This is not another productivity, hustle, and grind podcast. I literally want you to do less. Many of us are overwhelmed, frustrated, and need a break. The good news is that we can accomplish much more than now. Once we focus on the vital few, and prioritize things that make our lives and the lives of people around us better, we can “do more by doing less”. This podcast is funny, simple, and has real-world stories. The episodes alternate between my solo podcasts and guest podcasts. In the solo episodes I share stories and frameworks from my experience in coaching small business owners and my own entrepreneurship endeavors. Oh, and any other story that can get a laugh while sticking to the theme of the podcast😊 In the guest podcasts, I will bring on other entrepreneurs who will share their expertise and discuss their own methods for doing more by doing less. That’s it. Subscribe now so you don’t miss an episode and have fun listening while you drive, do the dishes, or mow the lawn!","last_synced_at":"2026-06-16T22:17:18.842914+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/do-more-by-doing-less-time-freedom-for-entrepreneurs-small-business-owners-and-solopreneurs-6570871"},"episode":{"title":"Breaking Bad...Habits","slug":"breaking-bad-habits","published_at":"2026-03-17T14:04:40+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/do-more-by-doing-less-time-freedom-for-entrepreneurs-small-business-owners-and-solopreneurs-6570871/breaking-bad-habits","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/do-more-by-doing-less-time-freedom-for-entrepreneurs-small-business-owners-and-solopreneurs-6570871","url":"https://www.spreaker.com/episode/breaking-bad-habits--70687541","audio_url":"https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/70687541/breaking_bad_habits.mp3","summary":"In 2023, I had knee replacement surgery and I went in for several follow-up appointments. It seems like every time I go in for a follow-up appointment, they ask me these same 15 questions they asked me last time, because why would that automate and populate (something about HIPAA, blah, blah, blah 🤔.) I usually get frustrated, but once in a while, I don't mind it so much because I like answering some of the questions. Why? Because I've developed some better healthy habits later in my life than I had earlier in my life. So, we'll, when the questionnaire says, \"Hey, are you on any new prescription medications?\", I get to check. Nope. And if it asks me, \"Have you had any additional surgeries or hospitalizations?\" Sure haven't. What about a smoker? Are you a smoker, Charles? Certainly not. Then it gets to the question, \"Do you drink more than once or twice a week?\" And you know, I lie.

And a bad habit, once ingrained and once wired into us, kind of sticks around forever, until you remove certain cues or rewire it.F or example, I've turned into my dad.At night, 8:30 or so I sit down on the couch or rather the chair with the ottoman and try to watch TV with the family. Something usually wonderful like the Voice, God help us 🤣 and I'll pass out pretty quickly cuz you know, dad stuff.I remember my dad would do that as we were kids and I would try to change the channel and. He instinctively knew and would wake up and say, \"Oh, Tom Watson's on the 18th hole. Put it back.\" How he did that, I didn't know. Now I do, that's called being dad tired 😴. But either way, it sucks and it's not a family-friendly thing to do.Another bad habit I have is…","meta_description":"In 2023, I had knee replacement surgery and I went in for several follow-up appointments.
