How to Build a Productivity Diet That Actually Works for You with Mike Vardy 3v17b

Sick of productivity advice that feels like it was designed for robots or morning people with zero distractions? This episode is the antidote. I sit down with productivity strategist and author Mike Vardy to explore a totally different approach — one rooted in intentional productivity, self-awareness, and deg your own rhythm for work and life. We dive into the core ideas behind his new book, The Productivity Diet, and why the traditional “get more done” model is broken — especially for entrepreneurs, parents, and purpose-driven humans. You’ll learn how to structure your days around your energy (not just your calendar), how to use “mode-based” planning to flow more naturally through your tasks, and why reflection and intention are the secret sauce to sustainable success. This episode is packed with practical tools to help you reclaim your time, plug your energy leaks, and create a productivity system that actually works for you. If you're done with burnout and ready for aligned, personalized productivity — this one's for you. Productivity isn't about doing more — it's about doing the right things, at the right time, in the way that works best for you  What You’ll Learn: Why productivity is personal — and how to find your rhythm How to build a “productivity diet” that fuels rather than drains you The power of journaling and reflection to increase your energy and output Why batching, theme days, and mode-based planning can transform how you work How to use intentions as your com for daily decision-making The truth about energy leaks — and how to plug them fast The biggest mistake most people make when trying to be productive (and how to fix it) Key Resources:Get Mike’s new book: The Productivity Diet (and check out his others too!)
