101. Productivity’s BAD Reputation...

<p>What do you think of when you hear the word "productivity?"</p> <p>For many, productivity gets a bad reputation. It just sounds "icky." It's a buzz word we all use to promote our hustle culture. There's a time and place for hustle, but I'm here to share that the hustle (except for my favorite 70's disco) is not sustainable long term.</p> <p>So instead, I've recently started to talk about "healthy productivity."&nbsp;</p> <p>In today's episode, I'm defining "healthy productivity" and sharing what it feels like. No bad reputation here! (And with that, I'm now listening to Taylor Swift's Reputation album...love.).</p> <p>Healthy Productivity looks and feels like...</p> <ul> <li>Not feeling addicted to working</li> <li>Accomplishing your intentional focus</li> <li>The tasks you did move your work forward so you know it was the right intention (even if it fails or you learn something)</li> <li>You find internal gratitude and excitement for what you’re doing vs. seeking applause or praise to stay motivated</li> <li>You come up with new ideas for improving the work or doing it different or more efficiently. You keep innovating and continuously improving</li> <li>You’re excited when you sit down to work</li> <li>You feel pulled or drawn to the work</li> </ul> <p>If you don’t feel these things..Unhealthy Productivity may be a result of...</p> <ul> <li>Alignment issues - Is this the right work right now</li> <li>Values issue - Is this counter to my ethics, morals, or maybe I don't understand or agree with the "why" behind the work</li> <li>Tired or burned out and need a break or space from the work</li> <li>Pushed to the work, no internal motivation</li> <li>Too much work and your energy is spread too thin</li> </ul> <p>Visit www.GlowGettersLife.com/Blog for the full blog post.&nbsp;</p> <p>---</p> <p><a href="https://leadership-collaborative-with-kfa.mn.co/landing/plans/164860"><strong>The Leader Toolkit Course</strong></a> is open for enrollment!</p> <ul> <li><u>The Leader Toolkit Course</u> (lifetime access)Videos, PDF course material, and downloadable files for each module</li> <li><u>Course Add-on Modules</u> (Example Topics: Communication, Boundaries, Perfectionism, Purpose, Connection, Self Belief, etc.) (lifetime access)</li> <li><a href="https://leadership-collaborative-with-kfa.mn.co/"><strong>Leadership Collaborative Community Membership</strong></a><a href="https://leadership-collaborative-with-kfa.mn.co/"><strong> </strong></a>&nbsp;(lifetime access)</li> <li><u>Leadership Coaching from Kayla</u> within the Leadership Collaborative Community + course support and your ?'s answered</li> </ul> <p><strong>Connect &amp; Get More Leadership Tips:</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="https://view.flodesk.com/pages/6089d230460b001b080c193e"><strong>Get My Newsletter</strong></a></li> <li><a href="https://view.flodesk.com/pages/60b0c81fdb439e2501178e7a"><strong>Free Resource Library</strong></a></li> <li><a href="https://www.glowgetterslife.com/"><strong>Website &nbsp;</strong></a><a href="https://glowgetterslife.com/"><strong>&nbsp;</strong></a></li> <li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcXqvEnosZQLEDBbxXPRcjA"><strong>YouTub
