Despite the fact that the majority of productivity experts love talking about time management, I don’t. I think it’s a myth…a red herring if you will. The standard issue advice for being productive leads you in the wrong direction. "Manage your time so you can do more?" Nope. That’s a recipe for burnout.

Ask yourself, what REALLY matters? What makes sense for YOU to do? Those answers will get you further, faster than cramming tasks in a time block.

In my latest podcast episode, I answer audience questions about how to actually get things done without burning out. These are questions asked by my audience and I welcome more if you have them. (Message me with questions you'd like answered on a new "Ask Lisa" podcast episode.) The questions I answer in this episode focus on time and task management and I address the following points:

➤ Why energy management is more important than time management (and why we are so focused on time management)

➤ How to create systems that actually work for YOUR brain (this advice will feel counter-intuitive, but trust me)

➤ The #1 mistake we make with productivity tools (which we do out of enthusiasm, but we need to stop)

​
​TL;DL

If you don’t have time to listen to the details, here are some quick wins you can implement today:

​
➤ Create a "to choose" list instead of an overwhelming to-do list by doing a Mind Sweep. Do you have the guided recording I offer my VIPS? If not, click here to access it.

➤ Identify your peak energy times - energy management means knowing not only what to work on, but when to work on it. If you have a demanding task, pick a high energy time.

➤ When you start a new system, make it as simple and basic as possible. Skip the bells + whistles until you are are past the learning curve

​
​When you approach being productive by understanding yourself and working with your natural rhythms, not against them, you not only ditch the overwhelm, you achieve your goals while actually enjoying life!

​
That's my endgame with clients and if that sounds good to you, you're in the right place! I'll keep supporting you in your efforts to do less, live more, and breathe easier. And, I welcome you to schedule a free coaching consultation if you want to speed things along. Let's chat and figure out what that personalized, positive, and productive approach would look like for you.
