[00:00:00] The way that I think about being productive is a little bit different than I think a lot of the experts, that it's about doing more or doing faster or even higher value. For me, it's an emotion you feel when you get the results you want. Know that I can't do everything at the same time because I will fail.

We're stretch too thin. There's too many things to be clear. I do love to-do lists. I love them. It's just that we're typically not setting them up in a way that's gonna be successful for you. Instead, our to-do list can often be this super overwhelming list and like it just makes us shut down, get paralyzed, or focus on the wrong things, get very distracted.

As a new entrepreneur, you can get very emotionally invested, emotionally drained, overwhelmed overstretch, and we wanna tap into that in order to set yourself up for success.

Priscilla: Welcome [00:01:00] to The Entrepreneur's Kitchen. Today I have a special guest for you. I have Mridu Parikh , and she is known as the Stress Squasher. Okay, so if you are an overwhelmed, exhausted, overworked, long to-do list, entrepreneur, this is the conversation for you. I'd like you to just start by telling us before you were The Stress Squasher.

, What did life look like? What was going on and how did this all come together?

Mridu Parikh: Sure. First of all, thank you for having me and you nailed my name, which is really unusual, so that's fantastic. Thank you. My previous career that got me into this was that I was a professional home organizer before anybody knew what that was before there was even a thing like that. I could organize homes like amazing garages and closets and all the things.

But quite frankly, my life was a little bit of a mess in terms of my priorities , and my goal setting. I had kids, I was raising a family, taking care of them, and [00:02:00] running the business, and I felt like I wasn't really getting the meaningful things done. So I went on this personal development.

Journey on focus, goal setting, and came out on the other side a couple years later just to really systemizing my life and my business and knocking goals out the door. And I realized, I'm like, listen, I cannot be the only person, the only business owner, the only professional who is struggling with these things.

And so over time, I transitioned from getting organized at home to really systemizing and organizing, your whole life and especially in the workplace.

Priscilla: I love that. You've got the business going, but everything around the business is chaos. And you're making a revenue, but it's just, your life is stressful,

I think a lot of people will be at that point, and take us into the three by three by three method. To

Mridu Parikh: Oh

Priscilla: never heard of you before, who doesn't know what this is about, give us a breakdown.

Mridu Parikh: As a business owner or any work environment, you just have so [00:03:00] many things in the to-do list, it's massive. And there's a million places where you could put your time and energy. And when we look at that list first thing in the morning, we often get. Really overwhelmed. We start procrastinating what we should be doing or mindlessly going through that list over and over and multitasking.

Not really like getting anything meaningful done. That happens to the best of us. It happens all the time. I realized I just needed to simplify, and that's probably like the core value in my practice, is how can we get the meaningful things done in the most simple, easy way. And that's when the three by three by three method was created.

And essentially what that is, is picking three goals every month, three goals. , It could be one personal, two business, all business, however you wanna do it again, however it's simplest for you. You pick those three goals and then each week, you pick another three goals that are related to those three, right?

So for example. If the three goals for the month is you wanted to do a direct marketing campaign, you were [00:04:00]going to write a chapter of a book and you're going to hire an assistant, right? Those are your three. Then this week we'd have three top goals that are related to one of those.

Maybe it's, I'm gonna do a little bit of writing for the book. I'm gonna interview somebody for that job and I'm going to start working on the social media campaign for that launch. So , and then the third one is the three by three is to really keep you focused on track.

Accountable is today when I wake up and I start my day, what are three goals that I have every day? Now they're not always related to the weekly, because sometimes just other big priorities have come up during the day, and we can't always do that, but at least one of them should be related to what those top , three weekly goals, which is related to your monthly goals.

And so what this does, it keeps you moving and progressing on your top priorities all the time, because how often do we go by month, or quarter's gone by? You're like I spent all that time at the beginning of the year writing these goals out. I'm just not moving forward on them. And those are the things that are typically the most valuable and the most meaningful for you.

[00:05:00] So that has really helped me. It's something to do with my clients. It really helps keep everybody accountable and on track.

