On this episode of the podcast, I spoke with Austin L Church. Austin is the author of children’s books and a consultant who loves helping people build businesses around the work that doesn’t feel like work to them. We spoke about theming, using physical tools to stay on track, keeping things simple and more. It was a great conversation that I think you’ll enjoy. Here are a few highlights from the show:

Why it’s a great idea to give credit to others (a funny story)

Using notecards

How simplicity is a serious advantage

Focusing on the right things at the right time

Proactively ignoring certain things

Managing complexity

The importance of focusing and finishing

Omission vs. elimination

Why we overestimate what we can do in a day

Overestimating urgency
