If you’ve ever found yourself frustrated by a planning or productivity system — or wondered “why can’t I just stick to this?”- this episode of The Leaders Kitbag is for you. It may not be a discipline problem at all. Instead, it could be a mismatch between the tool you’re trying to use and how you actually perceive time. In this episode, I explore why so many productivity and planning tools are built with through-time people in mind, and why those with an in-time perspective often find them restrictive or draining. You’ll discover: The difference between in-time and through-time approaches to planning Why one-size-fits-all productivity advice often fails A simple 3-3-3 formula for in-time leaders to stay focused while retaining flexibility This is about working with your natural strengths, not forcing yourself into someone else’s system. For the First Time Ever: Join My Open Leadership Programme For the first time ever, I’m opening up one of my most practical and impactful leadership programmes to the public. Normally, I only deliver this training inside organisations, but due to repeated requests from smaller businesses and individual leaders, I’m creating a brand-new open cohort. Here’s what’s included: 4 x half-day interactive workshops 1-hour Learning Transfer Session Small group format (max 18 delegates) Indicative cost: £540–£600 (VAT included), with payment plans for self-funders This is a first-of-its-kind opportunity to access the same training I usually deliver privately to companies. I’ll only run it if I get 30+ expressions of interest. Register your interest here.
