Ep 120: The Butterfly Effect: How taking a day off from your to-do list is a good thing

Ep 120: The Butterfly Effect: How taking a day off from your to-do list is a good thing In this episode of the Productivity Shift Podcast, host Elise Enriquez explores the concept of 'butterfly days' inspired by the butterfly effect. A butterfly day is a time where there are no set plans, allowing for spontaneous and restorative activities. Elise shares personal experiences, including how her wife benefits from these unstructured days working in the yard and how she herself finds creativity and relaxation on such days. She suggests that scheduling these butterfly days can be a valuable simple system for enhancing productivity and well-being. Listeners are encouraged to experiment with their own butterfly days and share their experiences. 00:00 Introduction to the Butterfly Effect 00:20 Welcome to the Productivity Shift Podcast 00:53 Pop Culture and The Butterfly Effect 01:44 A Different Kind of Butterfly Effect 02:01 Personal Stories and Realizations 04:09 The Importance of Butterfly Days 06:03 Implementing Butterfly Days in Your Life 06:54 Join the GYST Community 07:50 Conclusion and Next Steps 08:01 Take the Productivity Personality Quiz: https://www.eliseenriquez.com/quiz

What is The Productivity Shift?

Have you ever noticed how most productivity advice doesn’t work for women?

That’s because you’re not a man who has a spouse at home who takes care of all the things. You’re juggling your business, your career, and your family. It’s a lot, and no wonder why things slip through the cracks despite your best intentions to get it all done.

When you treat everything as an urgent priority, you lose all sense of what truly matters. This podcast is here to help you change all of that. One week at a time.

Unlike other shows about productivity, only The Productivity Shift helps women in charge (in their biz, at work, at home, etc) take back their time and use it to make progress on what matters most to them.

Each week, Elise Enriquez, a productivity dork and certified life coach, guides you to redefine what productivity is to you. You’ll get strategies and insights you can implement right away. Lighten your load and focus on what’s most important so you can create a life and business that is meaningful to you.
