Summary

Hello and welcome to episode 177 of The Mindful Kind podcast about how to be productive when you feel drained.

Thank you to everyone on Instagram who voted for this topic!

First of all, you'll hear about the two things I prioritise when I'm feeling drained; self-care and my podcast (which is the most important part of my work).

You'll also discover my favourite productivity tips, including:

Delete social media apps from your phone
Keep a list of your favourite self-care activities to do when you feel drained
Use apps which help you be productive (I like Forest and MinimaList)
Keep a "dream" to-do list and a "realistic" to-do list
Take mindful breaks. You can learn more about this in my article: http://www.rachaelkable.com/blog/effective-mindful-breaks-at-work

At the end of the episode, I'll also guide you through a short mindfulness technique.

Thank you for listening and I hope you have a wonderful week, Mindful Kind.

0:00.0	Hello everybody and welcome to the mindful kind.
0:07.5	I'm your host, Rachel Cable, and I'm here to share insights into my mindfulness journey
0:12.3	and inspire you to create your own.
0:14.9	Each week, this podcast will bring fresh and exciting news about mindfulness,
0:19.7	from my personal experiences to useful tools and different
0:23.6	mindful techniques.
0:31.5	Hello and welcome to episode 177 of the Mindful Kind podcast. I hope you're having a wonderful day or night and taking
0:41.0	some nice time for yourself. In a recent post on my Instagram, Rachel Cable, I asked my lovely
0:48.1	community to vote for their favourite topic for me to talk about on this episode. And the most
0:53.3	popular one was how to be productive
0:55.7	when you're feeling drained. So that's what I'm going to be sharing with you. And I'm really
1:01.0	excited because this is something I've been figuring out myself lately. It's been a full on
1:06.9	couple of weeks between starting work at my old job at the pharmacy, keeping up with my
1:12.3	business things like the podcast and interviews and articles and everything, and I are still trying
1:19.1	to get our space ready so we can move in properly. On top of all that, I feel like I've been going
1:25.2	through an adjustment stage and mostly I feel okay, but I've also
1:29.9	been feeling a bit low and lonely and uncertain at times. Our lives have changed a lot in the last
1:37.2	few months. My home routine is completely different. The way I work is different and it's just
1:43.4	been a lot to deal with in a fairly
1:45.1	short period of time. In saying that, I'm really proud that I've been keeping up with the
1:51.1	important things and making time for self-care and meditation and exercise so that I can look
1:58.4	after my mental and emotional health as much as I can.
