The Task Management & Time Blocking Podcast

Ep 29 – Auto-Scheduler Overview 2022

Almost everyone who time-blocks manually for enough time, starts to wonder what it would be like to automate some of the overheard. Wouldn’t it be nice to click a button and see everything instantly assigned to an optimal time slot in their calendar? But does such software even exist? The good news is that it does and in this conversation with Dr Melanie Wilson, we update our prior 2018 recording comparing 6 auto-schedulers. Should you be using one of these AI-infused apps? Tune in to find out what we discovered and you could save some time, stress and even money. Note: The show was originally recorded in May of 2022.

Ep 27 –  Reversing Diminishing Returns in Task Management Improvements

So you made lots of progress in your task management in the past - you are no beginner. You probably read some books and followed some sound ideas and found yourself getting more effect, and more productive, and making fewer errors. But lately…you feel as if you have stalled. You’re no longer growing in leaps and bounds the way you used to, and you miss that growth you once experienced. Now, changes come slowly, if at all. What can you do about it? You’re tempted to give up and move onto something different because…well, there are other places in life where you can put in some effort and see some results. But is that the tactic you really want? To give up? Do you have a choice? Are there alternatives? Tune into this episode to hear from me and my special guest, Dr Bret Atkins, as we solve this challenging problem together.

Ep 26 – Pareto Improvements to Your Task Management

You’re someone who launches personal projects to improve your task management. You have made a number of changes in the past, but you haven’t seen the impact you wanted from each effort. Is there something going on that you cannot see? Are some changes more fruitful than others? After all, you know a thing or two about systemic change: that seemingly small improvements can yield disproportionate, breakthrough results. It applies to other areas of life…but how about your task management? Tune into this episode to hear from me and my special guest, Danielle Baily, as we solve this challenging problem together.

Ep 25 1/2 – Once You Realize that One-Size-Does-Not-Fit-All…Now What?

You are a productivity enthusiast, someone who loves to grow and learn in the area of your task management. You are aware of most of the gurus out there - the inventors of practices like GTD, apps like Todoist and devices like the Bullet Journal. You also have realized at some point - maybe a long time ago, or just as you are listening to this episode, that one size does not fit all. In other words, even though gurus and developer claim that they have figured everything out, you know that’s not true. You have been around long enough to distrust anyone who tells you that they have the perfect solution. But is that enough? Perhaps this realization is just the beginning of a new journey.  In this solo episode I will look at the issues we all have with one-size-fits-all thinking and what you can do about it in the short-term and long-term.
