Why your personality is *key* to being your most productive.

Published 4 days ago • 1 min read

Reader

Ever feel like traditional productivity advice just doesn't click with you? I hear that from clients constantly and the reason is simple:

One-size-fits-all solutions are a myth. What makes you you is what will help you find your most effective productivity path, and your unique personality is one of those aspects.

Knowing your personality and working with it is the real secret weapon to working smarter, not harder.

​
This is why I do assessments first with my clients. When I coach you, I start with your strengths, values, and personality traits in order to figure out how you work best. One of the assessments I use is called the Big Five (aka the Big OCEAN). It’s one of the most scientifically validated assessments out there and is based on a heavily researched model of five key traits.

When you take the assessment, you find out to what degree (percentage) you are:

  1. An imaginative "Open" thinker
  2. A detail-oriented "Conscientious" planner
  3. An energetic "Extrovert"
  4. A collaborative "Agreeable" team player
  5. A stress-sensitive "Neurotic" analyzer

Pssssst: Did you notice how the first letter of each trait spells “OCEAN”? That’s why it has that nickname, which makes it easy to remember the traits.

​
​In my latest podcast episode, I break down the Big Five traits. Listen to the episode or read the blog to find out more about each trait and to learn:

  • Why you struggle with some tasks
  • How to create systems that feel natural
  • Your hidden productivity strengths
  • Ways to work with your personality, not against it

​
​No more forcing yourself into productivity methods that drain you. It's time to work in a way that feels authentically you.

Here’s to working with your personality, not against it.

Reader Last week I asked you if you could magically fix one thing to be more productive, which of the following would it be: 1) figuring out what you need to do, 2) scheduling and fitting it all in, 3) developing the systems to track it all, or 4) getting yourself to take action. The results are in across multiple platforms and... ::Drumroll Please:: It was a TIE between #2 Scheduling it to fit it all in, and #4 Getting yourself to take action and do the stuff on the list! What does this...

Reader This month, I want to talk about something we often misunderstand: PRIDE. Yes, I mean that kind of pride. I am a rainbow-wearing, Free Mom Hug card-carrying safe space and any time we can elevate humans and prioritize love, it’s a good day. I also mean the simple concept of pride in terms of how we feel about ourselves. Because I have found it to be decidedly misunderstood, no matter the context. The pride I mean is not a boastful thing. It’s a powerful, self-accepting belief in your...

Reader Each week I reach out with tips and updates. Because it's my goal to be the antidote to your stress and to not add to the overwhelm, I generally limit my messages. But in order to serve you better, I have questions (and answers) I want to share. Today we're starting with a poll that will take seconds to complete. I'll send another bonus message to share results and answers (and ask new questions). Watch for the bonus personal poll in the P.S. I bet you can guess my answer. Positively...
