Mental health is my reason for making space...

On Friday I had planned to message you about habits, but "life" happened, and my message had to wait. While I'm careful about the personal details I share as some of my family life is not my story to tell, I can tell you that walking my own compassionate productivity walk has helped me live a life fully present for those I love.

Something happened with my youngest (who just turned 14) that required me to drop everything. If you've been there with loved ones, as a caregiver, with those who struggle with mental wellness...any of that...you know how everything you thought was important can fade in an instant.

I'm grateful to say we weathered the storm well and today in the quiet of a Sunday, I can check in with you and share my perspective.

When I talk about productivity and efficiency and the choices we make, it's all based on our values and what's important. It's about simplifying and cutting out what doesn't matter so you make space for what does and so you can be flexible when you need it most.

Sometimes making space looks like rearranging plans easily. Sometimes it looks like acceptance and understanding that you simply cannot do what you wanted to do. Sometimes it's about space to breathe and recover after a tough time. All of this space is essential to avoid burnout and be well. And that's what we're working on together here.

In addition to our conversations here, I talk about these topics on the podcast as well, with both guests and in quiet solo episodes where it's just us. If this topic speaks to you, I recommend the following playlists:

If there is a resource or topic you're specifically looking for, you can either use the search bar on the PODCAST page or reply and ask me. I'm happy to help.

Keep making space for what matters and do remember that includes you.

Warmly,

~Lisa

Reader As a productivity coach and caregiver, I've learned a secret to unlocking your full potential that is easy to overlook: addressing the unseen impacts of trauma. Too often, we approach getting things done as a one-size-fits-all solution, failing to recognize how our past experiences shape our present-day challenges. But what if the real game-changer is adopting a trauma-informed mindset? The reality is trauma manifests in countless ways, from difficulty concentrating to physical...

Reader As a fellow multi-passionate creative and caregiver, I know how overwhelming it can feel to tackle big events, projects, or life goals. The to-do lists, the deadlines, the constant juggling is…well...a LOT. The answer, as you likely already know, is planning. But this is where most of us get stuck. We sit down and start creating a todo list and the overwhelm kicks in. It’s not just about what needs to be done, it’s about when it needs to be done (as well as by whom). And that’s not...

Reader Yes, I’m a Harry Potter fan from ages ago and I can’t help but reference it. I recall watching the movies and thinking a Remembrall could really come in handy some days. But one problem: it only reminded you that you forgot something, not what you forgot! How do you keep from forgetting stuff? Especially when the mental load of caregiving and all the creative ideas fill your brain and keep you from functioning at your best? The solution is simpler than you might think. It's all about...
