Joining me this time on the Productivity Podcast is Dr. Don Davis, author, and established coach & consultant for businesses in the healthcare and life sciences industries. A big proponent of daily routines and time blocking, Dr. Don starts off his day by meditating and journaling to close out the previous day and prepare for what’s coming. While it may sound weird to you to close a day in the morning of the next day, this is what works for him and it’s something that everyone has to take into account when building up a daily routine. There are a lot of different routines that big names li ..read more

Joining me today is David Salib, Associate Product Manager at Lyft and a man with many cool side-products...one of them being Momento, a podcast app that I’ve been using a lot lately (check out more on the app in these videos here and here). As usual, I asked him about his daily routine. Like many of the guests of the Real World Productivity Podcast, David’s days begin with an early visit to the gym, followed by time for reading; then he starts working and after that, he devotes his free time to side projects. Some of these side projects are Momento, a podcast app that lets you transcribe audi ..read more

In this episode of the Real World Productivity Podcast, I interviewed Jeroen Corthout, CEO and Co-founder of the CRM system Salesflare. Before founding Salesflare, Jeroen worked for several companies and started many others that weren't long-term successful before settling into Salesflare and beginning the long-term push for success. We covered a lot of areas, and on top of those, Joeren shared a lot about his routines: After a morning exercise routine that involves running, situps, and pushups, Jeroen begins his working day with a standup meeting. This is just a short meeting where everyone s ..read more

Joining me this episode is Pauline Malubay, Small Business Operations Expert, & Business Growth Strategist. I like to start these podcast episodes by asking about morning routines. Although it may vary, Pauline says that she can't start her day without coffee (and I totally agree!), following this comes reading, and 5-minute meditation using the Shine app. Meditation has been a constant these past few episodes and I agree with that. It is very important but it doesn't work the same for everyone. You have to do it your way - some do yoga, some do visualization, affirmation, and many other s ..read more

Joining me this week is Sydney Wong; Entrepreneur & Co-Founder of VenturX, and author of “How to have a good day.” We talked about her daily routine - she has very specific routines for both her mornings and evenings and these involve things like setting the most important tasks for the day, weighted blankets, and bubble baths! (She is the second guest to mention bubble baths so I’m gonna have to try this out). Sydney’s also a strong believer that success comes from your systems, the stronger your routines are, the more successful you’ll be. Listen to this episode and learn: Why taking ri ..read more

Joining me this week is Robby Slaughter, workflow and productivity expert. With a background in technology and mathematics, Robby discovered that he liked best helping people overcome their problems rather than finding a solution to the problems themselves. One of the things that he focuses on is not only the “how” of productivity (that next cool to-do list that claims to help you master everything) but on the “why” of productivity. Robby thinks that human beings are at their best when they’re doing one of two things: Getting things done Or consciously not doing anything And that by mixing t ..read more

Joining me this week is Zeb Evans, founder, and CEO of ClickUp. Being an entrepreneur from an early age, Zeb taught himself how to code, dropped out of college, and created a social media firm. A lot of frustration from productivity software at the time was what inspired Zeb to create ClickUp. If you haven’t heard of it, ClickUp is a project management & productivity app I’ve been using for the past 6 months that has tons of integrations and lots of features built into it that aim to reduce the number of apps you need to use. I asked Zeb about his personal routine and the first thing he do ..read more

Joining me this week is Dr. Frank Buck, productivity speaker, author, and time management coach. His efforts towards being an organized person began back in his high school years and went on through his college years and his almost 30 years in the public education system, and now beyond. Even though Frank has been going mostly paperless and managing his organization digitally since 2001, he still uses a paper journal that’s always with him for note-taking. Of note, Frank’s days actually start the evening before when he reviews his goals for the day, checks what was done, what wasn’t done, what ..read more

Joining me this week is Randy Clark, leadership trainer, and Amazon best-selling leadership author. Over the last 30 years, Randy has helped a lot of companies and managers improve their leadership with his training; much of it based on mistakes he made in management. He shared a lot of valuable content during our talk that can help just about anyone...not everyone in a managerial position knows how to be a leader - sometimes we’re put there and need to perform. Randy showed how to hold people accountable without coming in with a hostile approach. On the contrary, showing first that you care f ..read more

Joining me this week is Joseph DiRoma, head of The Successful Male North America and someone with almost two decades of experience in the hospitality industry and helping developing others. A good and productive day can be achieved with routines, and Joseph shared with me what he calls the CAMPV routine: C = Contemplation A = Affirmations M = Meditation P = Perspiration V = Visualization He made special emphasis on meditation and what you can achieve just by doing it 10 minutes a day - something that I’ve tried in the past off and on but will be working on creating a routine that incorporates ..read more
