Are you actually productive…or just busy all the time?In this episode, speaker, coach and author Donna McGeorge flips the usual productivity conversation on its head. Instead of asking how to fit more in, she asks a harder question - What can you remove?We talk about the constant low-level burnout most of us live with, the addiction to saying yes, and how often we sacrifice our future self just to avoid discomfort right now. Donna breaks down her idea of Red Brick Thinking - a way of strategically removing emotional, cultural and structural “bricks” so you can reclaim time, energy and attention.If you feel like you’re always on and are still falling behind, this conversation will help you breathe, simplify, and start making decisions your future self will thank you for.Timestamps:(00:00) Trailer(00:33) Introduction&nbsp;(01:01) Meet Donna McGeorge(01:44) Rethinking Productivity(02:58) Balancing Workload & Personal Well-being(10:31) The Impact of Technology on Our Lives(13:34) The Value of Downtime & Boredom(17:52) Reevaluating Ambition & Success(28:09) The Importance of Small, Consistent Steps(29:42) The Power of Incremental Improvement(30:41) Being Present in a Distracted World(36:46) Financial Struggles & Simplifying Life(38:30) The Joy of Subtraction (Red Brick Thinking)(47:37) Reflections & Personal Insights(50:51) Closing Thoughts & Final QuestionsAccess FREE Move Your Mind training here:<a href="https://go.moveyourmind.io/training" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://go.moveyourmind.io/training</a>Connect with Nick:Instagram:<a href="https://instagram.com/nickbracks" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://instagram.com/nickbracks</a>Website: <a href="http://nickbracks.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://nickbracks.com</a>Email: contact@nickbracks.comConnect with Donna:Website: <a href="https://donnamcgeorge.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://donnamcgeorge.com/</a><hr> Hosted on Acast.
