I’ll admit it—I didn’t expect to love this book. But Feel Good Productivity by Ali Abdaal completely surprised me, and today, I’m breaking down why.

As a time management and productivity expert, I’ve read a lot of productivity books. And let’s be honest—most of them are written with men in mind, filled with rigid routines and advice that simply doesn’t work for women juggling careers, families, and everything in between. I went into this book skeptical, but what I found was a refreshing, realistic take on productivity that actually fits real life—especially if you struggle with procrastination, burnout, or feeling disconnected from how you spend your time.

In This Episode, We’ll Explore:

  • The three-part framework of Feel Good Productivity and how it applies to women
  • Why traditional productivity advice often fails for women (and how this book is different)
  • My favorite takeaways and actionable tips for balancing productivity with real life
  • Who I think should absolutely read this—and who might not need to

If you’ve ever felt like productivity books don’t take into account the mental load, caregiving, or constant demands on your time, this episode will show you a new way to think about productivity—one that prioritizes joy, energy, and real progress.
