Do you ever wish you could be a more focused leader, a calmer thinker, a more productive worker? Do you ever get to the end of the day and wonder what you actually accomplished? This week’s guest is renowned productivity and time-management expert Dave Crenshaw. In our interview, Dave and I go in-depth on how leaders can maximize their most precious asset, time, leading to higher profits, higher quality of life, more time to spend with their families, and higher work satisfaction. We discuss the myth of multitasking and its huge costs to our businesses and happiness; why the most successful leaders say NO far more often than they say YES; how to determine which tasks to spend your time on and which to delegate… and more. This episode may just change the way you think about and spend your time.

In his latest book, The Power of Having Fun, productivity expert Dave Crenshaw gives us permission to have fun. Seriously! According to Crenshaw, we all need to take breaks—lots of them—every day, week, month, and year. In fact, the best way to be productive is to have fun every day all year long. So, Crenshaw teaches us how to incorporate having fun into every aspect of our lives. After you listen to him, you’ll be back in the sandbox taking back your recess time!
00:15 Intro to Dave Crenshaw, author of The Power of Having Fun
01:10 Having fun helps us be more productive
02:10 Crenshaw uses “desert” and “oasis” metaphors
02:25 “Desert” = an extended period of deprivation and/or chaos (as defined by you)
03:45 Most common deserts: career and retirement
05:40 59% of people unhappy at work but push hard to retirement anyway
06:20 Taking time for an “oasis” actually helps us get to the other side
06:50 Oasis = a planned, scheduled break (as defined by you)
07:20 Taking a vacation can perpetuate the “desert” mentality
08:00 More than 600 million vacation days go unused annually
08:30 Hard work necessary for success
08:40 10% of our awake time should be “oasis” time
09:25 Prescheduled times to step away from work refreshes us
09:45 “W.I.S.H.” - worth it someday, hopefully
10:25 Permission – the first stage of having fun (not feeling guilty)
10:45 Research shows those deprived of dopamine get worse at task
12:10 Short breaks (not a vacation) help us perform better
13:30 Clearly defined fun time (not one activity coupled with another)
14:00 If you’re traveling through the desert, is water something you earn for good behavior?
14:15 Fun is a requirement!
15:05 Playing is almost a human right
15:45 “W.I.N.” – worth it now
16:05 Discovery – tough step for adults who’ve forgotten how they like having fun
17:00 “Recess” has been stolen from us
17:10 World Health Organization (WHO) determined playing is a basic right of children
17:30 Children with recess time pay attention and have fewer behavioral problems
18:40 Children always find a way to play, have fun, and entertain themselves
20:10 Lean away from costly breaks; save those for yearly play
20:30 Oasis intervals (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly) determine time and money spent
21:25 Most of our fun should be free to very inexpensive
22:10 It’s not time management; its focus management
22:30 Massive difference between being distracted and having fun
23:10 Trap: waiting to finish everything before having fun
23:35 Oasis should be one of the first things on the schedule
24:25 How to create and honor a family oasis
25:15 Relationship deserts let them dry up and fall apart while driving toward success
26:25 Spending time in loving relationships enhances our business endeavors
26:30 If you want children to succeed in school, have fun with them
27:00 “Me” time vs. “them” time: planning family oasis time that suits the needs of others
30:00 We have far more control over our own time than we think
31:10 Discover your “ultradian rhythm” – work/activity cycle within a day (90-120 min.)
33:20 Trust that fun and play truly makes you more productive
34:10 Staying at home with children can be its own desert
34:40 Find a moment – a gap in the day – then reserve it, guard it
35:30 Anticipating the fun can help get us through the desert (a “pre-ward,” not a reward)
