The Wholistic Productivity Podcast #9 Getting into the Habit of Routines
Habits and routines are often talked about interchangeably—but they’re not the same thing. In this episode of the Wholistic Productivity Podcast, Chris LeBrun unpacks the differences, explores how they work together, and shows you how to use them to increase focus, consistency, and balance.
You’ll discover:
- The key differences between habits and routines (and why they matter).
- How habits can serve as anchors to build intentional routines.
- Practical ways to create new routines without overwhelm.
- Why tracking habits (and rewarding progress) keeps your momentum strong.
