Have you ever tried a productivity tip that “works for everyone”…and felt absolutely deflated when it did not work for you?

When you feel overwhelmed, it is tempting to look for a new solution: a new system, a new planner, a new routine, a new push of willpower. But if the way you are trying to be productive is not aligned with who you are, no amount of forcing it will feel sustainable.

If you want to make productivity feel easier and more sustainable, you'll want to:

1. Notice what consistently drains you and what consistently energizes you.
2. Pay attention to how you respond to expectations and accountability.
3. Lead with strengths, not self-criticism.
4. Turn insight into one small adjustment.

Where do you start? The Assessments Workbook inside the free Positively Productive Toolkit walks you through a starter set of assessments I recommend and use with my clients. And I walk you through the top four assessments in this week's podcast episode if you'd like to learn more.

You know, I've always loved taking assessments. And while the ones that tell you what kind of potato chip you might be might only be for fun (Buzzfeed saw me coming) there is a lot we can do with the information we gather about ourselves. Stay curious and remember that what you learn is the first step toward sustainable, shame-free productivity.
