The productivity myth that might be draining you

What if your idea of productivity is the very thing wearing you out? Let’s talk about a healthier way to get things done.

Hello lovelies, and happy Bank Holiday Monday (if you're here in the UK).
Wherever you are in the world, I hope your day includes at least a few cup-filling moments, whatever that means for you right now.

In this week's Pep-Talk, I’m inviting you to dive into the juicy topic of productivity, unpacking what your relationship with productivity is and whether your understanding of what it takes to be productive is helping you to thrive or holding you back.

But before we get onto that, I have an exciting announcement!…

🎙️Pep-Talk: The productivity myths that might be draining you

We live in a world obsessed with output and speed. We attach our worth to how much we get done. We push ourselves through exhaustion just to get things ticked off our list. And then wonder why so many of us are burning out.

But productivity itself, is not the enemy. In fact, humans thrive when they are being productive, but only when it’s being done in a healthy way. And this is where the problem lies: we have not been taught what healthy productivity looks like. We’ve been taught to follow the productive habits of machines - and that is what’s been doing all the damage.

So in this episode, we take a look at:

  • Why so much we’ve been taught about productivity is wrong

  • Why productivity is, in fact, an essential ingredient that helps us to thrive - but only when approached in a healthy way

  • What healthy productivity actually looks like

So, grab yourself a cuppa, hit play, and let’s explore what your relationship with productivity is like and whether it is helping you to thrive or causing you to stay stuck in exhaustion
