Productivity is an essential aspect of work and learning, because it’s about utilizing your time and resources effectively. And when you are your own boss, it’s paramount to know how to balance your work life with your personal life.

Time management is basically about figuring out how to spend your time as well as how to shuffle tasks around — or at times eliminate certain tasks altogether — in order to be able to spend your time in the most productive manner.

There are myriad books available on how to manage your time well and be productive. However, for those who love to learn but are pressed for time, podcasts can be a great substitute.

Podcasts are easy to consume and can turn such everyday tasks as commuting to work, working out, cooking dinner or cleaning the house into prime opportunities for learning and self-development.

In each episode, Ferris interviews world-class performers from diverse areas (such as sports, investing, art, business and so on) to extract the tools, tactics and routines that the audience can use. These include their time-management techniques, morning routines, exercise habits, favorite books and much more.

Ditch Busy



Ditch Busy by Kate Erickson focuses on the audience’s relationship with time management. In the podcast, Erickson tries to help listeners take back control of their time, not just in business, but also in their lives.

Erickson encourages, inspires and teaches them how to start embracing time management in a way that doesn’t make them constantly feel overwhelmed. She also talks about how they can choose to spend their time so that in any given moment, they feel fulfilled and aligned with exactly how they want to be living their lives.

The podcast features interviews with people who use productivity techniques in their personal and professional lives, along with the lessons they’ve learned along the way.

Time Management Tips from Captain Time



Time management isn’t just about work, believes Garland Coulson, aka Captain Time, a time management author, speaker and coach. Coulson has spent more than 25 years mastering time management.
