Blake and Verbs offer three strategies to help you minimize the distractions in your day.
Episodes
190. Three Reasons You Find Yourself in the Distraction Zone
What is your go-to task when you’re supposed to be doing another more important task? Is it organizing your desk? Checking Slack messages? Folding laundry? Whatever your go-to task is, it will lead you to the same place: The Distraction Zone.
189. How to Negotiate Out of Stuff
We’ve all been there: You volunteer to help out with an extra thing at work or you tell a friend that you’ll help them over the weekend. Then, you’re overcommitted. Luckily, there’s a way forward.
188. You Are Who You’re With: Stories of Achievement
We’ve all heard the phrase, “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” But, how does that apply to goal achievement and productivity?
187. It’s Time To Write Your Not-To-Do List
Spring is the perfect time of year to look at your priorities. Think of it as a Spring Cleaning for your priorities! Learn all about why you should make a “Not-To-Do” List.
186. The Most Overlooked Question You Can Ask
When we want to get something accomplished, we tend to think of skills, habits, or tools that we can add to help us reach our goal. However, often times, the real trick to goal achievement isn’t what you can add, but what you can subtract.
185. 3 Steps to Calendar Triage
Verbs, Courtney, and Blake share 3 steps to triaging your calendar when your life suddenly gets out of hand. After that, Courtney speaks with Elizabeth Lynch. Elizabeth is the Executive Assistant for Full Focus CEO Megan Hyatt Miller. Elizabeth shares some insight on how she’s able to keep her home life moving forward without stressing out.
184. Know Your Enemy: Defeating Your Productivity Obstacles
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
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
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”.)
