Redefining Productivity Without All the Pressure w/ Lisa Zawrotny | Ep #107

Do you feel personally attacked by your to-do list? Do you have brilliant ideas but struggle to get them out of your brain? This episode is for you.

Like a lot of us, it’s been drilled into us that your ability to be productive makes you a valuable and worthy contributor to society. It’s such an American cultural obsession that we’ve created hacks to try to be even MORE productive!

Today I’m joined by the fabulous Lisa Zawrotny to explore what it’s like to be productive without all the pressure to achieve and prove ourselves. We’re challenging the black-and-white thinking that many people have regarding productivity (and “laziness”!), and the importance of acknowledging your own variable energy and focus levels every day.

Particularly for those with neurodivergent minds like ADHD, we’re sharing our experiences and strategies for optimizing your productivity and creativity within a flexible calendar structure plus how to add self-care to your calendar every day.

We’re pulling apart the damaging impacts of the hustle culture to help you break free from the constant-activity mindset and to reject busyness as a badge of honor.

We also dive into the "Four Ds" framework, a refreshing perspective on managing your tasks and productivity.

Tune in for…

• How to stop using pressure to be productive and stop calling yourself lazy.
• How to find the systems and approaches that work for YOU and your needs.
• Why resting your brain is one of the most productive things you can do.
• The negative effects of hustle culture and how to let of “busy” as a status symbol.
• How to get a lot done and take excellent care of yourself and your energy.
• How the use the "Four Ds Framework” as an effective and pressure-free way to approach productivity.

& so much more!
