Two of the biggest barriers to our productivity as students and professionals are over-complicated systems that don’t work and disruptions to our focus.

In this month’s Q&A episode of the Learn and Work Smarter podcast, I answer two listener questions about those exact two roadblocks.

➡️Question One: How do I know if my task management system is working?
➡️Question Two: How do I get my work done when I have so many random meetings?

What You Learn:
Why friction is the top enemy of a solid task management system
Key red flags that your task management system isn’t working
How simplifying your systems improves productivity and lowers stress
How to structure your day when you have unpredictable disruptions
Secret productivity strategies that professionals use to protect their focus and their time

Learn and Work Smarter is my weekly podcast show for students and career professionals who want practical, science-backed tactics to manage work and life without burning out.

I take a compassionate yet direct approach, blending insights from cognitive science with two decades of coaching and teaching experience, and a master's degree in special education. Each episode tackles one concrete strategy—flexible time-blocking, executive-function skill-building, active-recall study methods, note-taking systems that drive action, and more—so you understand why it works and exactly how to apply it.

Expect a mix of solo deep dives, monthly listener Q&As, and expert interviews that unpack real-world challenges in school and work.

If you’re after practical strategies—not empty motivation—and care about results that last beyond the next exam or deadline, this podcast is for you. Tune in, take what you need, and never stop learning.
