The Paul Minors Podcast: Productivity, Business & Self-Improvement

We’ve all experienced that feeling of being “too busy”. When you feel like you have so much to do and never get a break.

I’ve been thinking about how to take back control of my calendar and deal with this issue of being “too busy”. If you’re stuck in the busy trap, I hope th...

One of the reasons we enjoy taking time off and going on vacation is that we get to temporarily step outside of our normal routines. But we often get to the end of that holiday, thinking: “I’m looking forward to getting back into a good routine”. Weird right?! Right off the bat, I’m going to say “Yes, it’s good to have routine”.
