Welcome! Do you need help managing your time and being more productive? Is your life—and your brain—cluttered with a zillion items on your “to-do” list? I have the answer for you! Join me and meet David Allen, a consultant and the author of Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity. His clearly defined methodology holds answers for you in managing your life’s work, from the personal to the professional.

David Allen is widely recognized as the world's leading authority on personal and organizational productivity. Forbes named him one of the top 5 executive coaches in the US and Fast Company Magazine named him one of the world’s most influential thinkers on personal productivity.

 David’s internationally bestselling book “Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity”  has attracted a massive following of devoted fans who swear by his technique. 

 The “Getting Things Done” methodology, also know as GTD, has shown millions how to transform a fast-paced, overwhelming, overcommitted life into one that is balanced, integrated and relaxed. Time Magazine proclaimed “Getting Things Done” to be ‘the definitive business self-help book of the decade.’

But this technique isn’t just for work - it’s a proven path for getting in control of your life.

 In today’s show we discuss all things PRODUCTIVITY. 

 

  • David walks us through his step by step process of “Getting Things Done” 
  •  We learn the 5 simple steps to apply order to chaos
  • David shares his “2 minute rule” for checking things off your to-do list
  • Why do we procrastinate?
  • And we discuss the importance of honoring our commitments to ourselves and why that is sometimes difficult
  • plus much much more 

 

What you’ll hear in this episode: 

 

  • How David ended up where he is today
  • David makes the distinction between what the brain was designed to do and what we want it to do.
  • We try to keep track of everything internally and overload our brains.
  • Understanding “The Open Loop”—loose ends cluttering up our head space
  • Five Simple Steps to help apply order to chaos: Capture, Clarify, Organize, Reflect, and Engage. David explains each step and how to apply it to life.
  • David’s “Two Minute Rule” for getting things done
  • Why his model is a holistic plan, going through ALL the steps to get really clear. 
  • We each have a comfort zone for unprocessed stuff.
  • Why we keep deadlines and commitments to others, but often NOT to ourselves
  • David’s plan can bring you success in ONLY TWO DAYS! It may take up to two years to become a habit.
  • Why do we procrastinate? We are afraid to fail, so we don’t start. It’s the perfectionist trap.
  • David shares his morning routine. You may be surprised at his priorities!
  • Why your lists and processes need a weekly review
  • Why are we here? “To experience who we are at multiple different levels and explore that so we return back to the essence of what we came from”

Howard is a progressive pastor, and while the primary spiritual text he uses is the Bible and the primary example he follows is Jesus, he embraces all religions and wants to use any aspect of religion to deepen a person’s spiritual understanding. In this episode, Howard and I talk about so many important questions surrounding spirituality. I’ll tell you right now, some of Howard’s answers will surprise you. It’s not often you talk to a Christian Pastor who is so open to other points of view. I think this will be a refreshing conversation!

 

In this episode, Howard also shares:

 

 

  • What is a sacred center and why does it matter?
  • Howard’s perspective on the the divine purpose of each individual
  • Why each person has a homing device that constantly brings you back to your sacred center
  • Ways to find your purpose in life
  • We won’t manifest the things we aren’t drawn to
  • Why Howard looks at life differently than most pastors
  • Howard believes in meditation, but his meditation is different than you would imagine
  • Ways set apart meditation enhances our life meditation
  • Why we have trouble being present 
  • Ways we are gifted with the failures and disappointments of our lives
  • Why God is never the author of tragedy.
  • Why we hunger and thirst for - presence, alignment, connection, relationship
  • What we create when we manifest meaningful conversation
  • What Howard does when he feels overwhelmed
  • What sighing does for us when we take the time to sigh
  • The dangers of letting ego over run your life
  • Why Howard is not a fan of the word happiness

I am so excited to have Dr. Lise Janelle, a heart-centered success coach, as today’s guest. I am a huge fan of Dr. Janelle’s work, and it was amazing to be able to have a deep conversation about restoring our connection with ourselves, before we even attempt to connect with others. I learned so much by having this conversation with Dr. Janelle. She discusses how most of us are still dealing with negative conditioning from our past, and the fact that we are all worthy of love isn’t something everyone believes. The good news is there is a path to healing. Dr. Janelle has helped thousands of people move past their limiting beliefs.

 

I was able to get some really good examples of how we are impacted by our incorrect beliefs about ourselves, and she was also able to give us some incredibly valuable advice to change our beliefs.

 

We end the interview with a meditation, so don’t miss out as Dr. Lise guides us in the Heart Freedom Meditation!
