Summary

Knowing where to focus can be a huge barrier that, if faced successfully, can have a profound impact on our lives. Today I was joined by Taska, an entrepreneur facing a curveball in her personal life that has her feeling off track and unsure about where to focus so she can continue to grow her business. We talk about prioritizing tasks that will get you closer to your goals and honing in on the vital few rather than the trivial many. I share how to use themed days to focus on specific tasks and how the 80/20 rule can help you make a more significant impact.

What’s In This Episode:

Supporting your work life when your personal life has thrown you a curveball

Prioritizing what you need to do to get closer to your goals

Designating themes to specific days to help drive yourself forward and focus

Using the 80/20 rule to help design your life

0:00.0	Welcome to Productivity Paradox with Tanya Dalton, a podcast focused on finding true happiness through productivity.
0:11.7	Season 12 is different for many she's done before with real conversations, with real women,
0:16.7	applying strategies and concepts explored in the joy of missing out.
0:20.6	This season, you'll learn
0:21.7	how to live more by doing less. And now, here's your host, Tanya Dalton. Hello, hello, everyone.
0:30.1	Welcome to Productivity Paradox. I'm your host, Tanya Dalton, and this is episode 155. Today we're talking about the art of knowing where to focus.
0:43.1	You know, I feel so often that when we talk about the resources that we have of time, energy,
0:49.0	and focus, time is the one that gets the most talked about. You know, I don't have enough time or there isn't
0:55.6	enough time in the day. But our focus is so important in helping us really feel like we're
1:02.3	spending that time on what matters most, which, of course, is the heart of our entire season
1:08.5	about the joy of missing out, right? So I like to tell people that,

1:20.7	It's about living with intention, living a life that's centered on your priorities. And that
1:26.7	means focus. But here's the question.
1:30.3	How do you know what to focus on and how do you really allow for more focus when life

1:43.0	you're a little bit at the mercy of other people?
1:46.0	This is one of the things that I'm truly loving about this special call-in season that we're doing that's so different than what we've done before,
1:53.6	is I'm able to really talk to people who are in positions like this, you know, that are maybe different than what I'm doing currently in my life and to
2:01.8	really apply a lot of these strategies that we talk about in the book. And you see this idea of
2:07.6	knowing where to focus, that's what I'm talking with Taska about today. And you'll meet Taska
2:14.0	here in just a few minutes because I'll let you listen in on our conversation, but you'll see that Tasca is a mom on a mission.
