Hard Time Focussing? Here's What to Do

Are you having a hard time focussing on your podcast? Maybe you’re a daydreamer. Maybe something is going on with your family. Maybe you’re devastated at the state of the world. Maybe you’re happy and hopeful and jumping around from thing to thing because you’re so excited. Maybe you have ADHD like today’s guest. I’m speaking with my friend Emily Prokop, podcast editor, host of the Story Behind, and co-host of the Hate to Weight podcast. Emily and I have a lot in common, including being recovering research-obsessed perfectionists. That doesn’t mean we’re natural planners. We definitely fall in the daydreamer category. We still have big goals that we want to accomplish. One very important thing that I learned this year is that there are several different personality types — you can go back and listen to my Myers Briggs episode to hear more about that. Our brains work in very different ways. We’re motivated by different things. Some podcasters are natural organizers and they love talking about spreadsheets and achievements and they thrive on praise. Others are procrastinators, not out of laziness, but out of analysis paralysis and overwhelm, which is the primary reason I started Podcast Launch Academy — to give people the roadmap they need to move out of that. Lack of focus doesn’t mean lack of ambition or lack of interest. Today, Emily and I are sharing our favorite routines and resources to make you a more productive podcaster. We recorded this a few months ago, but the tools and tips we share are timeless. Enjoy. *** Hello. I’m Sarah, your host and founder of Podcast Launch Academy.
