#52 5 Simple Productivity Tools You Already Have (But Probably Aren't Using)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if the key to getting more done isn’t adding new apps or complicated systems—but simply using the tools you already have?
In this episode of the Wholistic Productivity Podcast, productivity coach Chris LeBrun shares five practical tools that can dramatically improve your productivity without costing a single dollar. Instead of chasing the latest productivity hacks, Chris explains how to work smarter by focusing on what actually moves the needle.
Drawing on the 80/20 principle, Chris walks through simple strategies that help you prioritize meaningful work, stay focused throughout the day, and follow through on your goals. These tools are accessible to everyone and can be implemented immediately—whether you prefer digital systems or a more analog approach.
You’ll learn how to use your calendar, reminders, daily reviews, journaling, and intentional language to create more structure, reduce overwhelm, and build momentum toward your goals. Chris also shares how these habits fit within his broader Wholistic Productivity philosophy, which encourages balanced progress across professional, personal, and purpose-driven areas of life.
If you’ve ever felt busy but not productive, this episode will help you refocus on what matters most and show you how to start making meaningful progress today.
Listen now to discover how a few simple adjustments can help you dream big, plan smart, and live fully.
