  • In the zone: 5 ways to trigger flow state productivity

    Today, we're getting into the nitty-gritty of flow state productivity. Ya know, the  kind that feels almost lazy but gets you incredible results. If this sounds like something you can get behind, you're gonna want to listen to this ep, pals.

    In today’s episode, I'm peeling back the (tear-stained onion) layers on why traditional productivity hacks might not be cutting it for you. If they're not - enter flow state. It's that magical zone where work doesn't feel like work, and time seems to fly.

    I talk about:

    1. Rethinking productivity: why true productivity is not about the time you have and what you can do if you're working with limited hours.
    2. Personalised flow triggers: I look at 5 practical ways to switch on YOUR unique flow state.
    3. Practical takeaways: Tips on how to experiment and find what really works for you, so you can master your productivity without falling into the bro productivity vortex

    1. How to learn what makes you shine and what makes you slump when it comes to your own personal productivity style
    2. The three KEY metrics you can monitor to help you create a uniquely personalised productivity system of your own

  • TRUTH: Your clients don't care how much time you spend on something

    ...And WHY this belief is limiting you when it comes to your time.

    If you're a service provider or online business owner, it's very likely you plan out your time when it comes to serving your clients.

    If you're meticulously planning out all your available hours on paper, yet wondering why you're still getting to the end of every week feeling COMPLETELY swamped... this episode is for you.

    Highlights: 

    - Why everything you've ever been taught about work is keeping you stuck in the land of no time
    - Why you actually DON'T work better under pressure, no matter what your brain tells you

  • 'How did I get here?' The one question that had me sobbing.

    Ever asked yourself 'how did I get here?'

    Me too, pals. Me too. 

    Business owner life. Working all the hours. Side eyeing your phone. Stress typing as you charge through Coles looking for the eggs (where are they)?

    It can feel like a far cry from that life of free time, flexibility and frolicking on the beach with the kids 2pm on a Tuesday you'd envisioned for yourself when you started.

    If you've ever asked yourself 'how did I get here' after yet another stint working evenings, weekends more hours than you'd ever thought you would as a business owner, this episode is for you, my friend. I've got you.

  • How to work less and stop tying your value to your time (part 1)

    Because of the way we've been conditioned to think about work, we're primed to equate time worked, with dollars earned. 

    And as long as we continue binding our time with our value, that's never going to change.

    But WHAT IF we really started to completely separate our value from our time, and get really strategic with how we can create that value, using the least amount of time possible?

    Today's episode is a corker (complete with Moana in the background) for any service provider or online business owner who wants to work less hours, while achieving their one-day goals and without compromising on their income or quality.

    In this episode:
    - How to move forward on your big picture goals by ditching the time-suck that no one's talking about
    - The problem with time-blocking, and what to do instead
    - How to prime your work-less work-day
    - Why cramming more in isn't the answer

    Part 2 drops next week where I share the step by step process I use every day to work less - and how you can implement this into your business and your life.
