SHOW NOTES
Have you ever heard of the Productivity Paradox? If not, I bet you’ve felt it. It’s the idea that trying to always be doing more, with less, is actually leading to burn out and therefore, less productivity. The Productivity Paradox tells us that our society’s obsession with productivity is WRONG. Our brains NEED rest, relaxation, and play time in order to be most effective.
If you’ve ever thought something like “Why can’t I just get through my To-Do list?” or “I’m so exhausted but I’m expected to do so much” this episode is for YOU. We’re going to be diving into where this productivity culture came from, what the latest neuroscience tells us about the benefits of rest, and why it feels so hard to stop checking your email as soon as you wake up in the morning! Tune in to learn all this & get your weekly brain exercise to start re-wiring that primitive Puppy Brain. You got this rockstar!
