Summary

Hello friends!

This week, we are tackling a question straight from my Gentle Productivity Club membership.

Here it is:

“Do you think it's easier to be gently productive after years of working to burn out?

I love the idea of being soft and gentle with myself, but I'm pretty early in my career and feel like I need to spend my spare time working now and be gentle later.”

Such a great question, right?!

So in this episode, we’re talking about:

Does it ever make sense to hustle now and rest later? (spoiler alert: nope!)
The big productivity myth
5 things to think about as we step into gentle productivity

Tweets/Quotes:

“When we put aside the myth that says working harder equals more success, we can ask ourselves: what do I want to believe about success, about what's possible, about what that success looks like, about what creates it?”

“You have to trust yourself enough to know when you need to slow down. Yes, it's going to feel slower, but the quality of what you're able to create is going to be so much higher.”

“Remember that you are not even going to be able to call on the discernment that you might need, the faith that you might need, the trust that you might need, that radical self belief that you might need until you slow down.”

0:21.2	This week, I'm excited to tackle a question that I got from one of our
0:25.0	Gentle Productivity Club members for a Q&A.
0:29.2	But as soon as I saw it, I was like, oh, my gosh, we've got to turn this into a whole
0:33.1	episode.

No hustle included. Yes. Here's the question that came in. Do you think it's easier to be
0:57.3	gently productive after years of working to burnout? I love the idea of being soft and gentle with myself,
1:05.6	but I'm pretty early in my career and feel like I need to spend my spare time working now and be gentle later.
1:11.8	A lot of the quote, be nice to yourself content in my feed comes from people who work to
1:16.7	burnout when they were younger and are coming home to gentleness. When their businesses and lives
1:23.1	look from my perspective, settled and successful due to their prior hard work years.
1:30.2	The first reason I got so excited about this question is because it's something that I have
1:34.5	wondered for a really long time. Being an internet dinosaur, I started blogging in 2008, started my
1:42.7	podcast in 2014, started my coaching business in 2011.
1:47.0	And yeah, I have seen a lot of different trends come and go.
1:52.0	And for so long, it was that girl boss culture, go, you gotta hustle.
1:58.0	I'm not even pointing fail.
1:59.0	I was doing it too. And then we got to a point where people did
