Decision Savers: Maximising Your Energy and Productivity as an Introvert
This week on The Ambitious Introvert® Podcast I’m wrapping up this decision fatigue mini series with some of my favourite ‘life hacks’ - the ones that get things running on auto as much as possible, freeing up my bandwidth for the juicy, important decisions in life!
I’ve shared many of these with my clients over the years, and though some of them sound sneakily simple, I promise you the compound results of implementing them will blow you away. As introverts, adding these energy savers into our routine and life admin can make a HUGE difference on what we have left in the tank at the end of the day.
I’m sharing:
Why, once again, planning ahead is worth the initial effort to save you energy through the weekHow you can use automations to limit your decision making in life, not just businessThe super effective way I make sure I don’t skip workouts and mindset practices with the excuse of ‘not knowing what I want to do’How buying pyjamas and going to the dentist are both activities that have opportunities to be optimised!
If you ever fall behind with life admin, or feel overwhelmed and overstimulated by it, this episode is for you!

When my guest Joanna Rawbone found out she was an introvert it was such a revelation that it played a pivotal role in her personal growth and business.

Joanna helps them decide what flourishing and fulfilment really mean to them, so they can take the right action to make that their reality.
We also discuss extroversion bias within businesses and explore Joanna's role as a champion for us often overlooked introverts, something I am particularly interested in too!
