Like everyone with email, I found myself in an endless sea of Black Friday promo emails this weekend. Since I also work directly in this world, helping clients put together their own email marketing campaigns, I find it impossible to stop myself from analyzing what others are doing.
Join me as I talk through things I saw from companies big & small that left me disappointed this year. If you engage in any kind of email marketing, learn from this and don’t make these mistakes!

The long-awaited conclusion to our Productivity & Time Management series! After setting out to figure out where exactly my time goes every week (and understanding why I always felt like I was never getting enough done), I decided it was time to take action, STAT!
Join me as I discuss how I've used the insights I gained from the past few episodes as a catalyst for change (and why I took an unannounced podcasting hiatus).

In the last episode, we found out what ”productivity shame” is. Now, we figure out how the heck we actually deal with it...because, c’mon. Wouldn’t it be nice to binge watch Netflix on the couch once in a while and NOT be riddled with intrusive thoughts about all the ”more productive” stuff you should be doing?

Let’s define what our ”enough” is by setting attainable micro-goals. And, while we’re at it, let’s detach our sense of self worth from our work.

Have you subconsciously tied your sense of self worth together with how busy you are? In this episode, we dive DEEP into the topic of productivity and time management, talking about busyness as a status symbol, our compulsion to monetize our hobbies, and productivity shame.

This week, I challenge you to pay attention to how much “busy work” you engage in, and also pay attention to the quality of your work when you notice yourself multitasking.

When I started my online business in 2013, I was a full-time grad student and had opening shifts at a coffee shop 3 days a week. Time to spend on my business was in very short supply.

I’ve long since graduated and hung up the barista apron. But even being able to devote all day, every day to the biz feels like it’s not enough sometimes...there’s always MORE that needs to get done. And guess what? Time is STILL in short supply.

Join me as I attempt to say goodbye to ”grind/hustle culture” and reclaim my time. It all starts with figuring out where the heck it actually goes every week.
