Beyond the Pastor’s To Do List

In Beyond the To Do List, host Erik Fisher thinks about productivity in holistic and creative ways. If you have a good work ethic, then you want to get things done. However, if you work in a field that requires creativity or intellectual labor (as opposed to physical labor), then this can be a challenge.

Having grown up around so many people who labor physically, I often feel guilty that my labor is so intangible and intellectual (I’m a pastor). So, I often compensate for this guilt by overworking in an attempt to counteract the "lazy preacher" stereotype that lives on in rural areas. However, Beyond the To Do List helped me to think more clearly about what it is that I do and how I can organize to get things done efficiently.

Fisher interviews professionals from various fields to talk about everything from handling email to setting goals to health. In fact, it is the variety of Fisher's guests and topics that make his podcast stand out from others in the productivity field.

Beyond the To Do List is an entertaining way to sharpen your skills as a leader and as a creative. It encourages me to work hard, live life, and go for the next level--to know what my work is and to do it.
