We are so much more than what we "do". But some of what I accomplish is Olympic level ;)

Hello Reader,

Have you ever judged yourself for what you did or didn't accomplish? I have. And I submit for your approval my Olympic level accomplishments. :-)

You know what I've loved most about the Olympics this year? How we say the humanity of the participants. We had athletes like Simone Biles reminding us about mental health (she stepped away to recover and came back better than ever) and Stephen Nedoroscik--aka Pommel Horse Guy/Clark Kents--showing us the many sides of a specialist (Nerds FTW). It was beautiful to see the concentration and focus of an Olympian in the context of their full lives.

We are so much more than what we "do"! There is always more to us than meets the eye. And the irony is, honoring WHO we are is key to being our most productive.

We are complex humans with challenges and experiences, and we need to honor all aspects of our lives. This is why my approach to productivity is PERSON FIRST.

When we work together, we do NOT start with productivity tools and techniques. We start with YOU. You'll complete personality and strengths assessments and we'll talk about values and passions, family life and fun. And I'll bet it's a conversation you haven't had in quite some time. (Adulting, amirite?)

It's a Strategy that places your wants/needs and limits/abilities first. That is the key to my Compassionate, Holistic, and Personalized Productivity.

Why did I take this approach? Because I know what it's like to be in survival mode. I've lived a life of caregiving and grief with burnout, and I know that we simply cannot fight our way through. We need to finesse and finetune in a way that keeps us healthy and happy. We need to approach life and ourselves with a bit more kindness. Would you agree?

I'd love for you to reply and share your thoughts. Are you the "hard work gets the job done" kinda person or the "there has to be a better way" kind? (Or maybe a bit of both?)

Until next time, keep up that Olympic level spirit and keep making space for what matters,

~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...
