Productivity doesn't mean working more hours or grinding yourself into exhaustion.

In this week's episode, Nicole Kehl, CPA, challenges the deeply ingrained hustle culture of the accounting industry and offers a fresh framework for what productivity can actually look like.

She shares a personal story from the early days of building her firm as a stay-at-home mom, when staying up late to work left her nodding off at her desk and missing precious mornings with her kids. That wake-up call led her to discover a better way.

This episode kicks off a multi-part productivity series built around three key components: rhythm, planning systems (what Nicole calls "existence systems"), and integrity. If you're tired of the to-do list that never gets shorter, this series was made for you.
