A decade after trading comedy for the world of personal productivity, I can see how that shift wasn’t about efficiency at all — it was the beginning of learning how to shape a life. Here’s how that passion has matured, and how it continues to guide my work today.
There are a ton of task management apps out there. I’d go as far as to say there are too many for the person who wants to use one because they wind up spending a ton of time exploring their options instead of really getting familiar with one and sticking with it. I’ve used many of these apps, and I still do experiment with them because that’s part of the work that I do.
But it’s not all of the work that I do.
Personal productivity rarely starts with a clear mind. It usually starts with a full one. We have so much to do that we can’t possibly be at our best. So we rush in. Like a driver who’s only focused on the destination — not the road. Rushing in is rarely the best course of action.
Every meaningful “yes” requires a “no.” Here’s what I’ve let go of—and why choosing fewer priorities has strengthened my work, focus, and family life.
