    119 - Turn Your Strengths Into Real-Life Guardrails

    Marcey Rader walks through her top five CliftonStrengths and how they help and sometimes hinder, including the change vs acceptance partner dynamic, why Maximizer means hiring experts, and how low Empathy can still show care through action.   Why it matters • Assessments don’t change behavior.

    118 - Stop Calendar Decorating: Prioritize First with the Altitude Method

    If everything is important, nothing is. Use a simple altitude model to set one to three priorities and make your plans stick. In this episode of the Health‑Powered Productivity™ Podcast, Marcey Rader turns resolutions into reality with ruthless prioritization. She walks through the Altitude Method from annual to daily, the Rule of Three, and how to cascade priorities into monthly plans without overstuffing your calendar. Marcey shares personal examples, the Top 3 practice, and the habits that support execution. Why It Matters • Planning without prioritizing wastes time, creates rework, and fuels failure. • One to three priorities align decisions and attention. • Guardrails reduce decision fatigue, so follow‑through improves. What You’ll Learn • The five altitudes: annual, quarterly, monthly, weekly, daily. • The Rule of Three and why fewer priorities create a higher likelihood of reaching your goals. • Micro‑habits that support execution, including No Nightly Scroll.   Key Takeaways Prioritize first. Then plan. Never set more than three priorities at any altitude. One is allowed. If it matters, put time on the calendar. Wishes don't work. Do‑This‑Now Exercise Say it and write it. This year I am prioritizing [1–3 things]. In Q1, success looks like [one outcome per priority]. This month, the next step is [one task per priority].   Sustainable performance beats burnout every time.
