Listen "Busyness is not a routine: The Salesperson's Guide to Productivity Hacks"
Episode Synopsis
While we’re on hiatus preparing for a new season of Rethink the Way You Sell, we wanted to bring you some content from Jeff you probably haven’t heard before. Jeff produced a premium podcast called Deeper Thought from 2020-2022 and you’re about to hear one of those episodes. Enjoy!
Business is not a routine, and sometimes upheavals like the COVID-19 pandemic can shake us out of our normal patterns and open us up to new ideas and ways of working. Host Jeff Bajorek reflects on how the pandemic's disruption led to overscheduling, excessive busyness and a constant feeling of being overwhelmed - chasing your tail on a hamster wheel without making real progress. He admits to biting off more than he could chew during this period and taking on too many commitments.
Bajorek argues that this level of busyness is unsustainable and unproductive. To regain control and find a healthy routine, he recommends actively deciding what activities and projects to stop or put down. Clearing that mental and schedule space allows you to prioritize the highest value tasks, organize your time effectively, and ultimately accomplish more than when you were overwhelmed. Bajorek shares how implementing this mindset has created hours of productive time in his day for activities like prospecting, creating content, and simply having downtime - enabling him to be more effective both professionally and personally.
