We’re about to make a slight shift here at LearnDoBecome.com, and we’re really excited about it.
We’ve been talking about productivity and “getting things done” a lot lately. And we love that. And it’s not going to stop because we have this dream of a Command Central on every desk.
However, this community is not “just” about productivity. It’s about architecting lives of excellence. (And we know “architect” isn’t officially a verb, but we use it that way because we like how it feels, and this process is all about thinking out of the box…)
Architecting a life of excellence means we deliberately create plans for who we want to become and what kind of lives we want to create. We invest serious energy strengthening our families, we structure our day-to-day activities so they lead us toward our goals, and we reach out to help others who are journeying alongside us.
So over the next few months, you’re going to be seeing more variety in the types of posts and podcasts we publish. We hope you’ll leave comments and give us lots of feedback so we’ll know the best way to grow together as a community. It is a gift to have you with us!
Today’s podcast features audio versions of four posts we published previously on the website. We know it’s nearly impossible to sit and read all the articles on the site, so we’re reading them TO you in bite-sized podcasts you can listen to while you’re on the go–or taking a rest–or cleaning up your house.
The links to the four posts are below, if you want to review any of them, and we’d love for you to share LearnDoBecome.com with your friends.
Thanks for the work YOU do as a Life Architect. Together, we’re going to do some amazing things.
Much love,
April and Eric
Audio Post #1: Appreciate the Gaps
Sometime what we want for our lives is very different from our realities. Take this dream nursery I envisioned–and compare it to the stroller where our first child slept when all we had was a tiny student apartment. More examples and things to make you smile in the post!
Audio Post #2: A Daily Routines Checklist to Keep You Super Happy
Ever notice that it’s really easy to forget to take care of yourself? This is my checklist I use on a daily basis to remind me what I need to stay sane. You may want to adapt it–or make one for your spouse or children. 🙂 I’ll explain what all the symbols mean in the recording.
Audio Post #3: Why I Had a Little Tantrum and What Helped Me Get Over It
I try to avoid tantrums as often as possible (and it’s totally gotten better), but in this post, I’ll take you inside my head and explain why I was randomly stomping around the house in a huff–plus I’ll share the ideas that have dramatically reduced my general level of frustration with myself and my family. This beautiful quote, painted by my daughter, is part of it!
Audio Post #4: Use Liberating Truths to Reach Your Dreams
Back in January, Eric and I attended Michael Hyatt’s Best Year Ever conference, and I had some major a-ha moments as I recorded my goals and then identified the limiting beliefs that had been holding me back. It’s a little embarrassing, but I’ll share them all with you here in this post–and I’ll show you the “liberating truths” I created to replace those limiting beliefs. Six months down the road, and this process is WORKING! Come see how!

Wow! Thank you for sharing limiting beliefs. I can relate for sure!!! Glad to see I am not crazy. LOL
You’ve hit the nail on the head, Belle! Most of us think we’re the “only ones,” but usually our challenges are incredibly common. When we come together, there is power. So glad you are here with us at LearnDoBecome!!
Thank you for sharing your even though some people might think it’s lame! It was awesome for me to listen to this while I prepped dinner tonight.
That was great, Thank you for sharing.
My biggest limiter is the thought that I am not smart enough to pursue my doctorate. I keep feeling like I must be in a dream, how can I be almost 1/2 done a doctorate with a 3.90 GPA? I keep expecting myself to fail.
Elissa, you are a rock star! Nearly halfway done with a doctorate AND you have a 3.9 GPA?! This is amazing!!!
We invite you to follow this link to see how April challenged her limiting thoughts: https://learndobecome.com/use-liberating-truths-to-reach-your-dreams/. Maybe you’ve already seen it. All the best in your continued journey to completing that doctorate! Thanks for being with us here at LearnDoBecome!
This was exactly what I needed to hear! I had a rough day yesterday in which I was feeling the huge gap between where I am and where I want to be so in my mind I was throwing a tantrum and I realize now the biggest problem was that I haven’t been doing the critical stabilizing routines like prayer and scripture study that help me feel good about myself and my relationship with God. I’m wishing that I had listened to this a few days ago when it first came out and maybe I would have avoided the bad day yesterday, but then again maybe I wouldn’t have appreciated it as much if I had listened to it sooner… I guess the thing to focus on is that I did listen to it and it’s going to help me make today better than yesterday! THANK YOU!!
Julie, thank you for your kind words! We are so appreciative of community members like you who take time out of your day to comment. 🙂 We’re sorry to hear you had a rough day and are glad that this post has been helpful to you! Thank you again! Have an amazing day today and please let us know what we can do for you moving forward!
Just wanted to add my personal thanks and send a huge virtual hug your way. 🙂 We’re all in a state of growth, and it’s comforting and exciting to know we’re going through it together as a community. Much love!!
