I want you to use your imagination.

It is the end of the day, you’re getting ready to leave school and you are sitting at your desk. You look back on your day. You feel good about everything that you accomplished. You feel like it was a productive day because you actually got some meaningful work done.

Does that sound like something straight out of a fantasy novel? If that sounds impossible, it is probably because you have fallen into “The False Productivity Trap”.

On today’s Episode of the Private School Leader Podcast we are going to discuss:

There is an old saying, “It’s easy to be busy, it’s hard to be productive”. We have never been busier than we are today with our job, our family responsibilities, driving our kids to practices and games, church, errands, car repairs, home repairs, pet care, paying bills, trying to work out and the list goes on and on and on.

We have never been busier, but we have never been less productive. Let’s make a new start today, get out of the productivity trap and start engaging in meaningful work more often!

I hope that you will listen to the podcast for your weekly dose of motivation, inspiration and PD. Thanks so much for listening and thanks for making a difference!
