[Bonus] The question that changes how you plan your day...


Reader

Here's a question I ask my clients when they're overwhelmed:

If today could only hold three things, what would they be?

Not everything on the list. Not the aspirational version of your day. Just three things that, if done, would actually matter.

That one question is the starting point for what I call the Minimum Effective Day — a way of planning that's designed for real life, limited energy, and the days when you just don't have your best to give.

It's also what I'll be sharing at the Rockstar Mom Summit, a free virtual event with 25+ speakers covering the topics high-achieving women actually need: burnout recovery, energy management, confidence, and more.

My session goes into the full framework: five prompts that help you design a day that's sustainable, compassionate, and actually doable. No hustle required.

Sessions are pre-recorded and podcast-style, so you can listen whenever it works for you. Grab your free ticket here: https://positivelyproductive.com/Rockstar26​

The summit is open through 10/26 so be sure to hop in this week if you haven't already.

I’m Lisa Zawrotny, a Productivity Coach, host of the Positively Living® Podcast, and founder of Positively Productive Systems, on a mission to redefine productivity with compassion. I help overwhelmed clients ditch hustle culture and design shame-free, personalized systems that lead to sustainable success—without burnout or sacrificing what they love. I believe productivity is meant to support a more satisfying, joy-filled life. For me, that means road-tripping with my husband and teens, making music with my family and friends, and inspiring others with my voice. One of my favorite ways to recharge is curling up with a book, an iced coffee, and a cat on my lap. ------------------------------------------- Check out the resources I offer below and request my Toolkit to reduce overwhelm, boost energy, and align your actions with your values!

Reader Have you ever tried to meditate, only to have every to-do list you’ve ever made come flooding into your brain at once? If so, you’re in good company. Most of us picture meditation as sitting perfectly still with a completely clear mind. That image sets the bar so high that when our thoughts wander, we decide we did it wrong and move on. Here’s the good news: a wandering mind is normal. Noticing that your attention drifted and gently bringing it back is the practice itself. Meditation...

Reader Have you ever had a stretch where you felt focused, energized, and full of ideas, followed by weeks where even the basics felt heavy? Then you wonder why you can't just be consistent! If that sounds familiar, you’re in good company. Many of us, especially those with neurodivergent brains, experience energy, focus, and motivation in waves. Research even suggests most adults with ADHD have an internal clock that runs later than the general population, which helps explain why a...
