If you're a solo business owner and you have a big exciting vision and loads of ideas that you want to get out in the world but without drowning in a sea of overwhelm, then this is the podcast for you. Each week I'll be sharing bite-sized insights to help you stop faffing and stay focused so you can make your brilliant ideas happen and make a bigger impact in the world It's time to step away from the hustle and find a kinder more sustainable approach to productivity So grab yourself a cuppa and let's get started

01:31 If you came to me in a tangle with the productivity dilemma, one of the first things I'd do would be to invite you to tell me what works for you. Because not only does that give me clues as to how I might best guide you it also gets you out of the negative spiral that happens when you fixate only on what isn't working because it's very hard to problem-solve when you're stuck in a loop of everything is rubbish...I'm rubbish! It's all gone wrong and I might as well give up now And when we stop to think about what actually works, that's when we start to spot patterns that are a little bit more helpful than that. We discover the nuggets that will help us tackle things that aren't working and the trouble is, when things are going well, we often don't stop to notice

02:14 It's a bit like service in a restaurant, right? You only tend to notice that when it is bad. When you're surrounded by empty glasses that aren't being collected or the wrong order arrives at your table and its much the same with your productivity you are so much more likely to notice when you've had a bad day than when you've had a good one So here's my invitation for this week Next time you do have a productive day that feels amazing get curious What did you do that day that helped you focus What habits and behaviours supported you? And how might you use that new intel to help you have more days like that. So notice what is working rather than fixating on what isn't, and see what happens! I hope this helps and look forward to seeing you again next time
