About this listen

 Time management, productivity, intentionality, and time-saving strategies all start with understanding that your minutes matter. This podcast explores how to stop doomscrolling, reduce procrastination, and stop wasting time in epic proportions. Listeners will learn how to identify and disrupt time-wasting habits, manage social media use, set realistic goals, and apply practical, sustainable strategies to improve time use at home and in business. Hosted by Michelle Oucharek-Deo, a productivity coach, creative arts therapist, and business entrepreneur with over 30 years of experience, the podcast is grounded in real-world practice. Michelle works with individuals and organizations to redefine productivity in ways that strengthen focus, improve performance, and support sustainable, balanced success with a spark of joy. Each episode is anchored in her Time Core Strategy System, introducing tools such as time recovery assessments, goal alignment, flexible planning, and accountability structures. The result is a practical approach to productivity that not only drives results, but also opens up opportunity, intention, and renewed satisfaction in how someone can break the ‘I don’t have enough time myth.’ and maximize their 168 hours every week. The goal is to help find solutions to the gard questions. How can I be more productive without working longer hours? Why am I so exhausted? How can I get more done without burning myself out? Why do I keep putting my own goals last? How do I create a realistic schedule? What’s the best way to stop procrastinating? How do I take control of my time? How can I be productive and still have energy left at the end of the day? How can I use my time differently this year? How do I stop watching too much TV?Copyright 2026 Michelle Oucharek-Deo Economics Personal Development Personal Success

    What if the key to better focus and more meaningful productivity was waiting for you outside on a forest path or beside a houseplant?

    This conversation weaves together storytelling, decades of therapeutic practice, and real-world productivity coaching to explore how nature can become a powerful ally in how you use your time. From childhood memories of gardening to walking consultations and virtual nature-based productivity sessions, the focus is on slowing down, tuning in, and creating a productivity practice that actually fits your life. Nature becomes both the setting and the catalyst for clarity, reflection, and forward movement.

    Listeners are invited to take immediate action by experimenting with a simple nature-based productivity practice, whether that means misting indoor plants or stepping outside for a mindful walk. By reconnecting with nature, it becomes easier to ask better questions, reduce resistance, and begin shaping a more sustainable and personal relationship with time.

    A system that truly works can change how you experience your days, your goals, and the people you care about most.

    Productivity is not about chasing the newest planner or downloading another app, but about choosing tools that support your real life. From paper planners to digital calendars and hybrid systems, this conversation explores how time management is learned, modeled, and refined over time. The focus is on understanding what you already use, why it works or doesn’t, and how intention turns planning into an action tool rather than a wish list.

    By taking inventory, weighing cost against value, and getting curious about what might be missing, productivity becomes something you shape instead of something that controls you. The reminder is simple and powerful. A system built with intention creates space for balance, presence, and forward momentum.

    What if one simple shift in how you use your minutes could completely change your productivity in 2026?

    This conversation introduces the 42 minute hour, a flexible time blocking approach born out of a real life moment of transition and the realization that time can quietly slip away when it is not used with intention. Drawing on the insight that time can be an ally or an enemy, inspired by Zig Ziglar, the focus turns to understanding how minutes are actually spent and how accountability transforms productivity.

    Through relatable stories of work, creativity, family life, and even rest, this episode explores how the 42 minute hour and its variations help people complete meaningful tasks, reduce overwhelm, and create space for what truly matters. With intention plus accountability, time becomes a practical tool you can shape to fit your life rather than something that constantly works against you.
