Summary
Have you ever wondered how to focus on your passions and priorities when you feel stuck doing mundane tasks like laundry, buying groceries, and paying bills? I think it’s safe to say we’ve all been there, but I’ll let you in on a secret - systems. Today I had a conversation with Laura, a wife and mother of two sons, ages 10 and 12. She has a Ph.D. and works at a university with faculty, students, and staff to support the use of technology in the curriculum. We dive into how she can make systems work for her so she can live a life that’s more centered around her priorities. We discuss embracing yourself and the imperfections we all have, zoning in on areas that need a system in place, and making others responsible for their own productivity systems.
What’s In This Episode:
Zoning in on specific areas that need a system in place
Giving people responsibility for their own productivity systems
Getting systems up and running to put your tasks on autopilot
Using a springboard to help you overcome obstacles
Embracing your imperfect self