Priscilla: Oh, I love that. I can see so many uses for this method. I think of the entrepreneur, mom. Who you've got your family things going on. You also wanna take care of yourself, your personal, and then you've gotta drive some business. So you've got, something to put there for your business, which I think is really great and brings sort of balance to things.

I also found for myself, especially, I'm thinking of the person who's maybe just starting a business and you are not sure where to focus and we've all been taught the to-do list. I dunno, maybe it was a thing. It was a thing that if you're gonna be productive, you're writing things down and you had a to-do list and you're ticking away as you go.

And then that felt really good and you were doing a lot of things. I know you talk about how the to-do list, it's some kind of a problem and I think I get what it is, but I need you to explain it. 'cause we've all been brought up most of us, on to-do lists.

Mridu Parikh: Yes. Okay. To be clear, I do love to-do lists. I love them. It's just that we're typically not [00:06:00]setting them up in a way that's gonna be successful for you. And instead, our to-do list can often be this super overwhelming list and like it just makes us shut down, get paralyzed, or focus on the wrong things, get very distracted.

So often our to-do list, that main to-do list becomes the catchall list. It's every future project I've ever thought of, every marketing idea I have. The albums I wanna make for my kids one day, I wanna clean out the closets. Like it's everything you've ever can think of is on that list. And we really wanted to take a step back and say, okay, can I create more of an action list versus just like a brain dump of everything I've ever thought about.

Let's get back to what that to-do list is supposed to be, which is an immediate action list. And you can have another list that's hey, here are some future projects. Here's something for next quarter or for using a three by three by three now it simplifies it so much because you can say, Hey, on this giant to-do list, what are three projects or things that I'm gonna accomplish this month?

And then let me just focus on the tasks that are [00:07:00] related to those three or this month and make that my to-do list. And then put the other things aside. And then next month I can grab some other ones off that list and let that keep growing if you want, that's fine. Keep adding your ideas on the other one.

But you wanna stay focused on that action list now, so you actually take action.

Priscilla: . I have to tell you, I'm one of those people who loves to get into the brain dump and

Mridu Parikh: Oh yeah.

Priscilla: I get a kick outta doing the things in the brain dump. So I've actually had to like schedule in my. Weekly schedule that little white space for picking random things from my brain dump of to-do list, to just kinda, make my week not so mundane and just give me that extra little feeling of , turning ideas into things even though they're not my main thing.

Like entertainment time, or just, I don't know what I'd call it, but I don't know. It feels good to do a little this and that as well as. After you've done what you're supposed to do, of course. Yeah.

Mridu Parikh: It does. Look, , we wanna feel accomplished. We wanna feel successful. We wanna check. [00:08:00]Things off the list. Psychologically we get a lot of satisfaction, motivation, and we build momentum the more we check things off the list. However, just like you said, you just wanna be sure that we're also doing the main thing.

The main thing is the main thing and not getting caught up. And let me just check off the list. Check off the list, check off this list, these other smaller tasks that really don't make me feel successful at the end of the day. The way that I think about being productive is a little bit different than I think a lot of the experts that .

It's about doing more or doing faster, or even higher value. For me, it's an emotion you feel when you get the results you want. So at the end of the day, if those things that you checked off make you feel really great, you're like, I feel amazing, even if I only checked off two things or 10 things.

But those were all the things that helped me move forward in my goals. Those were typically the ones that I've been procrastinating, but maybe those are the ones that were hard and I feel really successful. That's fantastic. If you've checked off 10 or 20 things off your list, at the end of the day you still feel like, [00:09:00] ah, man, I got nothing done today.

We all have those days. Then you're like, that emotion does not make me feel productive. So that's a great measurement of productivity is how do I feel at the end of the day.

Priscilla: , Like you mentioned, the psychology when you do a lot of random things. You get that like quick dopamine of doing random things, okay? But at the end of the day when you know you didn't do anything that actually made real progress,

as a business owner that will weigh on you and an early entrepreneur that will drive you absolutely crazy because then you think I'm doing the wrong things, I'm not making progress. And all the self doubt and things creep in, but you're not doing what you're supposed to do. I don't know for you what that journey was like trying to figure out what's a priority and how to make real progress.

