Everyone wants to be productive. It’s important for us to achieve our goals, which is why I focus on it as a productivity strategist. But there is more to it than most resources and experts would have you believe. Join me for a conversation about productivity that will be much different and much deeper than others you’ve heard. This week, episode 170 of the Positively Living Podcast is about what being productive really means for you! 


Productivity is not something you strive for on principle. You’re not trying to be productive for productivity’s sake, but for your sake…to support the life you want to live.

I cover the following topics:

  • The original concept of productivity and how it’s changed
  • How our productivity levels affect and are affected by how we live
  • My story of caregiving 
  • The deeper purpose of productivity.
  • How being productive connects to resilience and thriving..

Productivity is not about doing more. It’s a means to live more.
