If you consider yourself a “productivity geek” (like me), then chances are you’ve come across the “80/20 principle” at one time or another.
The 80/20 principle, also known as Pareto’s Principle, was named after the Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto. The principle states that 20% of input or effort generates roughly 80% of your output or results.
Since June 2017 when I went full-time on my business I’ve been working from the BizDojo co-working space in Takapuna, New Zealand.
I often get asked to give recommendations on books to read or podcasts to listen to. In this post, I’d like to share some podcasts I’ve recently been enjoying.

Listed below are the shows I’ve been listening to most consistently over the last few months and years. These are the shows I’m most excited about when new episodes come out.

You know all that work you’ve started throughout the day that hasn’t been finished? Or the people you’re waiting on responses from. How do you deal with this stuff so that nothing falls through the cracks?
Over the last 10 weeks, I’ve been taking part in the Wim Hof Method online training program (affiliate link). In this post, I’d like to share my experience with the program and the effects I’ve noticed as a result of Wim’s method.