Mridu Parikh: Yeah. You hit the nail. on the head too. As we're starting off, it's everything. Everything you're doing, the marketing, the branding, and the website and the sales and the development, it's everything. And it is overwhelming. And I didn't do it well to be honest, which is why I ended up going down this path of, I've really gotta learn [00:10:00] how to focus and be less distracted

a few things. So one is kinda just, we're talking about what is that focus like , be rigid with yourself. Say, I'm gonna pick the three things again for this month. Know that I can't do everything at the same time because I will fail. We're stretched too thin. There's too many things.

So start simple, simplify as much as possible and say, these are my three. And then as you are working on those, I would say, as you're doing them, think, is there a way that I can create a system around it or a routine around it, or a practice around it, right? So that I can try to do this as. Whether it's automated, whether it's just the way that I go into it every day.

So maybe it's every Monday I'm gonna work on, if you're doing marketing, I'm gonna work on my posts for the week. I'm gonna post three times every week and every Monday. That's what I'm gonna write them or record them or. Create the images, and that way you're on a routine. It's systemizing every week.

Or if you're like, I'm gonna do my budgets, my finance, can I actually [00:11:00] get those into a spreadsheet instead of working through my emails? Or can I? Get onto, like a FreshBooks or a QuickBooks, can I, implement something that's more automated. So as you're working on those three, always be asking yourself, is there way for me to simplify?

Is there a way for me to automate or create a system around it? 'cause what happens otherwise, we get so excited as entrepreneurs, we're doing all the things and then when we're six months, a year into it, and you're like, this is chaos. There's just no system to any of this, and then it's hard to play catch up, right?

It's hard to get back. It's not that you can't do it, it just takes time. So if you're building it along the way, and no, it's a living document or a living system you're never done. Years, I'm decades into this. I'm never done. It's always gonna be evolving, but it's so great to start from the beginning.

Priscilla: so many things that I've gone through as you're talking about this system and so many things I've learned about myself as well. Things like energy , also switching between tasks and how do I feel about it? 'cause sometimes you create a schedule or a [00:12:00] timetable and the way you've set it up, you set yourself up to fail because you do something that totally drains you. And then the next thing is something that's totally gonna drain you again. And as a result, either you procrastinate or you just don't get to it and feel like you can never do it, but it's because you set yourself up to fail.

Mridu Parikh: Yes.

Priscilla: And I'm thinking about, the people who say, , I've tried to create a system, or I've tried to focus on productivity, but I keep sliding back to overwhelm and I keep, spinning wheels. And I just wondered like what you'd say to that person to say, okay, how can you think about this?

I like you said that this is a living thing. Okay. It's not a set stone. So maybe that first way to think about it. .

Mridu Parikh: Yeah, so you mentioned how things can be energy drain and I've mentioned how I look at productivity from an emotional standpoint. And I think especially as a new entrepreneur, you can get very emotionally invested, emotionally drained, overwhelmed, overstretched, and we wanna tap into [00:13:00] that in order to set yourself up for success. So for example, if you are picking my top three things I'm gonna do today. I've picked them, I've written them down. How do you create and set up your environment for success before you even jump into number one?

So instead of just like making your list and time blocking it all and saying, I'm gonna do them back to back, and then feeling bad that you didn't get them done, ask yourself. Am I setting myself up for success? For example, the first thing you're gonna do is work on that kind of financial spreadsheet.

Do you have water next to you? Are you in a well-lit place? Is everything cleared off your desk? Is your phone on do not disturb? Do you have the software that you need? , Have you told your kids I need one hour of silence? Go play outside. What are you doing to set yourself up to be focused high energy?

Almost even excited about the things that don't excite you. Light a candle, put on light music, do things because it's hard, right? It's hard to focus all day. It's hard to focus on things. You're like learning all day long as an entrepreneur. So do these things. So I think we [00:14:00] overlook all of that.

We overlook internal energy, we overlook external environmental things around you. We overlook like the mental clarity that we need. Sometimes even just pumping yourself up a little bit like. Did I listen to a good affirmation or read something in scripture this morning? Or like, how do I ground myself to be positive and excited and grounded for the day?

