Summary
Jesse chats with productivity master Jeff Sanders, host of the 5AM Miracle podcast. As the title of his podcast suggests, Jeff loves to wake up early, but he doesn't necessarily think you should. Instead, Jeff focuses on setting clear boundaries around your work time, family time, and personal development time (especially physical fitness).
Especially in the remote working arrangements that are increasingly common today, it's important to separate the home office from the kitchen, living room, and bedroom. Too often the proximity of the home office lures remote workers into working all day, with no clear lines between work time and personal time. This leads to lower productivity, more stress, more burnout, and more tension in relationships. In his podcast and his productivity coaching work, Jeff shows how you can set better boundaries around work and personal life and live life with more intention.

| 0:00.0 | Hello, Wine Abbers. My name is Jesse Mekum. This is podcast number 486 for Wine Abber. |
| 0:09.6 | We teach you four rules to help you stop with impeture to paycheck. Get out of debt and |
| 0:12.9 | save more money. Today, I am pleased to have with me Jeff Sanders. He is a time management |
| 0:17.6 | expert and that's been a little bit of a theme lately with our experts because time and |
| 0:20.5 | money, time is money, money is time. I don't know. But they seem just inextricably related |
| 0:27.0 | to each other. So I have Jeff on the podcast today. Let me give you a little bit of his bio |
| 0:31.6 | because he is one impressive individual. I'll start with the fact that he's a plant-based |
| 0:35.3 | marathon runner. I've never run a marathon, although I have dabbled with plant-based eating. |
| 0:40.5 | So we will maybe be able to connect on that a little bit, but I will say this. He's the |
| 0:45.2 | podcast host of what's called the 5am miracle. It's ranked number one in Apple Podcasts |
| 0:50.1 | for productivity. Now, if you're familiar with the idea of the miracle morning or Jeff's |
| 0:55.7 | the 5am miracle, you'll probably not be too surprised to know that I totally love it |
| 1:01.0 | because I don't believe in the 5am miracle. I actually believe in the 455 AM miracle. |
| 1:06.5 | So we'll get into that. But if you're looking for a way to find more free time, if you're |
| 1:12.0 | looking to be able to use your time more intentionally, if you feel like it's just kind |
| 1:16.8 | of slipping through your fingers, I think you'll really love this podcast. So without further |
| 1:20.8 | ado, Jeff Sanders of the 5am miracle. |
| 1:23.7 | Jeff, welcome to the podcast. Thanks for coming on. |
| 1:29.1 | Well, thanks, Jesse. It's time for you today. |
| 1:31.0 | I'm excited to have you. So let everyone know a little bit about what you do and who you're |
| 1:35.8 | trying to help. |
| 1:36.8 | Sure. I mean, basically what I do is all things productivity. I love the idea of being |
