00:00:04.160 --> 00:00:06.919
<v Speaker 1>Helping leaders motivate their people to a higher level of

2
00:00:06.960 --> 00:00:11.679
<v Speaker 1>performance through strong human relations, team building, and golachieving. This

3
00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:16.359
<v Speaker 1>is the seven Minute Leadership Podcast with your host Paul Fellavledo.

4
00:00:21.079 --> 00:00:24.920
<v Speaker 2>Hello everyone, and welcome to the seven Minute Leadership Podcast.

5
00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:30.559
<v Speaker 2>It's episode four fourteen. Let's talk about productivity, not the

6
00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:34.359
<v Speaker 2>corporate buzzword kind. I'm talking about the kind that gets

7
00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:38.600
<v Speaker 2>things done, the kind that clears your desk, moves the needle,

8
00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:43.759
<v Speaker 2>and gives you back your time. Every leader I know

9
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:47.759
<v Speaker 2>is chasing the same thing, more results in less time.

10
00:00:48.479 --> 00:00:53.079
<v Speaker 2>But here's the truth. Most don't admit. Busy isn't productive.

11
00:00:53.719 --> 00:00:57.000
<v Speaker 2>You don't get bonus points for being overwhelmed. You get

12
00:00:57.039 --> 00:01:02.039
<v Speaker 2>results for being efficient, focused, and deliberate. So today I

13
00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:06.280
<v Speaker 2>want to share a battle tested blueprint for maximizing your

14
00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:10.920
<v Speaker 2>productivity as a leader. These aren't time management gimmicks. These

15
00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:15.239
<v Speaker 2>are real, usable tactics that can change how you operate

16
00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:21.719
<v Speaker 2>starting today. Tip number one use the three three one method.

17
00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:28.439
<v Speaker 2>Start each morning by identifying three must do tasks, three

18
00:01:28.959 --> 00:01:35.200
<v Speaker 2>quick wins, and one leadership action. The must do tasks

19
00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:39.640
<v Speaker 2>are the mission critical ones. The quick wins are five

20
00:01:39.719 --> 00:01:43.439
<v Speaker 2>minute emails or decisions that clean up your mental clutter.

21
00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:49.840
<v Speaker 2>The leadership action is one thing that helps someone else praise, support,

22
00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:56.239
<v Speaker 2>or mentorship. This framework helps keep your day clear and focused.

23
00:01:56.280 --> 00:02:00.000
<v Speaker 2>It also ensures that you're not just working in your role,

24
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:05.079
<v Speaker 2>but also on your people. Tip number two time block

25
00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:09.319
<v Speaker 2>like a CEO, you can't lead well in five minute

26
00:02:09.319 --> 00:02:14.639
<v Speaker 2>intervals between meetings. High performing leaders block their day like

27
00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:19.840
<v Speaker 2>it's a revenue generating machine. Here's the simple breakdown. Ninety

28
00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:22.879
<v Speaker 2>minutes of deep work in the morning. This is strategy

29
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:28.639
<v Speaker 2>writing and planning, sixty minutes of scheduled meetings, stack them

30
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:34.639
<v Speaker 2>back to back, thirty minutes of team walkthrough or check ins,

31
00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:40.360
<v Speaker 2>and a fifteen minute reset buffer midday to grab water,

32
00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:44.560
<v Speaker 2>take a quick walk and just breathe, and then admin

33
00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:49.159
<v Speaker 2>time at the end of the day. Protect those deep

34
00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:53.280
<v Speaker 2>work blocks like your company depends on it, because it does.

35
00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:59.120
<v Speaker 2>Tip number three Set up a don't do list because

36
00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:03.680
<v Speaker 2>here's the truth bomb. The biggest productivity killer isn't what's

37
00:03:03.719 --> 00:03:06.759
<v Speaker 2>on your to do list. It's what shouldn't be on

38
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:09.840
<v Speaker 2>there at all. So make it don't do list. These

39
00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:14.080
<v Speaker 2>are tasks you delegate, automate, or delete. Here's a few

40
00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:19.800
<v Speaker 2>examples rewriting emails that someone else can send. Attending meetings.

41
00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:24.800
<v Speaker 2>You add no value to in doing ten dollars tasks

42
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:28.120
<v Speaker 2>when your role is worth one thousand dollars an hour.

43
00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:34.439
<v Speaker 2>Great leaders aren't afraid to clear the clutter. Tip number four.

44
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:41.800
<v Speaker 2>Batch your leadership touch points. Leadership interruptions kill momentum. Instead

45
00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:44.439
<v Speaker 2>of randomly checking in with your team throughout the day,

46
00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:50.159
<v Speaker 2>batch it schedule two fifteen minute pulse check windows during

47
00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:54.039
<v Speaker 2>the day. In those windows, text, call, or check in

48
00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:58.919
<v Speaker 2>face to face, offer guidance, say thanks, ask how they're doing.

49
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:03.680
<v Speaker 2>Group your team leadership into time controlled windows. You lead

50
00:04:03.719 --> 00:04:09.000
<v Speaker 2>with focus instead of reacting all day long. And tip

51
00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:13.319
<v Speaker 2>number five the two minute fix. This one's from the trenches.

52
00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:18.000
<v Speaker 2>It's if something takes less than two minutes, just do

53
00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:22.720
<v Speaker 2>it immediately. That quick reply, that voicemail, that calendar update.

54
00:04:22.839 --> 00:04:26.720
<v Speaker 2>Leaders often let little things pile up until they feel

55
00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:30.000
<v Speaker 2>like big problems knock them out before they ever get

56
00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:34.000
<v Speaker 2>a chance to grow. You'll feel lighter, clearer, and faster

57
00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:38.399
<v Speaker 2>every single day. And here's a bonus trick, use the

58
00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:42.879
<v Speaker 2>Sunday set up. Every Sunday night, I run a fifteen

59
00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:48.160
<v Speaker 2>minute ritual. It's simple and powerful. I write down what's

60
00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:51.240
<v Speaker 2>my number one goal this week, what are my top

61
00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:56.360
<v Speaker 2>five tasks? And where could I lose time or momentum.

62
00:04:56.600 --> 00:05:01.120
<v Speaker 2>It's like sharpening your axe before chopping would that little

63
00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:05.279
<v Speaker 2>investment of time prepares you to lead with direction instead

64
00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:09.879
<v Speaker 2>of reaction, and it eliminates that Monday scramble that most

65
00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:16.240
<v Speaker 2>people live in. So you don't need more hours, You

66
00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:21.680
<v Speaker 2>need more clarity, structure, and intention. Great leaders don't work more,

67
00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:26.800
<v Speaker 2>They work smarter. They don't chase productivity hacks. They build

68
00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:30.759
<v Speaker 2>systems that fit their life and their business. So try

69
00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:33.759
<v Speaker 2>these tips, test them out. Build a rhythm that feels

70
00:05:33.839 --> 00:05:37.000
<v Speaker 2>like you. You're not just leading your team, You're leading

71
00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:40.839
<v Speaker 2>How your time gets spent and how you spend it

72
00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:45.480
<v Speaker 2>says everything about your priorities. This has been the seven

73
00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:48.199