So all of those all play into sort of your emotional state before you jump into your tasks.

Priscilla: When you are in a corporate environment, if you think of some of the. Places where people say if you work for, I dunno, Google or Facebook they've created that environment for you. The swimming pool is there and the little meetup place and the little coffee place and they're taking into account all those emotional things that a person needs to perform at their best.

And we're looking at this is what the best companies in the world do to make sure that their people. Can be the [00:15:00] most productive and do their best. Now as an entrepreneur, you've not gotta set yourself up

Mridu Parikh: Right?

Priscilla: for that, and sometimes you don't think about that, so I love that you spoke to that.

Mridu Parikh: Yeah. And I think another thing that we do is we just think we're gonna work eight hours straight. Again, I'm here all day now. I have my own time. I'm just gonna work through the day. We need breaks, we need rest. But we also need to, self-care, not self-soothe. So just because we have work for two hours doesn't mean I have the rest of the day off, unless that's how you planned it.

But at the same time, you might need a 30 minute break. So use things like timers, actually use the timer, let it put the ringer, on your phone. So I take this 30 minute or 50 minute break where I go walk around, I have my water, I have some protein. I listen to something positive, I throw in laundry, whatever it is.

But I come back and then sit, I've recalibrated re-energized, and I do another maybe one hour work block. I think that's also very important that we're , being realistic about the rest and the pause, but [00:16:00] understanding that's also helping your energy and keeping you revitalized and re-energized throughout the day.

Priscilla: Oh, for sure. 'cause who wants that kind of work? , If you work for somebody else and you worked that way, you would be like, I can't wait to get outta here. So don't create that kind of environment for yourself, to honor the hardness of the journey. The length of the journey that you are on.

You wanna keep yourself in the game and keep yourself energized and pumped to do what you need to do. Let's talk about how to scale. 'cause I think there are people who are thinking about, okay, protecting my priorities and changing the way I lead and delegate and grow my business.

Do you think that there are seasons of chaos that are okay? .

Mridu Parikh: Yeah, that's a great question. And yes, I do. I think that there are gonna be times that are just busier, more chaotic than others, and it's typically in the time of growth, right? , When you're scaling, when you're growing, and I love that you said seasons, because I love to think of that, especially when I'm planning my [00:17:00] year at the beginning of the year or if we're back to the three by three or thinking of that month.

If you're really doing that work upfront, you're like, this is gonna be a really busy month because this is a big goal that I have, or a big project. And I'll do that so I can create the cadence so that next month or next season. It's a little bit more in my control so I can put in that heavy time and heavy work and heavy lift right now.

So maybe I can have more time with my kids over the summer months, and then maybe, I know in the fall when they're back in school, I'm gonna really pump it up, work really hard, get more and into that I can again. Have that time over, the holidays to be with my family and be a little bit more present and active.

So yes, I think that absolutely, and that's where planning comes in. And it's to know that sort of ahead of time, it changes everything. You can change all of your circumstances, then you're like, Hey, first of all, I can communicate this to my loved ones, to my team at home, to my team at work. So everybody's expectations are set.

I can maybe get extra care for my family or my [00:18:00] team. Maybe we decide we're gonna spend a little more of our budget during that time for dinners like eating in, and the other times we're gonna scale back. So you can start making all these preparations if you're thinking about that ahead of time.

And then it also takes the pressure off because once you're like, oh, I'm in this season of a little bit more chaos, or this month of chaos, you let yourself do it without feeling really guilty about it. If there's no prep, there's no planning, then you fall into it and you're just like, oh my gosh, what am I doing?

Like this is horrible. And you feel just that mom guilt or boss guilt or all that kinda stuff?

Priscilla: Especially now that it's summer over there, you hear about it a lot , especially from moms who are entrepreneurs feeling I've gotta spend time with my kids. It's the summertime, but gosh, the business, but if you've done that. Planning and that knowing that you're adjusting things in preparation for what's coming ahead.

I love that aspect of your method that,, I don't know , how you termed it, that it's a living thing, 

Mridu Parikh: Yes, , it's never a one and done. , It's just always evolving and that's so [00:19:00] exciting about it. I think also if you can go in with that. Kind of attitude that this is so exciting. I get to change and evolve and grow all the time.

