=======================
Did you know that there is a top-secret conspiracy that is fighting to take your time, energy, and attention from the stuff you care about? It works ruthlessly at all hours of the day and night to steal from you.
Do you know what it is?
Your email inbox. Dun, dun, dun!
OK, maybe I'm being a little dramatic. I mean, it's not really a conspiracy, but doesn't it feel that way sometimes? You think you know how your day is gonna go and then you look at your email and you're like...what the...???
Or maybe you are looking at your email first thing in the morning while you're still in bed and it starts stressing you out–and you start replying to stuff–before your feet even hit the floor. Don’t get me wrong. I don't see anything necessarily wrong with opening your email in bed. If it works for you, go for it.
Email is just another form of interruption, and interruptions are neutral. They are not good or bad. They are, by definition, things that pause the continuous progress of an activity or process.
Some interruptions are more intrusive (like a phone call from an elderly parent that doesn't normally call you in the middle of the day) and others can be kept at bay and engaged with when you choose to engage with them. Email, for most people, falls into this category.
In this episode, I’m talking about how to take back control of your time, attention, and energy. Before you let your email take over your day, start your day with intention.
After you’ve listened don’t forget to head on over to @TheProductivityShift on Instagram or Facebook to share your experiment or ideas with others.
**This podcast is lovingly created by yours truly, Elise Enriquez, and produced by Rachael Sanya.
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.
