🚨 The Forge Your Future Challenge is back – August 7–9, 2025!

Join yours truly, Mike Vardy, for this free 3-day experience to reconnect with what matters, regain control of your time, and set your future in motion. Just two hours a day for three days—no fluff, just focus. Save your spot now: https://mikevardy.com/forgeyourfuture


In this very special "Ask Mike Anything" edition of the podcast, the tables turn. TimeCrafting Trust Premium member and all-around thoughtful guy Tim O’Hare steps in to host and ask me questions submitted by listeners—and some of his own. From the value of journaling to the nuances of urgency, we explore what it truly means to right the ship when your time management feels off course.

This is a raw and reflective episode, recorded live with audience interaction. We talk through everything from tech transitions and app overload to the dangers of measuring productivity purely by numbers. If you've ever felt like you know what to do but still can’t quite get it done, there’s something here for you.

Six Discussion Points

  • Why journaling is my go-to tool for daily course correction—and why it’s easier than most people think
  • How to close the gap between vision and reality using urgency, importance, and thoughtful task breakdown
  • Navigating forced software transitions without losing your workflow (or your mind)
  • How AI can help (or hurt) your attention and task clarity, depending on how you use it
  • How to make progress on tasks you’re procrastinating—even if you "know better"
  • Why I focus more on productiveness than productivity, and how to measure what really matters

Three Connection Points

Whether you’re new to TimeCrafting or a longtime practitioner, this conversation highlights what so many of us wrestle with: the difference between knowing what to do and actually doing it. If you’ve been stuck, scattered, or just seeking clarity, I hope these answers light a way forward.
