❌ Newsflash: Productivity is keeping you stuck on the "working all hours" hamster wheel. The definition of productivity is, quite literally, the amount of output you produce. The more you can fit into a day, the more "productive" you are. And as someone juggling a lot, achieving peak productivity used to feel like the holy grail for me. "If only I could learn how to get more things done!" I used to think, "I can finally reach my endgame and FINALLY start working less!" Sounds good in theory, buuuut... Here's what happened. I DID learn how to get more things done.In fact, I managed to achieve more in a week than just about anyone else I knew. And the BY PRODUCT of that? Is that I was then able to fit even MORE in... and so the hamster wheel continued, faster and faster and faster. Get more things done > Able to take on more things > Repeat. I never ended up working LESS, I was just getting way more DONE in the hours I worked. The more productive I was, the more I could do. The more I could do, the more I could take on. And because I had set "work times", what that meant is that I was never doing LESS... I was simply squeezing more and more in.One day, I had a penny drop moment...Maybe, I thought, it's not actually about getting more TASKS done in a day. Maybe instead, it's installing more operational elegance into my business and how I do things SO THAT the business can be more effective, and ultimately need me less. It was a defining moment, and in today's podcast episode, I am going to share with you five things that I started doing that finally got me OFF the productivity hamster wheel and towards the work/life balance I was doing it all for in the first place. In this episode, we discussed:✔️ PLAN;✔️ Do Less;✔️ Plan Tomorrow Today (Aaaand... If You Have a Team, Implement a Daily Huddle);✔️ Time Block;✔️ Measure Key Metrics;✔️ And MORE!Full show notes for this episode can be found at: www.thecoursecartel.com/189----------
