WHAT IS GENTLE PRODUCTIVITY?

Ever considered that the reason you feel so stressed and time-poor is because you take on way too many things at once?

Instead, let’s look at 5 Stages of Gentle Productivity and how they can apply to your life.

✯Stage 1: Overwhelm

This is that stage so many people are familiar with- you never have enough time to do all of the things you want/ you have a never-ending to-do list/ you feel overworked all the time and pulled in several directions.

✯✯Stage 2: Observation

Those familiar with my habit-building tips would recall this one. A crucial part of getting past overwhelm is first learning to observe it. Each time you feel overwhelmed, take a deep breath and observe the situation. No judgment and no fixing. You are just learning to observe the feeling.

✯✯✯Stage 3: Awareness

After a few days/weeks of consistent observation, your awareness of the challenge becomes more automatic and refined. You start looking at triggers that cause overwhelm and begin to understand why you feel the way you do.

✯✯✯✯Stage 4: Action

You are now ready to take gentle action to shift things in your life. Your observation and awareness have led to this phase, where you’ve stopped judging a situation and instead work on alternative methods to view the challenge.

✯✯✯✯✯Stage 5: Being

Consistent action leads to the highest state of gentle productivity – Being. When you reach this stage, you are now naturally listening to the rhythms in your day/week and embracing the idea of energy management. You can see the triggers before they manifest, you can avoid the time traps before they occur.

These stages are not linear and there will be times when you find yourself at different stages, even if you reach stage 5 at some point.

The key is to gently nudge yourself forward and back on to the path of gentleness. Before you know it, you will no longer be chasing productivity.

🙂You will become a person who is consciously productive.

WHY AM I OFFERING THIS SERVICE?

After a few years of talking about productivity, I decided to take things one step further.

Back in June, I started offering coaching sessions for Gentle Productivity. And as always, my wonderful connections chose to trust me with this process and signed up for my sessions.

During our hour-long session together, we chalked out a customized plan that included:

✨Making time work in their favour

✨Focusing only on what matters

✨Doing things with love and intention, instead of keeping one eye on the clock

In most cases, clients rarely need more than a single session, because I give you the tools to understand productivity from a space of mindful abundance and affluence.
