“Productivity is personal,” says time management and productivity coach, Chelsey Newmyer. In this episode with host Ben Easter, Chelsey encourages listeners to explore what productivity techniques actually align with their personal preferences. She outlines the importance of setting short-term and long-term goals, brain-dumping granular tasks to build a roadmap to bigger goals, and the duo answers mailbag questions from listeners. Chelsea shares her favorite practical “hacks” for productivity and workflow optimization including using focus tools on your mobile device to eliminate distractions, instituting work rituals to activate your personal “work mode” and encourages listeners to implement CEO days so you have time to work “on” your business, rather than “in” your business.  The goal of personal productivity work is to wake up knowing exactly what you have to do and that you're going to end your day feeling accomplished.Quotes“I define productivity as working on the right thing at the right time to help you reach your goal.” (5:16 - 5:20 | Chelsea)"How do we …have a relationship with our productivity that is resourceful for ourselves so that …we are not grinding through our days, but that we feel like we feel resourceful and happy and productive?" (12:58 - 13:16 | Ben)"Don't just do a routine or don't just follow a structure because you think everybody else is going to do it.” (15:14 - 15:20 | Chelsea)"The best tools for productivity are the ones that work best for you. Stick with what you're comfortable with (e.g. paper and pen or digital tools)." (15:22 - 15:26 | Chelsea)LinksMore About Chelsey:Chelsey Newmyer is a nerd for all things time management and productivity.
