In this episode of *The People Performance Podcast*, James and Spencer break down The Covey Matrix—a tried-and-true tool for identifying what truly deserves your focus and energy. Join them as they reveal the four productivity quadrants and how to categorise tasks effectively, bringing structure to even the busiest schedules.

Hear Spencer’s candid thoughts on why social media productivity tips aren’t always what they seem, and get James’s take on why "urgent" doesn’t always mean "important." Plus, Spencer shares his go-to strategy for beating procrastination with the “eat the frog” method, while James explains how strategic, long-term planning can free you from the cycle of constant “firefighting.”

If you’re tired of feeling overwhelmed by endless to-do lists, this episode is packed with insights and humour to help you regain control of your time and achieve real results.
