This week, I'm in a bit of a pickle. This episode is all about why I’m kinda over traditional productivity hacks - because let’s be honest - we just don’t need another system to squeeze more out of ourselves. What we do need aka crave? A brain that actually gets a second to breathe. In this episode, I’m sharing seven tiny things I’ve been doing lately that have nothing to do with productivity (but have actually made me way more productive anyway). In this episode: ✔️ Why your brain never stops spinning (and why it’s not because you need a better planner) ✔️ The sneaky ways solo business life messes with your focus and energy ✔️ Tiny shifts that actually help you feel clearer, calmer, and like yourself again If you ever feel like you’re always on but never really on top of things , this episode is for you. P.S. Found this one helpful? Read my latest post on Substack. You'll find me here: https://productivitykat.substack.com/…

The 3 f's of solo business life: freedom, flexibility, fun … right? So why does your nervous system reality feel more like fight, flight or freeze? (Or copious amounts of fries, depending on your coping snack of choice). In this episode, I'm sharing why I'm secretly over trying to “do more in less time.” A bit of a productivity pivot, if you will - and why obsessing over being productive and feverishly managing your time is really not the answer when it comes to what's really keeping you stuck. Instead, I’m exploring the real reasons behind why you feel burnt out, overwhelmed, and permanently behind as a solo business owner or solopreneur. (Spoiler: it’s not because you’re bad at time management or naturally unproductive) In this episode, we'll talk: ✔️ The hidden mental toll of solo business life (and why it's actually got nothing to do with how well you manage your time) ✔️ The cycle of “sprint → burnout → repeat” that’s quietly wreaking havoc on your focus and energy ✔️ The shocking mental health stats for solopreneurs (seriously, this one blew my mind) ✔️ 5 tiny, game-changing shifts to support your headspace and mental health as a solo business owner If you’ve ever felt like you’re constantly “ on ” but never on top of things , this episode is your permission slip to step off the productivity hamster wheel and start supporting yourself instead .

I didn’t choose to learn EVERYTHING I could possibly learn about productivity because I wanted to help women in business work more. I chose it because I felt pretty damn frustrated (and, let’s be honest, still do) that despite more women working than ever, our society STILL places the brunt of time stress on- Women. Outdated social expectations around childcare, family, and household responsibilities are STILL leaving us stretched too thin - and feeling like there’s never enough time to actually LIVE. Throw running your own business and supporting a full client portfolio into the mix? No WONDER you’re procrastinating. No WONDER you feel like you can't focus when you want to. 2025 has started a little bit differently. There’s a different energy in the air. Some of us are all up in here starting strong but some of us? 🎈 Well, we’re feeling a little bit side-swiped by the overload that was 2024. And we’re wondering how we’re going to do it all again in 2025. 🫠 If this is you, I see you. I was you. I still AM you. This episode, I'm sharing the most sustainable way to stop procrastination (especially if you're a booked out service provider). I’m kicking off the beta round of my mini-course, Poolside Planning Playbook next week - the complete framework to help service providers and solo business owners create a dream weekly schedule, align your time with values and goals and FINALLY feel in control of your week. 🏖️ Comment ‘POOLSIDE’ to save your spot - FREE. ⬇️…

I had a really confronting realisation over the holidays. 😱 I took a TOTAL switch off from everything to do with my business for two weeks - clients, emails, content, admin, building my course, my podcast - EVERYTHING. And I loved it. So much that I didn’t want to go back. 😓 In the past, I’d usually take this as a sign that something big needed to change. This would look like: ❌Scrolling seek.com dejectedly looking at the same roles I walked out of over two years ago and wondering if I should just go back ❌Throwing in the towel completely and putting myself and my family in a (previously stressful but possible, now completely unthinkable) precarious financial position ❌Latching on to every new business idea I came across on the ‘gram and downloading every single free resource I could find But this time, I didn't want to do that. So what am I doing instead? In this episode, I'm sharing the ONE powerful tool that will help you make 2025 the year you THRIVE (not just survive) and the three step process I recommend to help you implement it every, single, day. I’m kicking off the beta round of my mini-course, Poolside Planning Playbook in January 2025. It's the complete framework to help service providers and solo business owners create a dream weekly schedule, align your time with values and goals and FINALLY feel in control of your week.

