Ep. 69: Productivity Confessions

LeadHerShip: Toddlers, Teenagers, and a Team

Today I am getting real with y'all about those seasons when productivity just isn't happening the way we want it to. I shared my own experience this past week of needing to reset after traveling + 3 unexpected snow days for the kids and how it affected my routines, energy, and mindset.

What I want you to remember:

- There's a big difference between being a productive person and trying to be productive every single moment

- We need to understand the difference between needed rest and "the bread of idleness"

- When one habit slips (usually sleep or nutrition for me), it can create a domino effect

- It's so important to recognize when we need a reset and not beat ourselves up about it

Here are the strategies I've learned for resetting:

1. Pay attention to early warning signs:

- Physical symptoms (fatigue, digestive issues)

- Mental fog

- Emotional sensitivity

- Increased mom guilt

2. Focus on the foundation first:

- Start with sleep (nothing works well without this!)

- Get back to basics with nutrition

- Include gentle movement like walking

- Make time for prayer and Bible reading

3. Get perspective from people who know you well

4. Trust God's timing and remember - this is His work, not just yours

Something that's really helped me when I need a complete reset, especially with nutrition, is doing a structured 3-day Reset that helps clear the mental fog and restore my energy. See what that's all about here!

Biblical truth I'm holding onto: "My yoke is easy and my burden is light." When everything feels too heavy, it's usually because I'm striving in my own strength instead of abiding in His. 🤍

Remember mama - productivity isn't about perfection, it's about faithfulness. You're doing better than you feel like you are. ♥️
