Episode 39.5 - How to Stay Productive When Life Gets in the Way
Description
In this mini episode Kathy talks about what happens when you can’t be productive. Because sometimes, life lobs a spanner (or an entire toolbox) into your well-oiled workflow.
Whether its illness, caregiving, emotional overload - the sort of stuff that doesn’t fit neatly into a planner. Kathy shares her own tale of working through a slipped disc (spoiler: pomodoros + painkillers = unlikely productivity strategy), and reflecting on what real progress looks like when you’re not firing on all cylinders.
You’ll also hear:
– Why resting is productive (Stephen Covey would agree)
– What David Allen says about feeling good about what you’re not doing
– Tiny tools to keep you going when everything feels too much (hello, minimum viable productivity and the “I’m a human” list)
If today all you’ve managed is listening to this? Write it down. That’s a win.