If I had a dollar for every client or business owner I know who's said: 'I'd love to do x but I just don't have time' 'I just wish I had more time for y' 'I know I need to prioritise - but everything feels like a priority!' I'd be a very rich, erm, podcast host. In this episode, I'm taking you through 5 unconventional ways to gift yourself an extra 5 hours a week - unconventional because none of these suggestions involve: - Waking up earlier - Staying up later - Seeing your family less - Working for an extra hour a day - Batching your weekly teeth brushing into a once a week slot, batch cooking your meals monthly or scheduling your content annually I'll be sharing very practical, very implementable suggestions that are definitely not what you'll find if you Google 'how to get more time.'

What do you actually want more time for? Most solo business owners crave more time and feel like we never have enough of it, and traditional productivity culture will have us believing we can multi-task and plan and work our way into more time at the end of some magical to-do list. But the truth is, we all have the same 24 hours in a day. So how can you work with the time you do have to create the time-rich week you left your 9-5 for? This episode will take you through my exact process for creating your ideal week with bucketloads of time, on repeat. Want to snoop my calendar and see how I create my time-rich week?

You wouldn't ghost a lunch date with a friend in favour of doom scrolling on the couch - so why are you doing it to yourself? The end of year-it-is is already coming in hot, with most of us panicking about the goals languishing on our vision boards or Gantt charts that we (yet again) haven't brought to life. But if you're planning on doing a repeat of last year and sailing into 2025 with a fresh planner and newly populated spreadsheet to get you through, you may find yourself in the exact same boat this time next year. The Boat of No Time. In this week's episode, we're talking about the simple yet pivotal mindset shift you can implement BEFORE you buy your new planner or set up your sprint to the finish line for 2024. A mindset shift that'll leave you REGULARLY armed with a sh*tload more time and a whole lotta confidence that you absolutely CAN bring your goals to life. You don't want to miss this one, petal.…

Dear Kat: From Working Long Daycare Hours to School Pickup at 2:40 - How? 44:10

The default thought process when we think about reducing our working hours (especially if you're a service provider, coach or solo business owner) usually looks something like this: less time equals less capacity equals less money . But it doesn't have to be like this. In today’s episode, I'm sharing the seven step process I used with my client Alyssa to show you how you can make the shift to shorter working hours without sacrificing the things that matter most - like your clients, your income, and ultimately, your freedom. Heads up: it’s not about adding more hours to your day or multitasking. I'll walk you through the process I shared with Alyssa, a client who’s transitioning from long daycare hours to a schedule that fits with school pickups. I cover things like: How to evaluate your client portfolio using a ‘value investment’ approach Why batching your work strategically can change the game Mapping your new calendar and making it work for you, not against you Practical tips to minimise distractions and stay focused How to prioritise your energy (mental and physical) so that you have more to give to both your business and your life If you’re contemplating a similar transition - whether it’s adjusting to a new routine, finding more balance, or wanting to cut back on work hours - this episode is for you. Even if you’re not at this stage yet, I’m giving you a sneak peek into the strategies you can use now to build a schedule that gives you more time freedom. You might just surprise yourself with how doable it really is.…

I've had a bit of a business breakthrough recently - and it's not the kind you might be expecting. A few weeks ago, I recognised that I was in a constant repeating cycle of business burnout. I'm talking repeated periods of frenzied work, focus, downward spiral, distraction, exhaustion - aaaand repeat. It wasn't until recently that I realised it was something I was repeating again and again - and the cycles were getting shorter every time. After some fairly hard introverting and crawling under lots of proverbial doona covers, I came to a fairly life changing realisation. It was never what I wanted to do or the thing that was the problem - it was the online business circus. It’s become a f*cking high speed ferris wheel - and I wanna get off. If you’re feeling this and it leaves you questioning whether you’re actually doing what you’re meant to do - this diary-entry of an episode is for you, babe.…

