Productivity Nerd
Podcast Description
A podcast about getting shit done, hopefully in an elegant way that doesn't leave you too broken!
We’re all balancing the need to work enough (enough to make ends meet, not annoy our bosses but also enough that we feel like we’ve done enough, which is a whole different psychological and emotional ball game) with the human need to rest and stay well. And, maybe even enjoy ourselves just a little bit along the way and spend quality time with those we love. And I for one love hearing about how people get more done, more efficiently so that they get more time to do the things they love.

Welcome to Productivity Nerd by Personally Virtual – your go-to spot for smart, slightly nerdy conversations about productivity, time management, and working smarter (not harder!).
Hosted by Virtual Assistant and productivity enthusiast Kathy Soulsby, we unpack powerful tools, books, and habits – from Getting Things Done to Slow Productivity and beyond.
Whether you’re a solo business owner, a time-blocking fanatic, or just looking to tame your to-do list, you’ll find actionable tips, interviews, and real talk to boost your focus and reclaim your time.
Kathy thinks Eat the Frog by Brian Tracy should've been a blog post. Fair enough, it kind of is. But there's one idea worth fifteen minutes of your day, so that's what this mini-pod does with it.
Your ”frog” is the task you're avoiding. The big one. Tracy's whole argument: eat it first, before you've so much as looked at your inbox. Do the worst thing, and the rest of the day gets easy.
Kathy gets into why we spend our energy on busywork instead of the task that actually matters, and the routines that stop you negotiating with yourself every morning at 6am. Multitasking gets a kicking too, obviously. Discipline, it turns out, is just a muscle – use it daily and it stops hurting quite so much.
