Have you ever felt like you’re falling behind? That overwhelming sense of urgency can creep in, making it seem like everything on your list needs to be done right now. It’s easy to get caught in the trap of urgency shaming, where unrealistic expectations and perceived judgments leave us feeling squeezed and panicked.
But what if it doesn’t have to be that way? In this episode, we explore the concept of slow productivity—a refreshing approach to managing your home, business, parenting, and life without the overwhelm.
We dive into practical ways to pause, check in, and reassess what’s truly urgent. Ask yourself:
- Is this a priority?
- Does it need to be done now?
- Can it wait for another time?
Instead of setting ourselves up with impossible to-do lists, we focus on single-tasking and making sustainable choices. Productivity isn’t about doing it all; it’s about doing what matters most with intention and care.
Join us as we talk through the tension between shame and self-compassion, the myths of urgency, and how we can create a sustainable rhythm in both life and business. Let’s redefine what productivity means—one mindful step at a time.
Until next time LIVE YOUR PASSION,
Love Nat and Mel
