Why I'm Aiming for Effectiveness Over Efficiency This Season

this week on Honing In

School’s out for summer…which means it’s finally time to pick up those projects you’ve been dreaming of starting (or avoiding entirely, whoops). Before you develop a 9-to-5 bootcamp or time block your days into oblivion, I invite you to take a deep breath and consider what an effective approach to productivity could look like for you this season.

On today’s solo episode of Honing In, I’ll walk listeners through my process for setting summer goals by referencing my free workshop “How to Effectively Reach Your Goals this Season.”

TUNE IN HERE

When we aim for effectiveness over efficiency, we make a plan that acknowledges our individual needs around time, energy, and focus. In doing so, we strategically chip away at our tasks with intention, versus racing to finish, which may cause overwhelm and burnout.

Join me for my reflections and a-ha moments, plus an invitation to try out the workshop prompts yourself to plan truly effective goals in this season of your life!

Take care and talk soon,
