We’re nearing year-end, and it’s a time when I start to look ahead to the next year and what I want the future to look like. But I also make sure I take some time at year-end to look back and celebrate everything that I accomplished in the past year.

There have been times during our Balance and Productivity trainings when very well organized, hardworking students will contact me afterwards and advise that despite implementing many of the modalities we teach, they still have too many days that feel like the weight of the world is on their shoulders.

When I was on maternity leave with my son, I knew that I needed to make self-care a priority. I, like most new mothers, had heard the stories of new moms not taking time to shower or do anything for themselves with a new baby in the house and feeling burned out as a result. I knew that I would definitely burn out if I didn’t make time to take care of myself.

During our productivity trainings, I've found that a very common feedback statement from the folks who don't like feeling behind on email and work but also aren't really in the mood for the real change that is required is: "Jason, I really love everything you showed us here today - seriously profound stuff, but this probably won't work for me."

In our Outlook Balance and Productivity training sessions, we teach clients how to utilize tasks to keep them on top of everything they need to do in their lives. Recently, one of my clients observed that with the new method she is taking a lot of time managing tasks and not working. A synopsis of my response to that very good observation is below.

Have you ever had a hard time making a decision? When making decisions in my own life, when I can’t figure out the answer using my brain, I then turn to my deeper decision-making systems. Often, if my brain can’t figure something out right away, my heart/gut knows the answer.

A big part of what we teach in our Balance and Productivity training is around learning the craft of distraction management.

Our surroundings can pull us toward our intentions or away from them. If your physical desk and/or computer desktop are unregulated messes, you are most likely losing time and energy to your environment.

In one of my binge sessions with Dr. Joe Dispenza, he said that we humans are really good at spending "now" picking "yesterday" up and plopping it down onto "tomorrow."

For the majority of people, for every app that they add to their phone, each of those apps is probably dinging at them at some point during the day. Because apps want to ding at us as a default. They want to produce a siren song that we can’t resist to get us onto their platform to either buy what they have to sell or gain our attention for advertisers that have something to sell.

Leading with love and intense curiosity in all of life is where joy and results are found. ALL of life - yep, work too. But here’s the thing, you can’t do that at high speed and with too many "things" going on. It’s a one-at-a-time approach. The choice is yours. Choose LESS but BETTER.

Do you find yourself mindlessly scrolling through your phone? Do you lose time without realizing what happened? I’ve certainly fallen victim to this more than I care to admit in my life. Thankfully, I found this solution that has given me back hours of my day, and it’s very simple!

Have you ever walked through a park or college campus and noticed the paths of dirt through the grass that aren’t paved? These unpaved paths are sometimes called desire paths. They’re the worn spots that people regularly take because they’re the easiest way for them to travel. Landscapers sometimes wait for these paths to be formed organically by people’s movements before placing pavement since it represents how people actually want to move around the space. I leverage this concept of the well-worn, easiest paths in my life and time management techniques as well.

This morning, I journaled about how at the exact time of waking, I've been feeling a kind of anxiety. This feeling has been lightly creeping up more and more as I age. After a deep dive into a silent self-inquiry as to why this may be happening, something that felt quite true revealed itself.
