• Focus on the Fun Stuff 🎙️ - Have the Best Week EVER with PAUSE

Welcome!

I got myself an allotment last year 🥕 

When we bought our house I saw one just around the corner.

I had dreams of walking home with baskets of carrots and potatoes.

Pottering about in the sun and a floaty dress.

So I added myself to their waitlist and anticipated waiting years to get one.

Thats the norm so I hear.

Allotments are hard to come by.

Not on my street apparently. 😆 

I was offered one 3 months later.

And when the offer came I had FOMO of letting it go.

Even though I was launching a podcast, training for a marathon, renovating a house and everything else we put on our lists….

So I’m doing my best to learn about seedlings, carrot fly and when I can plant my broad beans outside.

Here she is - Plot 25 - pretty stunning I know…

Well today while I was finally planting out my broad beans 🫘 and I was listening to a podcast with Steven Pressfield.

He wrote the War of Art.

Brilliant book.

A fantastic recommend for anyone that deals with procrastination in doing what you long to do.

Anyhow he was talking about a rule he lives by.

Which I LOVE for anyone that says they dont have enough time to get the thing done.

So lets dig in x

How to Get Big Things Done in Just 1 Hour a Day ⏳

Ever feel like you’ve got big goals—writing a book, launching a podcast, starting that business—but no time to make it happen?

Yeah, me too.

I used to think I needed whole days set aside to work on big projects.

But actually Steven Pressfield says that you need just one hour a day.

He shared a simple but game-changing concept:

👉 One focused hour a day = 352 hours a year
👉 That’s 9 full 40-hour workweeks
👉 That’s how you actually finish things!

Mind. Blown. 🤯

Like actually 9 full 40-hour workweeks!

Most of us waste more than an hour a day just scrolling for gods sake!

Answering emails.

Or getting lost in busywork.

But if you protect just one hour a day for deep work on something meaningful, every day.… you actually make real progress.

💡 Want to write a book? 352 hours = A finished manuscript.
💡 Launching a podcast? That’s 9 workweeks to plan, record, and promote it.
💡 Starting a business? 352 hours = More than enough time to build something real.

The problem?

We let distractions win. 

We tell ourselves we’ll do it “later” or wait for a “better time.”

We think need to block out a whole week to make a dent.

No more.

📌 This week’s challenge:
✅ Pick ONE project you want to move forward
✅ Block out 1 hour a day—no distractions, no excuses
✅ Track your progress for a week

That’s 7 hours banked before you know it. And if you stick with it? 352 hours later, you’ll have built something amazing.

As Steven Pressfield says:

It’s time to get started. ⏳

What’s your one-hour project this week?

What are you going to finally make the time for even if it feels messy and difficult and you don’t know what your doing?

Reply and let me know! 🚀

Go win the week!

I am ALWAYS cheering you on

Ai Tool of the Week 🤖 

Welcome to Week 3 of AI Tool of the Week!

Have you ever finished recording a podcast, webinar, or even a long voice note and thought…

"Now I have to turn this into content?! Blogs, show notes, social posts… ugh."

Yeah, same.

At Mi PA, we used to spend hours listening back, pulling out key insights, writing summaries, and trying to turn long-form content into something useful.

But now, there’s an AI tool that does all of this for you in minutes—so you can spend more time creating and less time transcribing.

📢 Introducing… Castmagic! 🎙✨

What does it do?
➡️ Upload any audio file (podcast, interview, coaching call, webinar, etc.)
➡️ Castmagic transcribes it instantly
➡️ Then—here’s the magic—it summarizes it into:
✔️ Blog posts
✔️ Show notes
✔️ Social media captions
✔️ Key quotes
✔️ Email newsletters
✔️ Even LinkedIn articles!

🚀 In short: If you speak it, Castmagic will turn it into written content—instantly.

No more re-listening, no more note-taking, and definitely no more “I should write about that later” (because now, it’s already written!).

If you create ANY kind of audio content, this is going to save you so much time.

Check it out here ➡️ Castmagic

Happy testing! And I’ll be back next week with another AI game-changer! 🚀✨

On Focus on the Fun Stuff this week 🎙️ 

How often do you go into a new week feeling a little bit out of control, Emma?

Or with ideas of what you’d like to get done (and a sneaking suspicion that none of them will actually get done at all)?

If you ever feel unproductive during your working week…

You’re constantly getting dragged into last-minute problems, letting other people’s priorities dominate your to-do list…

Or you can’t clearly identify any real, tangible accomplishments in your business…

…Then my latest episode of Focus on the Fun Stuff is a must-listen.
