On today's episode we'll talk about our relationship to time management and how it relates to our productivity. And of course, we'll talk about data!
I talk about how time blocking/time management and our routines can often be idealized versions of the ways that we can live our lives. I also talk about some of the cultural beliefs that we have internalized about what we are supposed to be doing. And guess, what, data is a solution!
We haven't been given enough experience and skills to understand what actually does work for us in terms of managing our time. We throw out the baby with the bathwater – we deem lots of our time management as "bad" but actually they are contributing to our productive behavior and might even be productive in and of themselves!
I talk a little bit about a new offer I have, Your Efficient Sustainable Time Management plan, a miniature time study! This information will help us to find the types of things you need to do to be productive.
I'll leave you with these questions to think about:
Where did you learn what productivity and time management looks like?
How do you prioritize process over outcome?
How do you value the things you value by giving them time?
How do you celebrate the fact that you've done that?
How do you distinguish between your feelings and perceptions of how things are going and what is actually happening?
