PMP #212: How to keep your productivity system simple

PMP #212: How to keep your productivity system simple

Author: Paul Minors May 3, 2021 Duration: 10:33
If you want to be more organised and effective at managing your time, the key is simplicity. People often come to me for help because their systems are overly complicated and hard to manage. They tell me they spend more time maintaining their system than they do actually doing important work. As I’ve created and shared videos and blog posts, people often tell me how organised my systems appear to be. There’s no real secret other than I try to make things as simple as possible.

Paul Minors has built a life where his work fits around his interests, not the other way around. In The Paul Minors Podcast: Productivity, Business & Self-Improvement, he digs into the practical systems and mindset shifts that make that possible. This isn't about abstract theory; it's a direct conversation about the tools and tactics for automating tasks, streamlining business operations, and fundamentally redesigning your time. Paul speaks from his own experience as a virtual consultant, breaking down how he structures his income and manages projects to maintain freedom and control. Each episode feels like a focused workshop, whether he's dissecting a specific productivity app, exploring a business growth principle, or interviewing someone who has mastered their own workflow. You'll find a consistent theme woven through the podcast: that real self-improvement is measured in reclaimed hours and reduced friction, not just positive thinking. It's for anyone who feels their days are slipping away in administrative loops or reactive work, and who believes there must be a more intentional way to build both a living and a life. The discussions are grounded, often technical in the best way, and always aimed at delivering something you can apply immediately to work smarter.