Through the failure, through the success, it becomes less like of a burden that things aren't staying the same. And by the way, if you want things to stay the same, we shouldn't be an entrepreneur for sure. 

Priscilla: The 3, 3 3 of the month , the next month builds on the previous one, which I thought that's really cool because I think sometimes we.

Don't get traction because we're not making sure that our actions are compounding.

I don't know if I'm clear with that, that if you are sort of like, do this, do this, and nothing is compounding, of course , you can't grasp that momentum and that traction because you're not building on top of something.

So if you have that productivity method that's helping you. Grasp momentum I think that's a really important thing.

Mridu Parikh: Yeah, and if you can even look at it from a quarterly level, now, I don't wanna get too far back. This can feel overwhelming, but for some people, again, it can simplify [00:20:00] it. You're like, let me look out for the next three months, and if I themed those three months, if I knew my three goals for those three months.

That's how you can, like you said, build one on top of the other, build that momentum and keep going and know you have a plan in place. Look to look forward to.

Priscilla: If you can tell me something that stands out to you in the use of your method .

Mridu Parikh: Yeah. Gosh, so many. I do a lot of one-on-one work with clients. And I think they come probably very similar. Maybe challenges in your audience. Again, just the same, I have so many things to do. I'm unfocused, I'm distracted, I'm stretched too thin, and this either is causing me to a procrastinate or to just not do what I'm supposed to be doing or spending my time and feeling like I got nothing done.

So I think the best result is. We can start in, , let's just say January because it's easy to say, and then look by March and then look at June and say, wow, I got so much accomplished. I got more accomplished in three months or six months than I have in a year and a half or two years before.

Simply because I was dialed into what I wanted to do. Like we have the [00:21:00] focus, we have the plan, we have the priorities, and and along the way you're building the system. So it all falls in. So a great, like in a very specific example was at a client recently who didn't really have a sales structure.

She was working her butt off and not making any sales. So we really broke this down and said, okay, let's first, let's kinda get your messaging for one month. Next month was marketing, and then the third month was networking, and the fourth month was really focusing on sales.

And by the end of that period, , she'd catapulted what she had done in the entire year prior, really in that three or four months because we had just slowed down, really focused, systemize these areas so that when she came out, she had like true actual results. And so it was just a beautiful way to see this all come together.

Priscilla: And that is really what it is. That's the key. Sometimes people think it's something mystical and it is just that like focusing on the right thing at the right time and 'cause sometimes they're just so overwhelmed and. There's no plan. You're just overwhelmed and you're just here, there, here, there, here, there at the [00:22:00] tactical level, , but you haven't created a plan to follow.

And sometimes you create a plan. Doesn't have to be perfect, but you should follow it. So that you can see the progress that you're making and you can learn from it. You don't learn from jumping all over the place, which is a temptation when you wanna make things happen, as most entrepreneurs tend to

that's awesome. Now I'm interested in sort of tools. 'cause I know people, I just talked about the tactical, people love the tactical they love the tools and they love the, what can I do right now? Kind of things.

Mridu Parikh: Again, I wanna keep your life as simple as possible. Let's not overdo this. That's get 10,000 apps. So one of my best friends is Google Calendar, like the whole G Suite, basically the whole Google Suite. So Google Calendar, my Gmail all of their tools like the, their sheets and Word and Google Drive, and just keeping everything very organized on that.

And if I had nothing else, if I just had that, I could essentially run. , Most of my business. So I would say start there. You're like, let's just simplify and keep everything in one place. And if you're an Outlook [00:23:00] person, then fine. Use the outlook and the outlook tasks and Outlook calendar, but just keep things together so that you're just not, you're all over should streamline it and simplify it.

Other tools, so one that I absolutely love is called sunsama, S-U-N-S-A-M-A. It is a. Calendaring tool. So it actually integrates with my project management tool, which I use Asana, and also with my Google Calendar. And what I like about it and why it's different to Google Calendar because it actually lets you block, pull your tasks over and block them on the calendar.

