In a world obsessed with constant productivity, many of us feel pressured to do more and more, often at the expense of our well-being and personal fulfillment. This relentless pursuit can lead us to overlook the deeper, more meaningful aspects of how we spend our time.
This week, I’m thrilled to welcome productivity expert, author, and creator of the TimeCrafting system, Mike Vardy. Mike has spent years helping people shift their focus from traditional productivity to something deeper—what he calls “productiveness.” Through his work, he shows us how to approach time with greater intention, crafting a life that aligns with our values and energy cycles.
In this episode, Mike shares his journey from traditional concepts of productivity to his refined philosophy of time crafting. We explore how theming our days, reflecting on our habits, and embracing constraints can help us cultivate productiveness—a state that balances intention, quality, and flow.
Join us as we dive into the deeper layers of productiveness and learn how to move beyond conventional productivity systems to foster a more intentional, fulfilling way of working and living.
