A lot of the starter recommendations I like to make once you kind of like know that when you're kind of best hours for certain types of tasks are is focused on sometimes the hardest things you do in a week. And I would start looking at how aligned when you're doing them is to like the type of energy you have. One of the really common productivity tips you hear is to batch calls. But again, when you're thinking about like pacing yourself and your energy, that requires a big block of social energy to use all at once. If you don't have big chunks of social energy all at once, that can be really draining.
This week I’m excited to welcome Brittany Berger to the show to discuss productivity, fighting hustle culture, and helping creatives balance, work and rest. Brittany is the founder of Work Brighter where she talks and teaches about inclusive productivity and helping disabled, chronically ill, mentally ill and neurodivergent creatives find work balance. I’ve admired Brittany’s writing for some time now and enjoy reading about what she's doing with Work Brighter in her weekly newsletter.
In this episode we explore how productivity is all about finding the “best method for you” that both empowers you to get things done without experiencing exhaustion, feelings of laziness, or even guilt. Brittany breaks down some of her favorite techniques for working productively without experiencing fatigue or mental stress. In addition we discuss the value in journaling or tracking your time and your energy levels so you can find those ebbs and flows not just in your personal physiology, psychology and emotions, but also as a way to match your tasks so you're not overloaded and not expecting more of yourself than you should.
