342: Instant Productivity: Four Daily Tasks, Get Your Groove Back, Reduce Anxiety, Find Motivation, and Make Money with Lance Tamashiro

Lance Tamashiro returns to the show (he was one of our earliest interviews) to talk about finding the sweet spot for your productivity, your day, your emotional state-of-mind and your online business. We talk about how to get excited, how to deal with any personal issue you have (step 1: vocalize it, step 2: get perspective, step 3: listen to advice). Don't keep a to-do list, use an online calendar, get a coach, complete some daily actions, move closer to the goal, and remember: somehow you've made it through your difficulties up till now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q51emEI7HvA Quotes:                                                                                                                                    “If everything is a top priority for your business, then nothing is a priority.
