Summary
Productivity - not a fun word for most people. Well, what if there was a way to quickly figure out what matters most, focus in on that, let go of everything else, then go from idea to done? To become a productivity Jedi. That is what we're talking about in today's powerful conversation with Start Finishing (https://amzn.to/2MRYpgA) author, and founder of Productive Flourishing (https://www.productiveflourishing.com/), Charlie Gilkey. We dive into Charlie's specific ideas around why so much of our effort to be productive fails, and how to rewire our brains and schedules and actions for finishing and finally feel good about what we're accomplishing. Along the way, we explore how Gilkey's highly-unique background as a philosopher, military logistics officer, productivity strategist and consultant to creative professionals, founders and fast-growth entrepreneurial teams has shaped his powerful lens of going from idea to done.

| 0:58.5 | So two questions that I tend to hear all the time are how do you figure out what to |
| 1:09.6 | focus on on any given time? How do you choose the thing to devote all of your super precious |
| 1:15.8 | waking hours to that is really the right thing, the thing that makes you come alive, the |
| 1:19.6 | thing that is your best work. And then once you make that choice, how do you actually |
| 1:24.8 | do it? How do you go from starting to moving through the entire process to not dropping |
| 1:29.4 | the ball, to not burning out, to taking that thing in your head, the thing that you really |

| 1:39.4 | how to get all the way through it and not knowing how to get it, do that final place |
| 1:42.7 | where it's done and you feel amazing, you just kind of walk away. So how do you go pass |
