Unfrazzle

Whether you’re rushing around trying to get everything done, heading into hibernation-mode, getting ready for fun festive frolics or readying yourself for travel, the mantra I share in this episode of Unfrazzle is for you. 

Feeling frazzled with the festive season fast approaching and a million things still to do? I’ve got you!
Instead of trying to do all the things, how about taking a pause to make some choices about what gets your time and energy and what can wait? This week I share three different approaches that will help you find a little more ease so you can actually enjoy the run-up to Christmas.

If you’ve heard me talk about Make It Happen Club and you’re wondering what it’s all about, this episode is for you.

When it comes to being more productive, everyone seems to have an opinion. Whether it’s telling you to put everything in your calendar, use a fancy spreadsheet to break your projects down into tasks, or find an accountability buddy to check in with at the start and end of every day, once someone finds what works for them they often start telling everyone to do what they do. But ‘standard’ productivity advice doesn’t work for everyone, and in today’s episode of Unfrazzle I explain why that is, and what you can do instead.

Do you find yourself abandoning projects part way through, to focus on something else? And do you tell yourself there’s a Very Good Reason why this new project is more important than the old one?
