attached to it

✓ Why replacing a habit works and “just stopping” almost never does, and how close the replacement needs to be to the original

✓ Why moving your workstation out of your bedroom (or off that one spot on the couch) can shift your behaviour more than willpower ever will You don’t need to overhaul everything. Sometimes all it takes is shifting the trigger.

You make somewhere between 20,000 and 30,000 decisions every single day. Habits are the only reason that doesn't completely wipe you out.

In this episode, Ildi and Pooja unpack what habits actually are, why we genuinely cannot function without them, and the part nobody talks about, the moment they stop serving you.

In this episode:

Next episode, we go deeper into how you actually change a habit that's stopped working. Work with your natural time style, not against it.

Everyone's talking about mandated work from home days right now.

Almost nobody's talking about whether it's actually good for the people doing it.

In this episode, Ildi and Pooja get into why "you can work from home" and "you should work from home" are two very different things, and what business owners need to think through before rolling either one out.

In this episode:

✓ Why working from your kitchen table isn't just uncomfortable, it's an OHS issue that quietly kills focus

✓ Why the four day work week studies actually say something different to what most headlines claim

✓ Why isolation affects some people so badly that "flexibility" starts working against them, not for them

Offering the option isn't the finish line. Understanding your people is.

Work with your natural time style, not against it.

You can be the strongest rower in the world and still end up on the wrong island, if nobody's steering.

In this episode, Ildi and Pooja sit down with guest Bojan Gangur, founder of Level Playing Field Lawyers and the Clawz contract platform, to talk about what changed when he stopped assuming his team worked the way he did.

In this episode:

✓ Why the quietest person in the room sometimes has the best idea, and why nobody thought to ask

✓ Why hearing the same feedback from someone outside the business landed completely differently than hearing it from the person signing the paychecks

✓ Why letting go of control, and giving direction instead of doing everything yourself, is what actually makes the business grow Effort isn't the problem. Direction can be.

There's no such thing as a good habit or a bad habit. Controversial? Maybe. True? Ildi and Pooja make the case.

In this episode, they break down how habits actually form, why "just change the habit" almost never works, and the small, slightly odd trick that got a struggling Year 12 student back into "doing" mode in one afternoon.

In this episode:

✓ Why habits aren't good or bad, they either serve you or they don't, and that distinction changes everything

✓ The real habit loop behind your workday: trigger, action, reward, and why cat videos are winning that loop right now

✓ Why putting on shoes (yes, actual shoes) can trick your brain into a working headspace faster than willpower ever will

Awareness is the first step. From there, it's about working with your natural time style, not against it.

Working from home. Two words that spark more workplace tension than almost anything else right now.

In this episode, Ildi and Pooja get into why the real issue isn't working from home itself, it's that almost nobody has clearly defined what a "good day" of it actually looks like.

In this episode:

AI. Planners. Sticky notes. Timers.

There's no shortage of productivity tools out there, so why does none of it stick?

Because the tool has to match the person. In this episode, Ildi and Pooja get practical: real tips for real behaviour styles, plus an honest look at why AI might (or might not) actually save you time.

In this episode:

✓ Why spending time to find the right tool isn't wasted time, even if it feels like a paradox

✓ Why some people need rigid lists and estimated timings, while others need to throw the list away entirely and work in short, varied bursts

✓ Why "undisturbed time" is a non-negotiable productivity tool for some people, and completely irrelevant for others

The trick isn't finding the one hack that works for everyone. It's working with your natural time style, not against it.
