Productive Introvert Community with Mariella Franker, PhD Mariella Franker

It’s been a dream of mine to take off 2+ months a year. After I spoke about this in one of the previous episode, I learned that other people share this dream too.

In this episode, I’ll tell you more about my first experiment with taking a 2-month break from work and 2 essential habits that helped me with time management and energy management.

Are you wondering how you can make taking a 2 month break a reality in your life? I’ll share some practical advice how to approach this yourself. Watch the video for insights drawn from my own experiences and my role as a habit coach for introverts.

Discover why the magic lies in transitions – how we shift from one activity to another can make or break our ability to embrace change, whether it's a lengthy break, a new job, or transforming your dietary habits.

I'll share two powerful examples of habits from my life that can inspire you to identify a critical area in your own life and cultivate 1 or 2 key habits that will bring you peace of mind. Plus, I'll provide essential tips for creating a morning routine that truly works for you.

If you’re an introvert and you feel like you have no energy, you’re struggling to find a morning routine that actually works, or you’re looking for ways to improve your energy management and time management skills, then this episode is for you.

A lot of introverts struggle to manage their energy and their time and wish that they had better time management skills. But no matter how well they try to organize their calendar or their morning routine, they’re still feel tired all the time.

In this episode, we talk about an unexpected source that causes many introverts to feel low energy: an internal struggle with the inner critic. You know, that little voice in your head that likes to point out all the things you’re doing wrong.

I was recently reminded of the force of the inner critic when I explored what it would be like to take a 2-months break from work and… all my plans came to a grinding halt!

We rarely talk about the inner critic and can quickly feel like something is wrong with us for having negative thoughts. But, the inner critic is completely normal. Not just for introverts, both introverts and extroverts have negative thoughts.

Watch now to learn more about this. I’ll also share how I decreased my workload so that I could take a 2-month break off work (and how I plan to make this a regular thing), what went well and what didn’t, and what you can do to release guilt and stop negative thoughts when things don’t go according to plan.

I want share something with you today about a decision that I've made and that will influence the podcast and how often you hear from me. Don't worry, I'll say right away that the podcast will continue. But there are going to be a couple of changes.

I've decided to take a long summer break this year and I'll be taking time away from the podcast for two months. It’s a bit deal! I don’t think I’ve taken such a long vacation, well, ever…

It was always part of the plan when I started my coaching business. It was always one of my wishes that the business could potentially grant me: to be able to take extended periods of time off - at least 2 months a year. This year, I’m doing a “soft” version of that.

In this episode, I’ll share with you what I mean with a “soft” version, why now, and how this will influence the podcast moving forward.
