ABOUT THIS EPISODE
The start of a New year is a natural time to review our daily routines and ask a simple question: Is there an easier or better way to do this? If your productivity system works—but feels heavier than it needs to be—this episode is for you.
In this solo episode of Money Is Not Your Problem, we talk about giving yourself permission to try different approaches to your workday so that important tasks actually get completed. Instead of promoting one “right” method, this conversation invites you to observe how you work now and consider small adjustments that can improve focus, energy, and follow-through.
Inspired by the Eat the Frog approach, we explore the idea of starting with the hardest, most important task—and compare it with another option many people use to build momentum: quick wins. The goal isn’t to choose the “best” rule, but to find what helps you move through your day more effectively.
You’ll hear practical ideas on:
- When tackling the “ugliest frog” first makes sense
- When starting with quick wins can support your rhythm
- Why productivity looks different in different seasons
- How to test small changes in your routine without pressure or guilt
This episode isn’t about doing more. It’s about refining your daily routine, so the work that matters most actually gets done with greater consistency throughout the year.
