S1E5 The Six Areas You Need to Embrace for a Productive, Less-Stressed Life (Part 2)

I'm sharing the final three pieces of the Done Not Dusted framework so that you can get productivity, focus, and freedom.

"I've come to see energy as one of our most precious resources."

Hi, I'm Rochelle, the Her Leadership Coach, and I help quietly determined career women step up into leadership roles.

In this episode, we're finishing up the work we started last week on the three pieces of the puzzle to getting things done without stress.

This week, we're focusing on energy, habits, and systems.

I believe that energy is one of our most precious resources, and we need to do everything we can to protect it and work with our natural rhythms. Our productivity is shaped by our habits, so it's important to be mindful of what we're doing and choose habits that will benefit us. Systems can help us be more productive by taking away the need to make decisions or reinvent the wheel every time we do something.

I hope you find this information helpful and that it allows you to lead the way, her way.

In this episode, you will learn the following:
1. How our habits shape our productivity
2. How energy levels affect our ability to focus and be productive
3. How systems can give us back our freedom

Chapter Summaries:

[00:01:15] - Last week, we went through the first three pieces of the puzzle: clarity, the scientist mindset, and being a person of integrity. This week, we're looking at the remaining three: energy, habits and systems. The six areas fall under the framework:. Who do I need to be? How do I work? And what do I do?

[00:02:35] - Energy is one of our most precious resources. We need to protect our energy and work with the natural rhythm of that energy. Get the sleep, eat the foods that give you energy and do the exercise. Work with our energy rather than against it. Think about when you are naturally most awake.

[00:08:13] - Habits are important because they affect our productivity and stress levels. It's important to be mindful about what you're doing, and cataloging your habits is a good place to start the phone, picking up, drinking coffee and going for a run are some of the habits that can be changed.

[00:11:09] - Systems are a set of practices and procedures that are applied to specific activities to achieve a specific result. Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg and others have a system for their clothes, so they wear the same clothes every day. System gives you back your freedom and gives your brain more space for creativity.

[00:14:40] - If you have a couple of minutes to rate and review the podcast, I'd really appreciate it.
