  • Summary

  • Welcome to the Do More by Doing Less podcast with Charles Alexander, the show for Small Business Owners, Start Ups, and Busy Folks!

    This is not another productivity, hustle, and grind podcast.

    I literally want you to do less.

    Many of us are overwhelmed, frustrated, and need a break.

    The good news is that we can accomplish much more than now.

    Once we focus on the vital few, and prioritize things that make our lives and the lives of people around us better, we can “do more by doing less”.

    This podcast is funny, simple, and has real-world stories.

    The episodes alternate between my solo podcasts and guest podcasts.

    In the solo episodes I share stories and frameworks from my experience in coaching small business owners and my own entrepreneurship endeavors. Oh, and any other story that can get a laugh while sticking to the theme of the podcast😊

    In the guest podcasts, I will bring on other entrepreneurs who will share their expertise and discuss their own methods for doing more by doing less.

    That’s it.

  • How to Batch Tasks Effectively

    How to Batch Tasks Effectively
    Nov 19 2024
    Ever felt like that amateur juggler with all of your different tasks in a day?

    Show Summary:
    In this episode, we're tackling the chaos of juggling multiple tasks ineffectively, which feels both draining and unproductive. I'll share insights on how to batch tasks to not only enhance efficiency but also to make your workday more enjoyable and controlled. By comparing two different holiday experiences—one efficient and the other haphazard—I'll illustrate the power of strategic task batching and offer practical tips to implement it in your business.
    • Key Takeaways:
    • Batching similar tasks helps streamline your workflow and increase efficiency.
    • Keeping your schedule open without a plan makes you reactive, not proactive.
    • Structured task management can transform chaotic days into productive ones.
    • Identifying and scheduling tasks based on energy levels optimizes performance and satisfaction.
    Embrace structured batching to turn your chaotic juggle into a well-choreographed routine, freeing up more time for what truly matters.

    Mastering the Four-Day Workweek: Strategies for Enhanced Productivity and Balance with Hannah Lee
    Nov 12 2024
    Is a four-day workweek really achievable without sacrificing productivity?

    In today’s episode, I explore the transformative journey of implementing a four-day workweek with Hannah Lee, CEO of Second Mile. We dive into how her team shifted from traditional work hours to creating a more dynamic and effective work environment. Hannah shares the inspirations, challenges, and profound impacts of this shift, emphasizing smarter work, not harder work.

    Key Takeaways:
    1. Shifting to a four-day workweek requires intentional changes in work habits and culture.
    2. Effective communication and strategic planning are crucial to maintaining productivity with reduced hours.
    3. Meetings should be about collaboration, not just updates—turning potential meetings into emails can save countless hours.
    4. Regularly review what meetings and tasks can be streamlined or eliminated to focus on what truly adds value.
    Keep exploring new ways to enhance your work-life balance and productivity.
