203. Redefining Productivity for Entrepreneurs with Neill Williams

When we think about better time management and how to increase productivity, it’s tempting to believe that if we could perfectly color-code our calendars or find the best scheduling hack, all the overwhelm and stress would disappear. Those of us who have tried those methods time and again, yet still feel overworked and frustrated, know they’re not the quick fix we want them to be. Here’s the good news: increasing productivity gets easier when you embrace holistic time management and accept yourself right where you are.

In this episode, I'm thrilled to bring you an incredible interview with productivity coach Neill Williams. Neill is a Master Coach who specializes in helping female entrepreneurs improve productivity, efficiency, and performance, and she hosts the podcast, Success Genius. She is an advocate for taking care of yourself and building a business that truly supports you. You’ll love her insights on how to increase productivity in a way that aligns with the life you want to create.

One of the things I admire most about Neill’s approach to productivity is how she focuses on its connection to science and physiology. Productivity isn’t just about the clock—your mind, body, and emotions play a huge role in your time management. When we force ourselves to stick to a calendar or use external tools to fit the mold of productivity, we reinforce patterns of overworking and stress. Neill invites you to accept the unique state of your body, mind, and emotions to unlock a new kind of productivity–one that actually works for you.

The most important factor in increasing productivity is taking into account what's happening inside of you–embracing it as part of your efficiency power, rather than something that’s wrong with you. I’m so glad you’re here with me to discover a new way forward. Let’s do it!

What you’ll learn:

• The powerful impact of the nervous system on productivity and performance
• What to do when your physiology doesn’t match the plan you made on your calendar
• How your “body budget” impacts focus and efficiency
• Examples of tools to use to calm your nervous system and increase focus
• Why slowing down can actually increase productivity
