There’s an endless amount of advice out there that claims becoming more productive means fully buying into hustle culture. But this week, clinical psychologist turned writer Alice Boyes joins the podcast to tear down many of the acknowledged notions we have about productivity, efficiency, and mental health. Alice is the author of Stress-Free Productivity: A Personalized Toolkit to Become Your Most Efficient and Creative Self, which helps readers identify their productivity profile and gives them the framework to create their most effective and efficient self. On the pod, Alice talks about the value of productivity highs and what habits to cultivate for a more stress-free sense of productivity. Conversely, Alice talks about what mindsets weigh us down and can reduce productivity, including the long-held ideals of peak efficiency.
