  • Mentoring Episode with Milly Withers

    In this podcast episode I sit down with Milly to mentor her in her productivity. Milly is the creative calligrapher behind Blink Lettering as well as a full time graphic designer and enthusiastic adventurer (often to Wales!)

    Milly has a busy few months coming up as Christmas is a busy time for the product side of her business and her main time to bring in much needed money that’s going to contribute to her exciting house move! But having time to deal with the move is also going to be really important - so how is she going to balance giving herself time and space to deal with everything as well as making this period a success for her business?

    In this session we discuss some strategies she can implement that will give her more control over her workload and get her back into her routine.

  • How to Settle Back Into a Routine in September
    Welcome back to series 3 of the podcast! It's September - back to school time - the season to settle back into a daily routine after a summer of well not sun but a lot of things going on and a lot of routines going out of the window! But now a lot of us are craving the ease and simplicity that a good routine can offer us. Routines don't have to be strict and when used effectively they help us to free up brain space for our more exciting work.

  • A Conversation With My Mum About Productivity
    It's the last episode of the second series! Wow, can you believe it?! What better way to end the season than to have some fun with a different format and interview/have a conversation with the OG Mama Boyle? Me and my mum are always having conversations like this about my work and about productivity and making the most of life so I knew I wanted to get her on at some point and record one of those conversations!

    It was a lot of fun to record and we got ridiculously giggly at the start trying to sit down to actually record (we're both queens of faffing) but she has some wonderful insights on life that I feel she's passed on to me. I hope you enjoy listening.

    Do you need a productivity boost? I'm now taking on mentoring clients for my signature package the Productivity Boost - a one to one 45 minute call to help you get back in control of your time and productive energy so that you can make meaningful progress that feels good.

  • How to Take a Break From Being Productive
    It's the final solo episode of the season and the summer holidays are nearly here so what better time to talk about how to take a break from our productivity?! In this episode I talk about why we have such a strained relationship to resting and the guilt that we often experience despite knowing that rest is restorative, how we can be intentional about rest and take a longer period of time off and how to get back into our productivity after a break.

    Do you need a productivity boost? I'm now taking on mentoring clients for my signature package the Productivity Boost - a one to one 45 minute call to help you get back in control of your time and productive energy so that you can make meaningful progress that feels good.

  • Katie Phillips on Avoiding Burnout
    Today I have an interview with Burnout and Workplace Wellbeing expert Katie Phillips. Katie is doing amazing work coaching clients and workplaces to gain a better understanding of what causes us to burn out and how we can avoid it so I've got her on the podcast to talk about when a bad relationship with productivity can lead to burn out and how we can avoid it.

    She shares her own personal stories of 3 burnouts and the symptoms she experienced that showed her there was a problem with the way she was working. We also talk a bit about how some people are more susceptible to burning out and the responsibility of individuals as well as workplaces to stop burnout becoming commonplace.

  • Mentoring Episode with Natalie Busari of DNA Creative Designs
    This episode is a little different because rather than an interview I'm mentoring a wonderful business owner Natalie Busari of DNA Creative Designs on how she can improve her relationship with her productivity. Natalie is someone who has so many amazing ideas for projects but she can often be unrealistic about the time and energy it's going to take her especially with a business, a family and a chronic illness to contend with which leaves her feeling unproductive and disorganised. 

    We discuss some ways she can get back in control of her productivity including simple planning methods she can implement and processes she can introduce in her business to streamline the effort needed to take on clients.

  • 7 Tips to Avoid Procrastination and Get Productive Again
    Are you 'guilty' of procrastination? In this podcast episode I talk about how procrastination is often actually telling us something valuable about the way we're working. If we're procrastinating there's a reason behind it affecting our productivity and just blaming our lack of self control or motivation is often counter productive and leads to more and more 'productivity guilt'. So how do we avoid it and get productive again? In this episode I share my favourite 7 tips to help you avoid procrastination and get things done.

    I'm now taking on new mentoring clients for my brand new packages: The Productivity Boost (a one off 45 minute call with 30 days of support to get you back in control of your time so you can start making progress) and the Project Push (a 3 month series of call with long term support to help you push your project further in a realistic way that means you can still have a life!) More information about the 2 packages and book a free no obligation clarity call on this page here.
