3 Insights from Frank

1. Minor changes can lead to massive productivity results

Often times, the way your place of work is structured and organized can be the biggest enemy to your productivity. Workplace habits can make or break your bottom line. Find when you are habitually distracted or counter-productive and find a way to stop.

A little more discipline can produce a lot more results. Something as simple as not having chairs in your personal office can have a massive impact on your productivity. It changes all your meetings to standing meetings rather than sitting. Surrounding your workplace with those minor changes are a critical step to reaching your goals.

2. Hurry home 

Highly motivated people are often tempted to “grind it out” and stay in the office for unnecessarily long hours. Eventually, you see that burning the candle at both ends does not lead to getting more done, but will probably lead to you burning out.

If you stay disciplined, you can accomplish the same amount of work in a 10-hour shift with a “hurry home” mindset as an 18-hour shift where you are “just grinding it out.” This is how you can win at work and at home.

3. If you don’t lean into a calendar you give yourself to chaos

Being a slave to your calendar ultimately sets you free. You are free to control what does and doesn’t make it into your life. If you live without control of your calendar, those things that are urgent will begin to take priority over the things that are actually important.

If you take control of your calendar, you can understand the fallout of your schedule-related decisions before you make them. Understanding the consequences is key to making the right choice.

Quotes from Episode 242

In a 1 on 1 meeting, make sure you focus on how the team member is doing as much as you focus on what they are doing. @JeffHenderson Click To Tweet The question I needed to ask was: How do I shift the way I lead at work so I truly have a default to hurry home? @fbealer Click To Tweet There are lots of people that don't lean into a calendar and I would say they are a slave to their chaos. @fbealer Click To Tweet

Next Episode: Rich Birch 

Here’s a question. When 94% of churches aren’t growing, what do the 6% do that the others don’t? Rich Birch has worked at three growing megachurches, and distills the things they do that others don’t in a way that can apply to a church of 50 as easily as a church of 5000. Rich talks to Carey in particular about the nuts and bolts of growing weekend attendance.
