  • Ken and Nick get existential on an episode that was supposed to be about lighthearted "Productivity Pranks". While they do talk about the "pranks" of working longer hours and perpetual planning, Ken and Nick also stumble into a discussion about the concept of "enough" and their discomfort with stillness. Along the way, they invite listeners to simply start that one project they've been procrastinating on and they share some of the anxieties that they care around with them.

  • RIP Hot Girl Winter. We hardly knew ye.

    Marissa talks about the unraveling of Hot Girl Winter and Ken discusses what went wrong with his family SOP. This episode is a dive into the chaos of missed targets and unexpected turns. It's a good reminder that even the best-laid plans can run straight into sickness or an icy front porch. What we do know is that something WILL get in the way of your goals, but the most important question is: How do you move forward from here?

  • This episode is absolutely for you even if you don't think it is.

    Even though this is a show about goal achievement and productivity, it's also a show about the Double Win. That means winning at work and succeeding at life.

That doesn't just mean your partner, it means your children, your parents, your colleagues, your neighbors... you can find deep and fulfilling relationships everywhere. You just have to be intentional.

    If that isn't a good enough reason to listen, then here's something else: Research tells us that people with deep, fulfilling relationships live happier, healthier, and longer lives.

  • As you know, the Full Focus Planner is built on the structure of the Daily Big 3, Weekly Big 3, Quarterly Goals, and Annual Goals. You take big ideas and distill them down into daily actions. But, if you just stop at annual goals, then you're missing a larger piece of the puzzle. How do you even know which goals you should be setting each year if you don't have a larger vision for what you want your life to look like?

    In this episode, Ken is joined by Full Focus's Chief Content Officer, Joel Miller. Joel talks about the importance of having a life plan as it applies to setting the goals you need to get where you want to go. Finding your overall "Why" is a huge element in finding the motivation you need to succeed at your tasks daily.

  • We're at the end of January and, for some of your goals, you might be hitting the messy middle. This is a great opportunity to reconnect with your "why". Why are you pursuing this difficult goal in the first place? Who are you trying to become?

    That's where the idea of a Life Plan comes into play. In today's episode, Marissa is joined by Full Focus Founder, Michael Hyatt. They share the five hidden costs of not having a life plan. A life plan provide you with a GPS so that you can become the person that you want to be in the next decade or more. And once you know who you want to be, then you can make sure you're setting goals that point you in the direction you need to go.

  • Merry Christmas! With Christmas falling on a Monday, it is safe to assume that most people's routines are a bit jumbled this morning. So, rather than an entire episode about goal achievement, we thought we'd just pop in and provide you with some comfort on this Christmas morning.

  • Shakespeare once said, "What's past is prologue." Basically, the past is just the beginning of what comes next. There is, perhaps, no other moment when that is more clear than at the end of the calendar year. While it is tempting to simply start making new goals for 2024, it's important to stop and make sense of what happened in 2023. That look back is how we learn and grow.

    In this episode, Marissa and Ken talk you through completing an annual review to set yourself up your best year ever. Also, the crew debates the merits of the rituals of the rich and famous.
