Episode 48 - Focus To Avoid Overcommitment With Dr. Don Davis

Joining me this time on the Productivity Podcast is Dr. Don
Davis, author, and established coach & consultant for
businesses in the healthcare and life sciences industries.


A big proponent of daily routines and time blocking, Dr. Don
starts off his day by meditating and journaling to close out the
previous day and prepare for what’s coming.


While it may sound weird to you to close a day in the morning of
the next day, this is what works for him and it’s something that
everyone has to take into account when building up a daily
routine.


There are a lot of different routines that big names like Cal
Newport follow that work for them, but that doesn’t mean that
they will work for YOU—trust me on this one, I’ve tried...


You need to find something that works for you instead of trying
to force yourself to follow a routine that was not meant for you.


Dr. Don shared several great methods to deal with
over-commitment, focus, and goal setting in this episode of the
podcast.


My personal favorites are the “DARE” method (listen and find out
more!) as well as time blocking with color coding to show how
much time you’re putting towards your goals.


There are many great actionable nuggets in the episode, and with
all of his experience helping others, I highly suggest checking
out Don’s book (link below), website, and more.
