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

Dealing with distractions is one of the most common issues I hear people talk about when it comes to productivity. Especially if you work in an office environment, you’re almost guaranteed to have your work disrupted by someone or something in the office hijacking your attention. On top of that, finding time to focus in between meetings, phone calls, email exchanges, instant messages and other distractions is almost impossible. In this episode, I look at advice from best-selling authors on how to created "focussed work" conditions. Show notes: PaulMinors.com/71 If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe to the podcast.

Getting up early is a common trait among many of the worlds top CEOs, creatives and top-performers. Jocelyn Glei, Editor-in-Chief at 99U has found this trait is nearly always present among the most productive people. If you'd like more productive hours in your day consider getting up early and working from 5-6am (which is one of my favourite times of the day). Now, I'm not saying that if you don't get up early or if you prefer to work late at night that you're an unproductive person. At the end of the day, you need to do what works for you. In saying that, if you're a night owl, here are some reasons why you should reconsider your late night habits.

This is a blog post (and podcast) I’ve been dreaming of writing for quite a while (and in fact, is a little overdue). When I first started my side-hustle back in October 2014 I was working full-time in a marketing position. I had a good job, but I always wanted to work for myself; be my own boss, set my own hours (working a lot less than 40 hours per week) and work on projects that I care about. I’d get up at 5am each day and hustle as much as possible before work. During the day, I would watch the clock and be itching to get back home and continue working on my business. I would dream about writing a post like this where I could share my story and transition from full-time job to independent entrepreneur. I also know how hard it can be to leave your job and make the leap to full-time self-employment. And I know how many people out there are still struggling through what I had to go through. If this is you, I hope you can read this post and gain some insights on how to make your own transition to indie-entrepreneur. The good news is that I'm working on a new project that's going to help you to replicate what I've done...

It’s that time of year again, 2017 is upon is and everyone’s thinking about their goals and resolutions for the year. And I’m no different… I’ve decided on three simple things I’d like to do this year. At this point, I’d like to point out, these are things I’ve spent time on in the past, but have had trouble sustaining over the long run. This year, my goal isn’t so much to try these things (as I’ve done them all before) but to practice each of them on a regular basis.
