Apryl Schlueter joins me this week to chat about her journey as a multipotentialite, her fascination with productivity and accomplishment, and her new podcast! It's called The Accomplishment Project, and the promo trailer is out now. If you are catching up on this episode at a later date, you'll likely see a few new episodes as well.
This is a topic that extends nicely from the conversation last time with Becca, which revolved around the question of "completion" - Are multipotentialites guided by the normalized concept of completion, in the sense of, "When you start something, you should finish it"?
Today's conversation appears similar, but as Apryl points out, "accomplishment" is a much more nuanced, and ultimately, emotional experience.
We feel different about accomplishing something, a feeling that may have little to do with actually completing said project or task. It's as much about the journey, and the experience of pursuing an idea.
Now, "completion" may still be integral to the activity, however you want to define it, but "accomplishment" may be different perspective. "I completed my degree," versus, "I accomplished the learning and self-growth that I was looking for."
Apryl is an expert on this, having devoted many of the past years to researching and understanding it, as part of her coaching and community leadership. Of course, as a true multipotentialite, that followed on from studying engineering, working in IT, being a high school math teacher, working in administration and finance, and becoming an entrepreneur, not to mention a busy mom of two teenage boys.
Like many of our guests, she is set up on Substack, so reach out to her there, find her on YouTube at The Cheerful Mind, and if you want to go deeper, you can contribute to The Accomplishment Project by filling out the Contribute to the Project form on the website.
Apryl is gathering data and stories regarding accomplishment, productivity, mindset, and what it takes to actually get stuff done. You don’t have to know exactly how you want to contribute - just share what excites you most right now!
