So much of how we spend our time is shaped by invisible rules we never agreed to. From how often you check email to how long you take to reply, these “time rules” run in the background - until you stop to question them. 

In part two of this conversation, New York Times bestselling author Chris Guillebeau joins me to talk about how to break free from these hidden rules and why living well beats chasing productivity hacks any day. 

Chris shares the question that helps him reset when he feels stuck, the “eighth day of the week” exercise that can change how you use your time, and his take on why the system or app you use doesn’t really matter. 

In this episode, Chris and I talk about: 
The “eighth day of the week” exercise for making time for what matters 
How to spot the hidden “time rules” running your life 
The 40-minute reflection rule that helps Chris stay on track 
Why Chris believes the greatest productivity hack is to love what you do 
How to decide what really matters—day by day, moment by moment 

Key Quotes: 

“I thought I was getting better at the wrong things.”

“The greatest productivity hack is to love what you do.”

 “How valuable were my last 40 minutes?”

 “Did today matter?”

How I Work

Have you ever wondered if the world's most successful people construct their day differently to you? How I Work delves into the tactics, rituals and tricks they use to achieve so much more than the average person, despite having the same number of hours in the day.

Have you ever wondered if the world's most successful people construct their day differently to you? How I Work delves into the tactics, rituals and tricks they use to achieve so much more than the average person, despite having the same number of hours in the day.

The time rules you didn’t know were running your life according to Chris Guillebeau (Part 2) 

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/fa326977-3de5-4283-9b8b-af3500c58607/clips/84c10b5c-76ff-4a62-a1b9-b2ea000bd56c/transcript

You can be ticking off goals, crushing deadlines, and still feel like you’re missing the point. If your time and energy aren’t going where they should, it might be because you’re tracking the wrong scoreboard. In this episode, we explore how to reset the way you measure progress - so your actions align with what truly matters. 

I’m joined today by Sahil Bloom, New York Times bestselling author of The Five Types of Wealth and Managing Partner of SRB Ventures. Sahil shares how to stay grounded in the middle of chaos, build richer relationships, and create space for reflection - without needing a complete life overhaul. 

We unpack how to spot when you’re drifting, what a broken scoreboard looks like, and why tiny rituals can have an outsized impact when life gets overwhelming. 

Sahil & I discuss: 
Why the scoreboard you use shapes your priorities and choices 
Sahil’s monthly “think day” and how it helps him course-correct 
A mindset shift that radically simplified his business and life 
His “buyer or seller” test for deciding what to drop 
A 3-minute journaling ritual that helped him survive book launch 
The underrated power of sending thoughtful messages to friends 
What “social wealth” really means—and why it’s the key to a great life 
How he fuels creativity through reading, walking, and reflection 
His cautious take on AI’s future impact on work and society 
A simple way to start your day that replaces doomscrolling with curiosity 

Key Quotes 
“If you have the right scoreboard, your actions align around the right things. If your scoreboard is broken, your actions will be too.” 
“When you think something nice about someone, let them know right then.”

Tired of typing prompts into AI tools and reading static answers? There’s a better way. Advanced voice mode lets you talk to your AI - brainstorm ideas, rehearse tough conversations, and get real-time feedback like you would from a coach or a collaborator. 

In this episode, we are joined by Inventium’s GenAI expert Neo Aplin to break down what advanced voice mode is, how it works, and why it might just change the way you use AI forever. 

In this episode we learn: 
What advanced voice mode actually is (and why it feels so natural) 
The Gen AI tools that offer voice mode (and how to find it) 
Creative ways to use it for work - like brainstorming, ideation, and role-playing tough conversations 
Surprising personal uses for voice mode, including self-reflection and emotional processing 

Key quotes: 
“It's not like you're talking to a robot. It’s much more like you're talking to a human.” 
“It’s great for scenarios, ideation, workshopping, and self-discovery.”

What are values really - and how do you know if you’re living in alignment with them? In this episode, I sit down with clinical psychologist Dr. Emily Musgrove (aka Dr. Em from The Imperfects) to explore how we get stuck in patterns of people-pleasing, avoiding conflict, and living on autopilot - and how to reconnect with the things that matter most. 

Dr. Emily Musgrove is a clinical psychologist, author of Unstuck, and the Resident Psychologist on Australia’s top mental health podcast, The Imperfects. In this conversation, we delve into how to recognise when you're out of sync with your values, why it's challenging to break free from people-pleasing habits, and what it truly means to say no without guilt. 

Dr. Em shares: 
How to tell if you’re living out of alignment with your values 
Why “health” isn’t actually a value (and what to focus on instead) 
The 80th birthday party exercise: a tool for reflecting on what really matters 
The ACT Bullseye: a practical tool for assessing how you’re living 
Dr. Em’s “corridor meditation” (and why she does it in the hallway) 
The phrase that helps Dr. Em create distance from negative thoughts 
Why people-pleasing is so common - and how to break the pattern 

Key Quotes 

“Values are like heading west - you never get there. It’s an ongoing direction to return to.” 

“The question is: What is this yes for?” 

“I’m noticing I’m having the thought that I’m a failure. That tiny shift creates space.”
