As the end of the year approaches, the Focused podcast partnered with the NeuYear calendar company to create a custom 2020 Focused wall calendar. I’m thrilled with the way this came out, and I can’t wait to hang it on my wall. We intentionally priced this low ($29, including shipping to most places in the US) so people could get these on their walls.
I like the idea of a year calendar on the wall. Not only does it help you plan, but it also gives you something to look at before you say “yes” to any significant commitments. Indeed, that is one of my rules. No “yes” until I see how it looks on the wall calendar. We talk about this at length on a recent Focused episode, but if you’re interested in the calendar, get it now.
Mike and I reveal our obsession with calendars on the latest episode of Focused. We discuss time and tasks, maintaining motivation, and our own calendaring workflows for how we plan our day.

This week on Focused, Mike and I take on the challenges (and rewards) that come with saying “no.”
For those who didn’t catch it, at the beginning of the year the Free Agents podcast transitioned to the new format to talk about how to stay focused in an increasingly distracting world. I feel like the show is really hitting its stride now, and if you haven’t subscribed, I’d ask that you consider doing so. I’m really proud of the work Mike and I have been doing over there.
