The 15-Minute Method with Author Sam Bennett

In this episode I speak with the very fun and engaging Samantha Bennett about how to tap into and explore the things that bring you joy in a way that’s reasonable and not at all intimidating. We discuss her latest book The 15-Minute Method: The Surprisingly Simple Art of Getting It Done, which isn’t just about productivity hacks or working more efficiently. Instead, it asks us to adjust our outlook and realize an important truth: we don’t achieve more simply by doing more — we achieve more by doing more of the things that matter.Sam is a writer, speaker, actor, teacher, and creativity-productivity specialist and author of the bestselling, Get It Done: From Procrastination to Creative Genius in 15 Minutes a Day, which Seth Godin described as “An instant classic, essential reading for anyone who wants to make a ruckus.”This bestseller was followed by, Start Right Where You Are: How Little Changes Can Make a Big Difference for Overwhelmed Procrastinators, Frustrated Overachievers and Recovering Perfectionists.
