Timo Kiander lives in Finland. Timo got his start in IT, where he worked for 15 years and faced the struggles of the cubicle life. Timo’s life changed after he began running and worked up to running a marathon. This lit the fire under his desire to take his physical performance to a new level. About the same time, he read “Getting Things Done” by David Allen and the focus on productivity was interesting to him. So, he began a blog to focus on productivity and he has grown it into his own brand. He eventually was the beneficiary of a layoff from his regular job, which allowed him to fully focus on his passion.

Timo also talks about the following:

• How the domino effect changed him
• Why Timo was fortunate enough to be laid off
• Why a week of intentional poverty each year can help you
• How Timo bridged the gap financially when he went full time at his passion
• The importance of learning and growing
• Even an expert has a day that doesn’t go according to plan
• The most beneficial thing you can do to live the life you want
• Why goal setting should be done top to bottom
• The benefits of focusing on one thing at a time
• The impact on productivity of focusing on just one thing
• The role of your morning routine in productivity
• What a personal development hour is
• How to make sure there is time for everything
• How hyper-productivity can backfire and lead to burn out
