‘Busy’ is the new ‘fine’: we’re always running one thing to the next, squeezing in workouts between work, social and family life. It can often feel like there’s never enough time for catching up on interests, learning a new skill or cultivating better habits. Luckily, coffee is no longer the only thing we take on the go. Making it easy to access information, podcasts can be a great tool to boost productivity even as you go about your day. Check out Compare Retreats favourite podcasts to boost your productivity now.
The 5 AM Miracle
You don’t have to get up at 5AM for this one, but you might want to once you’ve listened to an episode or two. Finding time to eat breakfast can prove difficult enough without having to worry about effectively using your time in the morning, but keynote speaker Jeff Sanders’ podcast The 5 AM Miracle helps you make the most of your mornings with habits anyone can implement into their routine. He often invites guest speakers to share their own methods of becoming high-achieving productive people.
The Productivityist Podcast
Personal wellness doesn’t stop at physical health but extends to the habits we train ourselves to make. A weekly show hosted by productivity strategist Mike Vardy, The Productivity Podcast is a time-management and personal productivity show which shares data and analysis into the science of productivity, exploring topics such as mindfulness and ADHD. The podcast is a great way to learn how to improve workflow and efficiency.
Getting Things Done
Cutting to the chase, Getting Things Done acknowledges that we often get stuck behind planning and strategising, and never actually get round to doing it. The podcast speaks with a different person in every episode, each with a unique method of beating procrastination, discussing subjects such as the complexity of the workplace, leadership and entrepreneurship.
Self-Made Man
While the name of Self-Made Man might suggest otherwise, advice on Mike Dillard’s show lends itself to both men and women, focusing primarily on marketing but occasionally touching on topics such as health and fitness. Featuring individuals from the business space, this podcast offers tips on self-earned success and the mentality behind achieving it.
Home Work
For all the benefits of working remotely, anyone who’s done it will know there are days where productivity seems to be off the cards. Home Work is a podcast for those working from home, sharing the motivational opportunity seen within the flexibility and comforts of your own living space.
