Would love to hear your experience

@Vicky Salisbury @Tia ColemanCarr @Donna Bjurlin @Simon Sharpe @Dorothea Habtamu @Mary Christou @Joan Jones @Linda Hernandez @Mads Munk @Heather Jensen you all mentioned task initiation, motivation, procrastination, or feeling overwhelmed by everything on your plate. We covered this during the Q&A so here's the breakdown. The main message: most productivity advice is way too simplistic. A new Notion dashboard or switching to a different app is not going to fix it. That's putting a bandaid on a broken system. The Harmony Productivity System works in layers, and skipping layers is why most approaches fail. Also see the attached image for reference. Layer 1: Regulation first. You can have the best system in the world, but if you sleep badly, you won't be productive. Period. The first domino is always: optimize sleep, add some movement (releases dopamine naturally), improve nutrition. Without a regulated nervous system, nothing else works. This is why so many of you feel like you "can't start." Your brain literally doesn't have the fuel. Layer 2: Purpose & Alignment. Once regulation is handled, figure out what actually lights you up. You don't need your full life purpose right now. Just arrange things so what you do is at least somewhat aligned with who you are. @Heather Jensen this is your situation. If your current job drains you, that's okay, but have a plan for what you're working toward. Knowing the "why" behind the grind makes the grind bearable. Layer 3: Two Big Rocks. Don't set 10 goals. Pick two. Mine are my health and my business. Everything else follows from keeping those two on track. @Mary Christou , this is the answer to "what should I focus on?" Fewer priorities means more follow-through. Pick two, let everything else be secondary.

It'sno surpirse here, but I do lots of Body Doubling, today was a bit different at 4 am NZ time - not my norm - but thought hey - I shall join the wider team. While doing the session - I decided to use one of the many tools (inside AI Harmony) - to help get 𝗨𝗡𝗦𝗧𝗨𝗖𝗞. I Just did a 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲 on a thought that's kept a "little nugget" of an idea festering in my notebook: "Who am I, an untrained facilitator coach, to offer anything?" Turns out I can't absolutely know that's true - I haven't even tabled the idea with anyone yet. What I rediscovered: I've got psychology qualifications, years of facilitation, and proven workshop skills. The Coaching Certification is one I demanded of myself, the develoment of the materials for the "newer modern world" of Digital Instructional Design is the missing piece - BUT it is just a skill I haven't mastered yet - and I don't have to do it all alone. 40 minutes of focussed time, that has helped me 𝗗𝗶𝗳𝗳𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗺𝘆 𝗻𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁, uncover the 𝗧𝗥𝗨𝗧𝗛, Consider the 𝗖𝗢𝗦𝗧 of not doing it, (not necessarily $$$s but Regret and a Self Verdict of "another bloody crazy idea, in the notebook", helped me consider some 𝗧𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 and gived me a 𝗕𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆. Now the job - is to get on with it, and get the work scheduled into other Body Double sessions.

Today I read my Ikigai. I was so happy with the clarity I hadn't seen for years, that I had been searching for for years, and today it was right in front of me. I am very grateful to our brother Jim Ebbelaar.

just wondering. after a post I just read here, would it be worth compiling a softer book list that we all have found helpful in supporting our neurodiverse brains? I have bought many books ( a friend of mine says she can retrace parts of my life with whole sections of them). Knowing what I know now, many would have not walked out of teh shop with me or made it into my Amazon basket. what do you think guys (includes ladies, need to find a better term, oh I know, Pips?)
