082: 7 Secrets to Working Smarter, Not Harder (Be More Productive & Get Hours of Your Life Back!)

I’m really excited about this episode of various productivity hacks for you! As the title says, I’m all about working smarter, not harder. That doesn’t mean that intentional work isn’t important, but instead that we should make the absolute most of our time spent working. Interesting thing: I rarely work more than 40-45 hours in a week for my business, but have been able to build a multiple six-figure a year business on that time. It’s not about the hours you put in, but about how productive those hours are. 

In this episode, I’m sharing 7 little hacks that help me be more productive — from what I listen to in the workday to managing my calendar! My challenge for you is to pick 2 of these things and implement them into your life this week. Even with just 2, I think you’ll see huge improvements. Now turn up the volume and get pumped for some time-saving hacks!
