[5:28]  The Era Of Digital Distractions [10:03] Streamlining Your \u201cSystems\u201d [13:59] Strategies To Stay More Focused & Productive [21:29] Boundaries: Your Secret Weapon [25:59] Setting Up Your Day For Success [35:06]  & Many More!    Quotes   \u201cOur brains are made to be scanners, as opposed to men [who] find it easier to focus on one thing. Think way back to caveman times. You had four, five, kids running around and you had to know where all of them were. So our brains just naturally scan\u2026 These are things that have served us very well. But in this digital environment that we're living in, this exploits the strengths that we have.\u201d [6:21]   \u201cThere\u2019s so many things that are going to interrupt us that the things we can control we need to put boundaries in place.\u201d [25:59]   \u201cHow you start your morning with what you eat and drink sets the tone for the whole day. It's the same regarding your productivity. When you start your day and you're on your phone, you\u2019re letting other people\u2019s agenda set your agenda for your day. And it's hard to fully recover from that\u2026 As opposed to starting your morning on your priorities and then after you get your most important things done, then you tune in to what else is coming at you.\u201d [35:15]   \u201cI used to think of boundaries with such a negative connotation. Now that I\u2019ve gotten older and I\u2019ve started putting boundaries in place. For me the boundaries and structure has created more freedom for me and I didn\u2019t see that before. And it is so magical and incredible.\u201d  [41:17]   \u201cWe lose hours, and I mean hours of a day to digital distractions if we\u2019re not consciously putting in place boundaries. I don\u2019t know about you \u2014 but I don\u2019t have hours a day to give up to that kind of stuff.\u201d [46:07]   Resources Mentioned    \ud83d\udd17 Morning Mastery Class: A One-Day Workshop Where You Unplug And Become Laser-Focused On Your Top Priorities   \ud83d\udd17 Out of Overwhelm Exercise: 3 Steps To Get Out Of Overwhelm And In Control Of Your Task List   Bonus    Learn more about NJ here \ud83d\udc49 https:\/\/njshelsby.com\/    Connect with NJ on her socials     \u2728Facebook - https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NJ.Shelsby  \u2728Linkedin - https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/njshelsby\/    Learn more about me here \ud83d\udc49 https:\/\/www.soulfueledlife.com\/       Connect with me on my socials  \u2728Facebook -  www.facebook.com\/shayhrobsky  \u2728Instagram -  www.instagram.com\/shayhrobsky    Dive into a world where a good life and merry festivities come together \ud83d\udc49 https:\/\/www.christmasroad.com\/    Like this episode?    Subscribe to my podcast on iTunes or Spotify.
