184. Know Your Enemy: Defeating Your Productivity Obstacles
March 20, 2023 | Productivity Practices

The old saying “Know Your Enemy” is derived from Sun Tzu’s book, The Art of War – a Chinese military treatise that dates back to the fifth century BC. While it’s doubtful that Sun Tzu had your Daily Big 3 in mind (but, maybe he did), we can use that ancient advice to battle the obstacles that stand in the way of achieving our goals.

Courtney, Blake, and Verbs share with you two steps to making headway on defeating your productivity obstacles. After that, Courtney speaks with Full Focus Planner Certified Pro, Gary Smith, about focusing on the Full Focus system in order to achieve success.

183. Remember Why You Started
March 13, 2023 | Full Focus Planner, Goal Achievement

The “messy middle” is a place where we’ve come too far to go back but we can’t yet see what’s up ahead – and it’s normal. In fact, if you haven’t hit the messy middle yet, you probably will soon.

The messy middle is typically where we feel we’ve hit the end of our own resources. It’s at this moment that you have to start getting creative and asking for help. But the most important resource in the messy middle is motivation. And that’s at the heart of what we’re talking about today.

Blake, Courtney, and Verbs talk about two reasons that it is important to remember why you started. After that, Courtney speaks with Full Focus Planner Certified Pro, Valeria Gray. They talk about how she uses the Full Focus System with her clients and offers some tips that you can use right away.

182. 2 Reasons to Trade Remembering for Writing
March 6, 2023 | Goal Achievement

Let’s face it: We have a tendency to be overconfident about what we can remember. We think we’ll remember the important ideas from that meeting or the date of that event or the email that you have to send. By simply relying on our memory to get us through our lives, we put some of our most important goals and priorities at risk.

Blake, Courtney, and Verbs offer two reasons that you should trust your memory less and trust your pens and pencils more. After that, Courtney speaks with Full Focus Planner Certified Pro, Conor Scholes. He speaks with her about how he uses the planner to focus his Enneagram 4 personality.

To reach out to Conor, find him in our Certified Pro directoy: fullfocus.co/directory. (Remember to select the label “Earners”.)
