Listen here:
Host Kathy Vines shares more of her insights in one of her areas of expertise – productivity and time management.
Notes
In this solochat episode of Surfing the Quicksand, host Kathy Vines takes us through her own journey of learning more about productivity as a framework for getting things done, and how it shaped her work with others long before she became a Certified Professional Organizer ® and a Productivity Coach. She shares more about her foundational language she shares with others when she’s supporting their goal of being more productive while still valuing a quality of life.
The episode is perfect for anyone curious about organizing their tasks, finding motivation, or just wanting to rethink how they spend their precious resources of time, money, and energy.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- How “Stuff, Systems, and Habits” isn’t just for our physical world, but also our time and tasks
- Our three currencies in life – Time, Money, and Energy – and how our choices impact each of them
- How Kathy’s love of helping others be more productive while balancing a quality of life will inform many of her guest episodes here on the podcast.
