In the first episode of this month’s series on time, Laura Vanderkam taught us how to make every minute of each day count. Last week Cal Newport redefined productivity over the course of weeks. But how do you string those days and weeks together into a fulfilling career? Our guest today is helping us to examine the cadence of our years and decades. Natalie Nixon is a creativity strategist, entrepreneur, and thought leader. She’s the author of The Creativity Leap and is working on a second book introducing her “Move, Think, Rest” framework for unlocking your fullest potential. She sits down with Jessi to discuss how movement and rest fuel deep thought, how we can cultivate work differently, and how to fall in love with the process rather than obsess over the outcome.
