On your host, Trish Blackwell, internationally recognized confidence coach, best-selling author, and founder of the College of Confidence, the most encouraging place on the Internet.

I teach go getters in life, how to take their thoughts captive, how to step out of the shadows of self-doubt, and how to courageously step into their purpose with confidence.

It's time to pump our confidence muscles and train our thoughts y'all. Let's get started.

Without guys, it's Trish Blackwell, and you're listening to The Confidence Podcast Episode 518.

This is a listener-requested topic and a topic that I absolutely jam out on talking about because who doesn't love some productivity hacks?

Who doesn't love getting stuff done? I know I do, and I can't wait to share with you what we're talking about today.

We're talking about how to have more discipline and be more productive because increased productivity and increased discipline means that you make more progress on what matters to you and you have more free time as you do.

You're going to learn in today's episode how to increase your self-discipline and your personal productivity with some time management hacks and mindset shifts that I cannot wait to share with you.

You're going to see, when you implement these, you'll see a change in how you approach your life management right away.

More specifically on today's podcast, we're going to talk about how to shed your old bad habits. It's not that you don't have willpower, it's not that you're not disciplined,

it's not that you get scattered brained. It's just that you have the habit of allowing yourself to indulge in distraction.

So we're going to talk about that. It's a habit, it's not who you are, it's really important that we separate the identity from the habit.

We're also going to talk about how to have more discipline in general and then more importantly, understanding why you don't.

And it's not something wrong with you, it's just a strategy. We just have to shift a couple of things. There's not this massive overhaul that you have to do and being a better person and being more focused and trying harder.

It's not trying harder, it's working smarter. And we're going to talk in general about how to be more productive.

Now before we go into today's coaching, I always love to share a quick announcement and a review of the week.

The quick announcement is super exciting and it's super simple.

The month of November is going to be one of the best months we've ever offered in the college of confidence.

And if you've even just thought about joining, this is the month to join. It's called double coaching month. What does that mean?

It means we are doubling down and offering double the live coaching. So every single week we have a live life coaching session Q&A ask anything.
