Finding Your Most Productive State

Positively Living®: Shame-Free Productivity Conversations

Text your thoughts and questions!

So often, we get caught up in how we think we’re “supposed to” approach productivity– comparing ourselves to others, their routines, and their outputs, leaving us to feel like we’re falling short. Productivity isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach, but when we tap into what works for us, we can achieve so much. This week, episode 265 of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast is about finding your most productive state!

In this episode of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast, I share the critical importance of understanding your unique needs for effective productivity and give you actionable steps to take right now to find your flow.

I cover the following topics:

• What “flow state” is and what is scientifically happening in our brains when we enter this state of consciousness.
• The distinction between a flow state and establishing a habit.
• Tips to find your flow state and maximize your productivity when you’re in it.

Remember, finding your most productive state is a journey. Start small, with manageable steps, and give yourself flexibility and grace as you practice getting into a flow state. This is about discovering what works for YOU, and that may take time.
