These aren't just any tips; they're tried and tested strategies that help her juggle multiple roles from being a business owner to a Crossfit athlete. If you're the kind of person who ends the day wondering where all the time went, Oddrun's advice might be your saving grace.
Her first hack is all about journaling, not just to keep track of tasks but to gain clarity on complex problems, much like solving a maths problem with pen and paper. She suggests questions for reflection that could turn your chaotic thoughts into actionable plans. Next up, Oddrun emphasises the importance of scheduling. Whether it's meetings or yoga sessions, putting everything on a calendar helps in visualising your week and staying organised.
She recommends using tools like Google Calendar for seamless integration across devices. Her third hack focuses on getting things done without forcing it. Oddrun advises tackling less enjoyable tasks first thing in the morning and rewarding yourself afterwards. With airplane mode on your phone, distractions are minimised, allowing you to work in focused blocks. Oddrun’s hacks are not just about ticking off tasks but achieving balance without burning out.
So, if you're ready to transform your productivity game, this episode is a must-listen. How do you plan to incorporate these hacks into your routine?
