Productivity starts with the mind. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Productivity starts with the mind. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Why? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We do the things we do because of how we feel. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And how we feel comes from how we think. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For instance, if you're thinking, "I have so much to do. I'm never going to get this all done."

How to Deal with Comparison. Let’s talk comparis How to Deal with Comparison. Let’s talk comparison. You’re going along, doing fine, then BAM! Up pops a photo of someone’s beautiful home or fit body or awesome vacation or fill-in-the-blank and suddenly you’re wondering how everyone else seems to be able to: ✅ Keep their perfectly decorated house sparkling clean ✅ Raise happy & thriving kids ✅ Go to the gym and cook healthy meals every day ✅ Hangout with friends ✅ Go on weekly dates ✅ Have a job ✅ Read, watch Netflix, and scroll Instagram And on and on and on… While you’re just happy you got the kids to bed at a decent hour and remembered to switch the clothes from the washer to the dryer 😅. First of all, YOU’RE DOING A FREAKING GOOD JOB! But if you want some tips on what to do when comparison creeps in, watch this video, then save it for those moments you need a little boost.
A couple weeks ago, I shared my formula for the pe A couple weeks ago, I shared my formula for the perfect weekend: people, productivity, and play. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I've been thinking about this formula a lot lately and realized that those 3 things really are a great "balance" (whatever that actually means...🤪). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm doing an experiment to intentionally include each of these on weekdays too, just to see what happens ✨. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✅ People: helping someone, spending quality time with someone, fostering connection, serving, etc. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✅ Productivity: checking something meaningful off my to-do list ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✅ Play: doing something just for fun. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Want to join in on the experiment? Comment 🙋🏼‍♀️ or 🙌🏼 below if you're in!
How do you decide when to tackle which tasks?. Her How do you decide when to tackle which tasks?. Here are 5 things to consider: 1) Your energy levels. Do the tasks that take the most mental clarity or physical energy whenyou tend to be at your best. 2) Your kids' moods. Try to do the things that are hardest to get done with kids around when your kids are otherwise occupied--school, naps, quiet time, play dates, or the times of day they're the happiest. Likewise, don't expect to get anything done during witching hour. Better yet, declare those hard hours family fun time and plan a fun way to connect during that time. 3) What else is going on that day. Days that are filled with lots of errands, appointments, or adventuring in the morning might be good days to plan simple tasks or rest in the afternoon. Tasks that need to be finished in one sitting should be started when there aren't any appointments or other time senstive tasks coming up on the agenda. 4) Health, sleep, and other factors. Sick kids? That time of month? Haven't been sleeping well? These are great times to lower expectations, cross as much off the task list as possible, and allow plenty of room for rest and downtime. 5) Get the hard out of the way. The later in the day or week it gets, the harder it is for me to push myself to do those things I'm dreading. So I try to tackle my hardest tasks as early in the day and as early in the week as possible. The later in the day and week it gets, the more space I leave for fun, relaxation, and a slower pace. How do you choose which task to do when?

When we love what we're doing, we're more willing When we love what we're doing, we're more willing to do it. BUT... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There are plenty of things we have to do that we don't love (or even like) to do 😅. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✖️Changing diapers ✖️Cleaning toilets ✖️Paying bills ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Just to name a few 🤪. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But if we know WHY we're doing them & love our reasons, plus sprinkle in enough things we DO love, our productivity will skyrocket 🚀. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Over the past few months I've planned a lot more free time for myself, and I've somehow gotten more done too. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It's like magic ✨. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'd love to teach you more.
