Have you ever had a day where you checked everything off of your to-do list but still felt unfulfilled? It’s a common conundrum (and a major source of frustration and burnout) to feel busy but not truly productive. This week on the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast, I’m diving head first into this issue. I reveal two types of productivity that, when they are both honored, can transform how you approach your work and life.
In this episode of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast, I’m exploring the two types of productivity: functional and emotional, encouraging you to challenge the traditional, functional-first approach to productivity and give you actionable steps you can take right now to integrate emotional productivity to make you feel like you’re truly living… beyond the to-do list.
I cover the following topics:
- The difference between functional and emotional productivity.
- Why we as a culture undervalue and dismiss emotional productivity.
- Using emotional productivity as a powerful strategy for preventing burnout.
- Practical steps and simple habits to build emotional productivity.
Let this be a reminder that productivity isn’t just about what you do but about how you feel while you’re doing it. When you honor both your functional and emotional productivity needs, you create a life that has both momentum and meaning.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
