My number one idea for unleashing personal productivity

Many people ask me how I have so much personal productivity. “Don’t you ever sleep?” I was recently asked!

If you observe my social media stream you could certainly get an idea that I’m a workaholic.

• I recently wrote that I have 20 different income streams
• In “normal times,” it’s not uncommon for me to have three keynote speechesor consulting trips in a week. I’ve worked with amazing brands like Adidas, Hanes, and Dell.
• I host a marketing retreat called The Uprising.
• I blog every week, have had The Marketing Companion podcast for seven years, and I’ve written eight books in 10 years.
• I teach digital marketing at Rutgers University a couple of times a year and do guest lectures at other universities that assign my books to their classes.

And yet I feel I have a high degree of personal productivity with a fun and balanced life.

• I spend a lot of time with my family and also take a considerable amount of time to mentor inner-city children.
• I exercise regularly, including hiking, biking, kayaking, and tennis.
• I take a lot of vacation time, including the entire month of July last year.
