44. From “C” Student to Productivity Master — Erik Fisher
from No Fat Cats - A Podcast for Creative Teams · host Wesley Dean
When he was in high school Erik was a self described “C” student who didn’t really like school. He had undiagnosed ADHD which meant that he had a hard time focusing on the right things. Then when he realized that if he set up systems, rules and productivity workflows that he would be able to get the right work done, he became a lifelong learner of the topic. He started the podcast Beyond the to Do List back in 2012 and has produced over 330 episodes. In this episode we talk about he focuses, the journey in starting his podcast and how he is intentional about scheduling social media time. When was the last time that you made a list before you went on social media? He recommends doing that, so that you can connect with people you care about but don’t get stuck in the never ending scroll.
