To celebrate I’m revisiting one of my most popular topics on the show. What is that topic you ask? Procrastination. Why is it so easy to procrastinate? Because your brain is constantly telling you stories about all the things you need to do. That project I’m avoiding is too hard, it’ll take too much time, I don’t have the energy, I’ll start it tomorrow... These are stories your brain is telling you to keep you safe and comfortable. When you find yourself s...2022-03-2315 minThe Bold LifeThe Bold Life99: What’s more important for productivity? Consistency or FlexibilityI recently got asked by a listener whether consistency or flexibility is more important when you’re trying to be productive. For instance, if she’s having an important conversation with a family member but her schedule says it’s time to do something else, should she stop? Or can she be less rigid with her time? As I was reading through this question, I realized that while consistency definitely makes things easier on your brain, it’s not always most important. Yes, a schedule helps you be more productive, but sometimes life happens! Listen in to hear...2022-03-1613 minThe Bold LifeThe Bold Life98: Are you working as much as you think?A few years back I found myself working all the time. I’d work in the office then come home and work all night. I was burned out and stressed and when I finally started to correct my habits, I crashed. Little by little, I’ve pulled back and created space in my day. In fact, now it’s very unlikely that I work over 40hrs in a week. Imagine my surprise when this January I realized that even though I was working less, I still felt overworked. When I tracked my non-work time I realized...2022-03-0914 minThe Bold LifeThe Bold Life97: Behind the scenes secret to my productivityHave you ever heard someone mention that we all have the same 24hrs in a day? It’s true. But when we look at social media feeds or Hollywood versions of successful people, we get the impression that we should be able to “do it all” on our own. That magically everything on our to-do list should fit in those 24 hours. And if we feel stretched thin, then we’re not measuring up.Behind the scenes, most successful people have a lot of help. They have nannies or assistants or chefs or house cleaners or all of the abov...2022-03-0219 minThe Bold LifeThe Bold Life96: Chronic stress and the pandemic: 3 stress relieving strategiesThis past summer I locked myself in a stairwell, not once, but twice. Why? Because rather than focusing on what I was doing, my brain was focused on a million other things! I was thinking about my business, the pandemic, what to eat that night, everything but making sure I could get into my building. That’s what happens when we split our focus and try to manage too many things at once. Our brains aren’t designed to process chronic stress. Our stress response is meant to peak due to emergencies and then recede. Enter...2022-02-2321 minThe Bold LifeThe Bold Life95: Not Everything Is Urgent! And how this increases your stress responseBelieve it or not, every single task on your to-do list is not urgent. In fact, when you make every task a priority you increase your stress response and make your perfectionistic tendencies worse. Listen in to hear my tips on how to properly prioritize and organize your to-do list. A few months ago, I was in a bootcamp from Adrienne Dorison, the founder of Run Like Clockwork. She was telling a story of a colleague who said “Look. We’re not creating oxygen here. Not everything is urgent.” That stuck with me. It’s true. Not...2022-02-1616 minThe Bold LifeThe Bold Life94: Are You Too Focused On Your Mistakes?If you’ve been listening to this podcast for a while, you know that I’m pretty clumsy. If I’m not slipping and falling, then I’m dropping things. Until recently however, those clumsy moments made my perfectionism spiral out of control. Over the holidays, we went to the Calgary Zoo Lights Festival and after warning my husband and daughter to be careful, I slipped and fell flat on my back. I wasn’t hurt and we laughed the moment off because, honestly, it was pretty funny. But years ago, when I was still at universit...2022-02-0913 minThe Bold LifeThe Bold Life93: Why Your Brain Likes To ProcrastinateHave you ever caught yourself in a cycle of procrastination? You keep putting things off until you’re stressed and worried trying to figure out how to get everything done? Why does your brain do this? It’s because your brain likes to procrastinate. Rather than taking action towards any new or different goals, your brain likes to keep you safe and comfortable in the known. Plus, when you fall into the cycle of productive procrastination, your brain is able to check things off a list, no matter if that list is actually moving you forwar...2022-02-0212 minThe Bold LifeThe Bold Life92: Get Your Resolutions Back On TrackMost people make new year's resolutions or at least goals for 2022. We start the year motivated and committed, ready to make massive changes in our lives. Then by February it all goes down the drain and we’re back to the status quo. Why? Because our brains are designed to keep us safe. Safe for your brain means staying in your comfort zone. Change takes energy and our brains are designed to conserve energy where possible. Instead of creating massive goals that are vague and without a timeframe, set S.M.A.R.T. go...2022-01-2612 minThe Bold LifeThe Bold Life91: How To Get Comfortable Doing NothingWhen was the last time you sat and did nothing? I don’t mean scrolling on social media or mindlessly watching Netflix. When was the last time you sat and focused on nothing at all for any amount of time? If you’re listening to this podcast, I’m going to guess it’s been a while. These days we live in a world where our self-worth is directly tied to our work. Which means that we tend to keep going, going, going without ever stopping for a true brain break. But our brains are...2022-01-1910 minThe Bold LifeThe Bold Life90: Silence Your Inner Critic with Dr. Adia GoodenWe live in a world with a zero-sum mentality.
