From 1,372 Unread Emails to Total Clarity: 7 Post-Vacation Productivity Hacks | EP 28

After a vacation, the to-do list is endless: hundreds of emails, kids’ schedules, business tasks. It’s easy to feel paralyzed instead of productive. In this episode, I share 7 practical hacks that help me get back into the game fast — the exact system I use to run a fund, teach investing, create content, and be present for my two boys.
You’ll hear how I:
Clear my mind and prioritize so the urgent doesn’t drown out the important
Plan the week and each day in advance so I never sit at my desk wondering what to do
Add one small improvement every week that compounds into massive productivity gains
I also show you how these hacks connect directly to investing — because most people don’t fail at investing for lack of knowledge, but because they never sit down and actually do it.
If you’re ready to hit the ground running after a holiday (and build wealth while you do it), this episode is for you.
