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.

Let's not let tired get in the way of us doing things that we have intentionally decided we want to do and/or will help us accomplish our goals. Yes, well-rested and energized is the preferred vibe, but we can't have that all the time, and we want to keep the promises we make to ourselves.

In our quest for productivity hacks and all the things we do to make our lives easy, we may be missing the point that not everything is supposed to be that way. Yes, let's streamline and make efficient processes for a lot of things, but let's also remember that challenge leads to growth and accomplishment leads to confidence.

We all know change is hard, but have you thought about why? In this episode I talk about the relationship between change and identity, and how acceptance and experimentation with a light tough can lead to adapting in a way that serves you.
Accept. Experiment. Adapt.

And this week I talk about the case for taking an actual lunch break. An idea you have heard before, I'm sure, but one that many of us don't do on a regular basis. Let's rethink that this week and recommit to not eating by our screens.

In those spaces in between things, our first instinct is often to grab our phones. While there isn't anything overtly "wrong" about that habit, I think we can make our lives happier and more productive if we have a transition time strategy -- one that we use BEFORE we pick up our phones. See if you agree!

In this last part of the unofficial resilience series, I talk about how making it to the other side helps us build resilience as well. While this might sound obvious, it's worth noting, and pondering, about how we can do hard things.

When something goes wrong, there are two key things that can help us build resilience -- right in the middle of it! Acceptance and NBC (next best choice), paired with the game of Whack-A-Mole, can give us the framing and confidence to move forward.

For this week, let's all spend some time thinking about what is our capacity for something going wrong? Schedule-wise, physically and emotionally? (And you can add spiritually if you'd like). And how can we build that capacity?

Feeling like your productivity is a little off? Does it feel like you are playing whack-a-mole and just going from thing to thing to thing? Perhaps your ratios are off -- your thinking/doing ratio. Ideally, we'll spend more time thinking (strategically planning) than doing, and when those ratios are reversed, that's when things aren't at their best. We have do-overs, we do things that we don't need to do, or don't need to do in tha...
We all do it. Someone asks us how we are, and we answer, "Busy!" In this episode, I'm challenging all of us to think about how unhelpful and potentially harmful that can be when we do it on repeat. I think we can do better.

Call it a debrief, or a postmortem, or whatever you would like, but taking time to think about what just happened (an event, project, etc.) is really important for increased productivity. In this episode (Part 2), I talk about the evaluation piece and a couple of good roadmaps.

Conferences are part of many of our professional and personal lives, and we are more likely to maximize these opportunities with a little thought and intentional preparation. In this episode (recorded at a conference!) I share some ideas.

We DO NOT have to start things only on Mondays or the 1st of the Month or the 1st of the Year, or whatever silly ideas we have for when we should start things. Consider an imperfect start for a new habit or goal you want to get going on, and get rid of "all or nothing" thinking in the process!

I walked a 5K every day in March to get me unstuck with rehab and making myself stronger after all of my not-so-fun injury adventures. It gave me confidence, made me stronger, and proved that I can show up for myself. In this episode I share why I think it worked, and why you may want to consider a physical challenge to get you unstuck (from any way you are feeling stuck).