I don't know why there's something about it that's just super simple, very visual, really keeps me having a plan as we've been talking about, and helped me stay accountable every day. Those are my key tools, the Google Suite, Asana for project management, and sunsama for kind of just like my everyday planning.

Priscilla: Thank you for that, Mridu. Everyone's talking about AI right now and wondering how to integrate AI or if you're integrating AI [00:24:00] into being more productive.

Mridu Parikh: Yeah, I am obsessed with chat. GPT is probably, most of the world is right now. Obsessed. I think I use it 40 times a day., The way that I use it is , again, really simple. If I'm responding to emails, I typically will write something on my own, throw it into chat, GPT. It's, I make it better and it usually will simplify it, restructure it, just make it formatted better.

So that's fantastic. Use it for that. Just brainstorming. Especially as an entrepreneur, like what is the best system for my email management, what is the best system for my project management? Ask it questions. It is your brainstorming consultant right there at your fingertips.

Just asking questions going deeper. Okay, but this doesn't work for me and this is my habit. It's gonna give you some great ideas and some great things to just brainstorm and. Jump off of some great ideas. And then I use it more so for generating ideas for maybe social media or like my blog or my podcast.

Here I have an idea, but help me flush this out. Or what are some other things I'm not thinking about? So again, it does a great job there. So [00:25:00] I'd say everything from just management, systemizing, brainstorming, using chat GPT for a lot of things.

Priscilla: Absolutely. I think it's the biggest time saver if you're using it correctly. Especially like for me, I find if I have something that needs to be summarized, before, I'd have to think of the points myself and like figure out what was important in that and what that. It is mentally draining

Mridu Parikh: A hundred percent. Yeah. And if anyone's not using it, I use it. But also just the microphone, the voice tool there is amazing. You don't have to even type it anymore. Just say whatever's on your mind, a stream of consciousness and it's gonna produce something incredible. So I have it on my phone on my laptop, on all my devices.

So at any time I have a thought, I can just talk right into it.

Priscilla: Oh, that's one I haven't done. So definitely that, because sometimes I think of things and then I just got it noted somewhere and then I'm like, I'll check them that later. But going direct and just using. The voice thing. That definitely works. Mridu, I wanted to ask you, what are you excited about personally right now, and as you look out [00:26:00] into the marketplace, what are you looking forward to?

Mridu Parikh: Yeah, personally, it's personal professional mix. I actually do think the whole AI and just what's coming is super exciting. 'cause I think we use all these tools personally and professionally. One that's. Oh, gosh, what is it called? There's one that I just started using, now it's gonna, I'm forgetting the name.

Okay. It'll come to me while we're talking. But it's a great tool that's helping to record meetings. Like any type of meeting, or just conversations or Zoom meetings. So that's really great. And so I'm just excited about. How much easier in many ways, like these tools are gonna keep making our lives more simplifying, helping us brainstorm.

And what that does though, more than anything. It gives us room to do what we do better. Personally I'm a really creative person. , I have so many ideas, I have so much creativity that it'll allow me now to have space in my room for more of those fun things versus like getting caught in how do I set up this system and how do I do this?

So I'm really excited about that, both personally and professionally. And [00:27:00] then personally, I also recently became an empty nester. So it's a whole new world for me without kids at home. So I'm excited about travel, writing another book and traveling more also for work and getting on some bigger stages.

Priscilla: Oh wow. That's exciting. Congratulations for that. It's a big thing to raise a family,

Mridu Parikh: a big thing. Yeah,

Mridu Parikh: yeah.

Priscilla: Up to hearing things to do and it's great that when you organize your life that way and you can get more done in less time and use the tools and use the AI and create space for mastery, create space for fun, create space for creativity.

Priscilla: Okay we've gotta get on that audience. Please do get on that. Tell us where can people learn more about you? And you mentioned you've got a podcast. If you can tell us the details for that.

Mridu Parikh: Yeah, I'm a little bit of a hiatus right now, but I have over 200 episodes and anyone can go back to listen to, and it is targeted for the women business owners. So it is called Productivity on Purpose. You can find it. At all the places where you find podcasts, but you can find me at anywhere on Life is organized.
