Hacks to Improve Productivity [Blitz Sessions] and Eliminate Dead Time (bigly) [💤 + 🌧️]

Joey Montano — Sun, 08 Mar 2020 16:45:00 -0400

If there is one episode that might help alleviate your insomnia and create balance in your awake time, this is it IMO. I explain (my version) of "Dead Time" and how impactful it's been in my day-to-day productivity. Dead time is everywhere and the best we can do is find it, and make it WORK FOR US! I hope this helps you as I explain the concept of "Blitz Sessions" as a way to gamify free-time to visually see and feel accomplishments.

Both of these do have constraints but I firmly believe that finding ways to gamify life is motivation to be productive and a good way to balance life and hence...sleep better. The goal is to get your mind to actively think and to get outside your own head. PLEASE, if this has helped, let me know via twitter or email.

This podcast is best suited for anyone that has insomnia, needs sleep, or just wants to get their mind off their day.

Experiment: Tracking Time For 30 Days to Improve Productivity? [Sleep + 🌧️]

Joey Montano — Wed, 26 Feb 2020 17:15:00 -0500

Inspired by Sam Oven's 'time unit' video, I took it upon myself to tracking time units in 30-minute increments and wanted to share my results. The idea behind this is to not just 'track' how I spend my time but to turn it into actionable metrics that measure how much sleep I get, goal setting for productivity, and realize how much of a sad sack of lazy I was during my funk earlier in the year. If you feeling that you are stretched so thin, it may be time to tackle this head-on (I hope).

This podcast is best suited for anyone that has insomnia, needs sleep, or just wants to get their mind off their day.

Decluttering Emails & Undoing Years of Spam...for your sanity [😴 +🌧️]

Joey Montano — Wed, 19 Feb 2020 17:15:00 -0500

I discuss how too many emails and lack of (my) action have caused me minutes (maybe days) of my life swiping 'ignore' on most emails. No more, I go though how and why this came to be. If it sounds familiar, then I hope you give a listen to the extent of how ridiculous it's gotten. I don't think this is talked about too much on how it affects sleep, but I'd like to take a stab at it.

I'll be damned if spam emails, Gmail promo emails, and years of newsletter opt-ins get the best of my daily productivity and sleeping habits. Seriously, in the journey to find the perfect sleep, I own up to my electronic demons that I often ignore but still spend minutes daily swiping (ignore) instead of dealing with the problem head-on. Screw inbox zero, how about 'distraction zero please'?

This is best suited for anyone that has insomnia, needs sleep, or just wants to get their mind off their day.
