How to Create a Productivity Power Hour That Actually Gets Results (The Entrepreneur's Focus Method)

In this episode of The Overwhelmed Entrepreneur, business coach Cindy Gordon breaks down how to create a productivity power hour that actually gets results - not another productivity hack, but one protected focus hour where you work on what truly matters.

Most entrepreneurs work 10-hour days but never find time for strategic work. Your calendar is full of meetings, your inbox is overflowing, and by the end of the day, you haven't worked ON your business - only IN it. The daily power hour changes that.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• What a productivity power hour is and why every entrepreneur needs one (even if you're already "busy")
• How to identify your most productive hour based on YOUR energy (not generic morning advice)
• The three types of work that belong in your power hour (and what to eliminate)
• How to protect your power hour from meetings, emails, and "urgent" distractions
• What to do when you can't find a full hour (start with 30 minutes that actually work)
• Real example: How one protected hour created more business growth than nine reactive hours
• The mindset shift that makes your power hour non-negotiable

Perfect for: Overwhelmed entrepreneurs and small business owners who work long days but never have time for strategic work, especially those who end every day exhausted but feeling like they didn't accomplish anything that moves the needle.

Episode Highlights: "You don't need more hours in the day. You need one protected power hour."

"When everything on your calendar feels urgent, your power hour protects what's actually important."

"Your power hour isn't about cramming more work into your day. It's about protecting time for the work that actually grows your business."

"The hour you spend building your business is worth more than the hour you spend being reactive."

Take Action: Ready to create your daily productivity power hour? Look at your calendar right now and block one hour tomorrow for strategic work.
