In this episode, I’m sharing 10 productivity hacks that have helped me get more done as a web designer, entrepreneur, and agency owner—without burning out. From using automatic time blocking (08:00) to delegating outcomes (13:00), checking email just once per day (19:00), and even listening to soundscapes instead of music to stay focused (03:00)—these are the real-world strategies that work. I’ll also show you how hiring early (11:00), using long-form writing (16:00), and spotting systemization opportunities (20:00) can transform your workflow.
If you want to do more of the right things and less of the wrong ones, this one’s for you.
