Why I’m Aiming for Effectiveness Over Efficiency This Season
School’s out for summer…which means it’s finally time to pick up those projects you’ve been dreaming of starting (or avoiding entirely, whoops). Before you develop a 9-to-5 bootcamp or timeblock your days into oblivion, take a deep breath and consider what an effective approach to productivity could look like for you this season.
On today’s solo episode of Honing In, Dr. Kate Henry walks listeners through her process for setting summer goals by referencing her free workshop “How to Effectively Reach Your Goals this Season.”
Kate shares that when we aim for effectiveness over efficiency, we make a plan that acknowledges our individual needs around time, energy, and focus. In doing so, we strategically chip away at our tasks with intention, versus racing to finish, which may cause overwhelm and burnout.
Join Kate for her reflections and a-ha moments, then try out the workshop prompts yourself to plan truly effective goals in this season of your life!
Kate hones in on:
- The benefits of using the framework of a “season” for project planning
- How Kate defined effectiveness this season and set criteria that supports her relaxation
- The predicament of balancing personal, creative, and professional goals
- An invitation to bring more compassion to our productivity approach
- How Kate would update the workshop in 2026
