Brief Summary of Episode #236

Staring at a long to-do list can be incredibly demoralizing.

With only so much time in a day, it’s easy to question ourselves and ask, “What did I actually get done?”

But maybe we’re simply focusing our energy on the wrong things.

“When you’re trying to organize your day, take the time to really think about where you’re investing your time and energy,” said Audrey Cannata, Operations Lead at the Digital Growth Institute.

Audrey joined me for another episode of our Behind the Cover series to discuss Brian Tracy’s book Eat That Frog!: 21 Great Ways to Stop Procrastinating and Get More Done in Less Time.

Tracy’s work is perhaps more relevant than ever. With so many digital distractions in this age of AI, time can easily slip away from us.

“We can get distracted if we’re not focusing our attention,” Audrey added. “All those things have the potential to pull us away from the goal we’re working towards.”

Technology is a tool - it can be used to create or destroy. What matters is how we choose to invest in it.
