#125: Productivity for Self-Lovers

Mary Jelkovsky
About this episode

In order to go after our goals and make our dreams come true, we must prioritize stuff that’s important over tasks that feel urgent. Mary will teach you how to use self-love to decipher between urgency and importance.

You will learn...

  • why it’s so hard to motivate yourself
  • the difference between urgency and importance, and why you must prioritize the latter)
  • how to replace FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) with JOMO (Joy of Missing Out)

Remember: accepting that we are finite creatures with infinite possibilities liberates us to do what we really want to. Love yourself enough to choose the important over the urgent.
