The Myths Around Productivity

from Mindset Unlimited: Tips, Tools, and Inspiration for Women in a Time of Change · host Valerie Friedlander

The myths around productivity are hurting both your productivity AND your mental health. Mythologies always have a purpose for being created, usually to explain something or to illustrate a cultural ideal. These myths of productivity were generated to turn abusive labor practices into an internalized cultural ideal that we then perpetuate upon ourselves. This narrative leads us to abuse ourselves to live up do this mythology’s “good person” and the belief that if we are good enough we will eventually achieve some future dream life. In this episode of Unlimited, I call out the lies that have become our myths around productivity and invite you into a new narrative of holistic wellness and sustainable living.Some of what I talk about in this episode includes:The definition of productivity and its impactStories you tell yourself that keep you stuckMotivation and the story of lazyRe-thinking time managementCreating a process that supports youThank you for listening and be sure to tune in next week for more tips on motivation and time management!If you enjoyed this episode, please share it!
