The Productivity Project Kat Hunter

I'm challenging myself to improve my productivity by changing the way I use my phone over 30 days. We’re at DAY 6 PEOPLE, day 6 and my goodness. PICK UPS ARE A THING.

I’ve ALWAYS had a sneaking suspicion that my phone is a HUGE factor in WHY I’ve increasingly felt like a seagull in a chip factory when it comes to being able to focus on anything for longer than 5 minutes.

In this episode, I spill the terrifying stats on how often I pick up my phone, the ULTRA-powerful productivity mindset tool anyone can implement when it comes to drastically decreasing how much you pick up your phone, AND the 5 phone-terventions I'm implementing to ditch the distraction and improve my focus, concentration and how present I feel.

If you’ve felt your blood pressure and anxiety levels rising while reading this episode description and you’ve been struggling with your focus and concentration for as long as you can remember now, listen to this episode and arm yourself with the 5 INTERVENTIONS I’m implementing this week to WIN AT PHONE-GATE (because it's a competition, guys) and increase my focus and productivity.

While my jam is helping service providers simplify productivity so they can work when they want (and not when they don’t) - by day, I AM that service provider.I’m a virtual assistant specialising in content creation. My phone is, well, how I do a hay-uge proportion of my job.But as far as distractions go, our smartphones are one of THE biggest suckers of our concentration and focus. And it feels like we’re helpless when it comes to changing this.

So I’m challenging myself to transform how much, how often and why I use my smartphone over the next 30 days.I’ll be tracking:📱Screen time and pick ups📱Changes in how ‘focussed’ I feel or my ability to concentrate📱Changes in productivity or my capacity to get things done in the time I set to do them📱Changes in my relationships

A few months in to starting my own business, I felt this niggling feeling that something just wasn’t right about the way I was able to work. How long I was able to concentrate. What I was able to do in a day.

I couldn’t figure out what to do next and I wondered if I’d ever be able to concentrate for more than 10 minutes again.

The Kat story had always included words like ‘organised’, ‘efficient’ ‘productive’.

And for years, I’d been able to operate like a robot because I worked in environments that were designed to cultivate robot-style productivity through years of centuries-old social conditioning.

So when I left that environment and went out on my own?

I spent months chasing the right systems and thousands of dollars investing in resources to help me get the things I wanted to do done.

But none of that made much difference because I was still overlooking one huge component of creating easeful productivity.

In this week's episode, I talk about:

- How to uncover the REAL reason you're procrastinating (and what to do about it)

- The huge transition no one's talking about when you leave your 9-5 and WHY you're finding it hard to be productive

- The ultimate productivity superpower behind all those apps, planners and systems that will completely change the way you work

Starting your own business shines a glaring, back of your iPhone hits you in the face style spotlight onto everything you think you know about the best way to work.

In the midst of all this fluffy freedom and flexibility frippery floating around on the internet, what they DON’T tell you is that running your own business or working for yourself will EXPLODE the amount of hours you need to work - if you keep trying to work in the same way you did when you were employed.

In this week's episode of The Productivity Project, I talk about:

- The moment when everything In thought I knew about balancing work and life came crashing down

- Why I still missed my kids even though I had more time with them on paper

- Urgency productivity and why it'll actually STOP you from achieving your goals

- The number one thing the experts aren't talking about when it comes to productivity as a service provider

Society has conditioned us to believe that rest comes after work as some sort of reward.

We're constantly on the go, juggling work, family, and everything in between. And when we finally do get a chance to rest, our brains are like, "hold up, shouldn't you be doing something?"

In this episode, I talk about how to break free from this cycle as a booked out service provider and leverage rest to help you achieve your goals.

In this episode:

- What rest actually means when it comes to productivity (and why it doesn't necessarily have to involve sleep or even lying down)

- Why you should integrate it (and the biggest mistake most of us make when it comes to getting the rest we need)

- How to tell the difference between needing to rest and procrastination or work avoidance



I’ve started pulling the curriculum framework together for my
program for booked out service providers who love supporting clients BUT who have had your OWN business or project on simmer in the background for as long as you can remember.
