Traditional productivity advice doesn't tend to work for us rebels, so today I'm sharing a much more powerful alternative that works WITH our human-ness, rather than against it!

Good morning, Daily Peppers. And a very happy Tuesday to you. So this week on the daily pack, we're really focusing on compassionate productivity and really looking at different ways to get shit done that doesn't involve treating ourselves like shit. Because there is so much out there which is supposed to help us really tick things off the to do list and get shit done, that just doesn't work for us or goes against how we naturally tend to work. I get so sick of all these systems that treat you like you're supposed to be some kind of robot and that don't take into account fluctuating energy and moods. And also simply just doesn't take into account the fact that we are humans. We have different contexts, and different things are important to us at different times. And that's why I really love seasonal productivity.

And in particular for me, working 100 day chunks. Because a 100 days is seriously enough time to prove to yourself that you can do stuff and to really make significant progress and show up for yourself. But it is also short enough that it doesn't feel like a cage and you've got a lot of flexibility. For me, and I know for so many of the people I have the privilege of working with, a 100 day containers really give us the freedom back. And, also, they're a way of bringing back possibility and inspiration into the mix as well. By breaking things down into a 100 day chunks, we can really figure out what our theme is, what season of life we're in, and how we're able to show up for it. And it's almost like having 3 years in 1 year. All of this is to say that if you do not feel like you're in your most productive season right now, that is okay, and it's also probably to be expected.

We are in the 10000 days of January. For those of us in the northern hemisphere, we're supposed to be hibernating. And I know a lot of people aren't really feeling this year yet, and you're allowed to meet yourself where you're at. What I'm gonna be recommending to everybody who joins a 100 days of compassionate productivity is really focusing those first 50 days around the tiny but really powerful changes that really make a difference to your daily life. And then heading into the second 50 days when spring is here to get really stuck in when we're probably gonna be feeling a lot more inspired and also more human. So if you'd like to join, you can find out more by heading to therebelrousers.com/100days. The link is also in the show notes. And remember that you get to take back the power.

You can start afresh a 100 days whenever you want to. You get to treat yourself like the fabulous human you are. And doing things with compassion is not fluffy, but rather it is seriously fucking strategic and very effective. Here's to getting shit done with more joy, ease and compassion. I'll see you tomorrow.
