Holistic productivity is the remedy to the pervasive hustle culture that promotes productivity at the expense of our relationships and humanity. Toxic productivity is violence to the soul.

In this episode, I talk about 5 principles I live by when structuring my week and work life. Work to live, don’t live to work. I share how I optimize my life to love more (not do more) while doing meaningful work.

#1 Principle: Work according to your body energy.
#2 Principle: Time blocking with fixed-schedule productivity.
#3 Principle: The simpler the routine, the better.
#4 Principle: Ruthlessly eliminate distractions.
#5 Principle: Work to live, don’t live to work.
