Episodes
296. Work Is Never Finished (So Stop Waiting for It to Be)
In this episode, Joel and Marissa tackle one of the most common struggles inside the Full Focus community: how to actually end your workday.
295. The Deeper Problem with Distractions
In this episode, Joel and Marissa dig into the real source of distraction—and it’s not your phone, your boss, or the pile of laundry calling your name. Nearly half the time, we’re interrupting ourselves.
294. Want to Succeed? Stop Thinking About Your Goal
In this episode, Marissa and Joel explain why goal-obsession leads to discouragement, procrastination, and rigidity — and why progress actually accelerates when you focus on the process.
293. Spring Clean Your Life (for Your Sanity)
In this episode, Marissa and Joel explore what it looks like to spring clean your life by removing what’s creating friction: too many goals, overly complicated routines, and nagging clutter that drains your attention.
292. Breaking Out of “Busy” (Planning 2.0 Pt. 2)
In part two of this series, Marissa and Joel finish their conversation on Elizabeth Stanley’s Planning 2.0 (from Widen the Window) and get extremely practical: they break down how to use the Ideal Week as a “time budget” that creates margin, lowers stress, and helps you work with your energy instead of fighting it.
291. Moving From Anxiety to Peace (Planning 2.0 Pt. 1)
In this episode, Marissa and Joel contrast Planning 1.0 (fear-driven contingency planning) with Planning 2.0 (intentional, flexible planning rooted in clarity).
290. Your Energy Audit: Why Your Days Feel Harder Than They Should
In this episode, Marissa and Joel explore the “time-energy paradox” and why so many productivity strategies backfire by leaving you exhausted.
289. Your Worst Productivity Habit (It Isn’t Your Phone)
In this episode, Marissa and Joel unpack why we consistently plan for best-case scenarios and then spiral when real life doesn’t cooperate.
288. Work with Your Season, Not Against It
In this episode, Marissa and Joel walk through five “seasons” you may find yourself in—sowing, fallow, tending, pruning, and harvest—plus the hidden danger in each one and the most effective response.
