005 Time management for introverts: a different approach
Better time management is the holy grail of productivity.
Or so I thought…
All through college and my early career as a scientist, I tried my hardest to get more done by cramming things into every nook and cranny of my day.
I thought that if I could just manage my time better, I could achieve my goals faster and be more effective.
So, I read articles on my commute to work, checked email on my break, and reviewed drafts and proofs on the way back home. Proper breaks were left to vacation time (where I just couldn’t sit still because I was so used to being busy all the time)
Here’s the thing though:
Busy does not equal productive.
In this episode, we’ll talk about why focusing only on time management is flawed if you really want to be productive long-term.
What you’ll learn in this episode
✅ Why busy and productive are not the same thing
✅ Why energy management is the missing link between time management and productivity for introverts
✅ How you can start to focus on energy instead of time
✅ Why quiet time and taking small breaks throughout the day is crucial for introverts if they want to work at their best
✅ How to join the final round of my energy management course before it gets a major reboot next year
I’m curious: if you could wave a magic wand, what’s the one thing you’d change about how you’re managing your time right now?
Leave me a comment with “If I could wave a magic wand, then I’d…”
Remember that big changes rarely come overnight though, most of them have grown out of small practices that we do every day.
