Handled(ish): Productivity for the Imperfect
Handled(ish): Productivity for the Imperfect is a weekly podcast hosted by Betsy A. Hays, an educator, author and speaker who is a self-proclaimed productivity nerd. It's a practical and humorous look at productivity, how to get things done well, and how to accept that a lot of things will just get "done enough" -- and that's ok. The podcast is both philosophical and practical, and included in each episode are ideas that listeners can immediately use. Because she practices what she "preaches," the podcast is imperfect, like all of us, and hopefully serves as a reminder that the beauty of life is often in its imperfections.

Sometimes we humans are funny. We will talk badly about something, pointing out what's wrong, what we don't like, etc. - and then wonder why nothing changes. What if we flipped the script? What if we love the thing? Would that help facilitate positive change? Let's try that in some aspect of our lives this week, and perhaps start with our schedules?

It's my birthday week, and this year's reflection includes being more mindful of showing up as my most authentic and unapologetic self. And if I let this version of me make my schedule, I think the results will be amazing!

Using our time well is all about intention, and having a very clear idea of what's not for us can be really helpful. In this episode I talk about why you may want to create a list to help you really know what you don't want in your life anymore, which makes room for what you do!

Imagine yourself on the upcoming New Year's Eve. You are toasting all of the great things that have happened during the past year, as well as noting how you got through the rough parts. Now, consider if your current calendar sets you up for the toast you want to make. This episode is all about this idea, and how there is still time to pivot.

We've all been there. Where do you want to eat? I don't know, where do you want to eat? You pick. No, you pick. UGH!! It's no fun at all and sometimes takes some of the joy out of eating out. In this episode I share ideas on making all of that go away. Can we get a YAY?

While you might thing that the title of this podcast is hyperbole, I promise you - it isn't. Adding a pending folder (and using it!) to your email process will free up brain space and make your life happier, I assure you. It will also help prevent anything from falling through the cracks.

Batching similar tasks is always a good productivity strategy, but so is batching tasks that you aren't excited about doing. Hence, the idea of having a frog day, or a frog hour, where you chunk a bunch of things together that you aren't looking forward to, and then miraculously, they get done! Calling it a frog day is a more fun way to look at this idea, and if you are an emoji person, you already know that...

Set the criteria - what "boxes" do you need to check to make your choice? Spend some thoughtful time doing that, then make the first best choice. And then do something else that is (most likely) more important - or more fun!

Back in episode 5, I talked about introducing our fantasy selves to our real selves in order to let go of ideas about who we are that aren't even who we really want to be. In this episode, I change my mind (just a tiny bit) on one of those things for me, and talk about why maybe we should revisit some of these ideas as things shift in our lives.
Enjoy. 🤍🩵💙🎙️