3 Steps to Quickly Release Procrastination Blocks 39:23

Procrastination is your brain literally doing its job. When it comes to taking the action you need to take to bring your goals to life - the problem isn't you. Procrastinating on your goals is your brain reacting to something that feels hard. Procrastination kicks in not because you’re lazy, terrible at what you do or don’t want it badly enough - but because your brain loves COMFORT. In this episode, I break down 3 simple steps to help you sneakily sidle through those procrastination blocks smoother than a Snoop Dogg on a Menulog ad. You can FINALLY stop dragging your feet on those big goals and start taking action. Here's a preview: 1️⃣ Shift Your Mindset: Recognise when you're hitting the wall and figure out if it’s because the goal feels genuinely wrong (hi, it's me, burnout) or just challenging in the best way possible. The difference? One drains you, and one pushes you towards growth. 2️⃣ Map Your Path: Once you know it’s a “good hard,” break it down into small, manageable wins. You don’t need to conquer the whole mountain at once - deliberately focus on LITTLE steps - and build momentum from there. 🏔️ 3️⃣ Create a System: Build your productivity system around triggers that fit your life. F*ck what everyone else is doing. Find what motivates you, track your progress, and reward yourself along the way. These steps can get you outta the non-stop spinning wheel and into finally taking control of that big, dreamy goal you’ve been avoiding. Petals, something BIG is coming soon for you. If you're a time-poor service provider or solo business owner and you're sick of rolling over your to-goals list year after year (after year) 👀 I've accidentally leaked the details here: https://theproductivityproject.com.au/bandwidth 😏…

Can Your Period Really Help You Be More Productive? Spoiler: YES Ever feel like no matter how much you plan, you're constantly out of sync? Like you’re trying to follow someone else’s playbook? Babes, that’s because you probably are. Our entire society—and that includes the way we approach productivity—is built around a 24-hour cycle that works… for men. But if you're a menstruating human, your body runs on a different schedule entirely: a monthly one. In this episode, I’m sharing how syncing your calendar with your menstrual cycle can be an absolute game-changer when it comes to your productivity, creativity, and time. Cue me also spilling the tea on a VIP day disaster that had me dragging for two days straight because I wasn’t aligned with my body’s natural rhythm (spoiler: never schedule a VIP day on the first day of your period). By the end of this episode, you’ll be ditching the hustle harder mentality and leaning into your own cycle to get more done with less burnout. In this week's episode: Why the 24-hour work cycle is basically a productivity myth for women How syncing your work to the four phases of your cycle can supercharge your energy and output The different phases of your cycle and how to use each one to your advantage (including why Day 1 is NOT the time for big meetings, petal) How cycle syncing can create more time, help you feel less drained, and actually allow you to work smarter, not harder. Start syncing your calendar with your cycle, and reclaim this whole productivity game on your terms. Because when you’re working with your body’s natural rhythm, you’re unstoppable babes.

The 7 Daily Habits That Save Me 7 Hours Every Week 38:29

There's a HUGE concept bouncing around in productivity land that I'm absolutely ready to raise an eyebrow at. It's something you probably talk about every single day - without even realising it. Saving time. The productivity industry largely centres around the idea of saving time as the ultimate goal - streamlining and systemising and planning and shredding and multitasking and all the ings that can basically be summarised as trying to squeeze as much action and efficiency out of the minutes of your life as you possibly can so that you can save time . But here's what they DON'T tell you: saving time is impossible . Saving time implies that you're banking all those spare hours and minutes up to use later - squirrelling them away just like your hard earned dollars in the hope that they'll pile up and compound while you're busy doing other things. And one day, you'll be able to spend all that time you've saved, right? Hell , NO. Because time doesn't work that way. Time is spent as you live it. And have you ever noticed the more you spend your time running around like a bat outta hell trying to save time here, there and everywhere - the less you feel like you're actually spending your time the way you want to? So, instead of making the ultimate goal to SAVE TIME - what if you switched that little ditty to prioritise changing how you use your time? In this episode, I'm sharing 7 habits I've implemented that - despite the title - rather than saving me an arbitrary number of hours (to use when? To store where), have significantly increased my capacity to use more of my time how I want to use it. To actually live my goals. By implementing these habits you'll have 7 hours at minimum every single week to use however you bloody well want to.
