Why are we always surprised when progress isn't linear? I'm experiencing that this week -- and it's objectively ridiculous. Anything that has a timespan isn't going to go smoothly all the time, and when we expect it, we are a lot less frustrated. Join me in this challenge!

Enjoy 🤍🩵💙🎙️

Before you get upset at the title of this week's episode - hear me out! You know I believe in plans and structure and processes and boundaries -- we need all of those to be productive in the way we want to be. However, sometimes we need to toss all of that aside if it means that we don't miss an amazing opportunity. All or nothing thinking is THE WORST, and we need to stop it.

Enjoy 🤍🩵💙🎙️

Let's not let tired get in the way of us doing things that we have intentionally decided we want to do and/or will help us accomplish our goals. Yes, well-rested and energized is the preferred vibe, but we can't have that all the time, and we want to keep the promises we make to ourselves.

In our quest for productivity hacks and all the things we do to make our lives easy, we may be missing the point that not everything is supposed to be that way. Yes, let's streamline and make efficient processes for a lot of things, but let's also remember that challenge leads to growth and accomplishment leads to confidence.

We all know change is hard, but have you thought about why? In this episode I talk about the relationship between change and identity, and how acceptance and experimentation with a light tough can lead to adapting in a way that serves you.

Accept. Experiment. Adapt.

Breaking news! Handled(ish): Productivity for the Imperfect has reached 5,000 audio downloads! Thanks for making that possible!

And this week I talk about the case for taking an actual lunch break. An idea you have heard before, I'm sure, but one that many of us don't do on a regular basis. Let's rethink that this week and recommit to not eating by our screens.

In those spaces in between things, our first instinct is often to grab our phones. While there isn't anything overtly "wrong" about that habit, I think we can make our lives happier and more productive if we have a transition time strategy -- one that we use BEFORE we pick up our phones. See if you agree!

In this last part of the unofficial resilience series, I talk about how making it to the other side helps us build resilience as well. While this might sound obvious, it's worth noting, and pondering, about how we can do hard things.
