Seven Practical Habits for Boosting Productivity

Hey Friend!

Feeling like there’s never enough time in the day? You’re juggling your business, your content, and your life—and most days, it just feels like a lot. This episode is here to help you take back your time with seven practical habits to boost your productivity without sacrificing your peace.

If you’ve ever found yourself stuck in busywork, procrastinating, or feeling scattered, this is the episode to plug into during your next walk or coffee break. I’m walking you through simple ways to work smarter, not harder—so you can make intentional progress in both your business and your life.

We’re talking real-life systems (yes, even how I plan meals in Notion), mindset shifts, and daily strategies that help you stay focused on what actually matters. Because let’s be honest: your time is one of your greatest assets, and how you manage it makes all the difference.

In today’s episode, you’ll learn:

• Why tracking your time is the first step to making better decisions
• How to create systems that save you time and energy (even at home!)
• Why your list—especially your “Not To-Do List”—might be missing
• What it means to map your work like a project manager
• How to use daily goals to stay consistent and build momentum
• The power of batching tasks and how to avoid burnout while doing it
• Why scheduling a hard stop can actually help you get more done

You want to grow your business and still have energy left for your personal life. These seven habits will help you focus your time where it counts, reduce the overwhelm, and bring more intention into your workdays. It's not about doing more—it’s about doing what matters most.
