AGILE for Chronic Illness: A No-Hustle Productivity Framework
Ever felt like your to-do list is a personal failure report? In this episode, Jessica shares a powerful mindset shift that transformed how she thinks about productivity. Inspired by AGILE project management and filtered through the lens of chronic illness, this episode explores how redefining “effort” can help you plan, pace, and thrive—without guilt. If you’re tired of pushing through and ready for a more sustainable way of working, this one's for you.
💡 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
How redefining productivity through effort (not just hours or output) can support your energy reality
Four factors to assess effort: knowledge, experience, time, and energy
How to apply AGILE’s sprint mindset to your chronic illness business
Why traditional SOPs and systems often fail us—and how to personalize your workflow
How Jessica used this method to plan and launch the CICEO podcast sustainably
✍️ Gentle Reflection Prompt
Jessica shares an "Effort Audit" exercise. For a few days, track your tasks using these four questions:
Do I already know how to do this?
Have I done this before?
How long will this realistically take, including recovery?
What’s the energy cost—was it draining or energizing?
Look for patterns. What might you shift next week based on this intel?
Remember you're not failing when you rest and recover. You're managing your energy like a strategist—and that’s a strength, not a shortcoming.
