Ep 385: Creating The Feeling Of Completeness Even When Everything Isn't Done

<p dir="ltr">In Episode 378, I talked about when following through with the plans we’ve made with ourselves can be an act of self-care - particularly when you have anything going on in your life that’s making operating at your normal capacity a challenge.</p> <p dir="ltr">Today’s episode continues that conversation, and I talk about when you determine that productivity is *not* an act of self-care and how you can create a sense of completeness even when everything isn’t done. Tune in to hear what that can look like for you.</p> <p dir="ltr">Sometimes productivity is an act of self-care and sometimes it isn’t. And I found the second was the case for me a couple of days before I took time off from my business.</p> <p dir="ltr">At that time, I had work I really wanted to do but hadn’t finished and I’d need to work more days than I’d planned to get everything done. I walk you through the experience I had solving this, including the questions I asked myself and the breakthroughs I had.</p> <p dir="ltr">By the end of this episode, you’ll learn how you can feel like you can switch off from work (whether that’s the end of a workday or right before a longer break) - even when the plans you had set for yourself weren’t complete.</p> <p dir="ltr">You’ll learn about developing the ability to say when enough is enough, and how to make that decision in an empowering way.</p> <p dir="ltr">Find the full episode transcript and show notes at samlaurabrown.com/episode385.</p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>In This Episode You’ll Learn:</strong></p> <ul> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Making the distinction between putting off and deliberately moving a task</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">The questions I worked through to create a feeling of completeness for myself</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Why creating a feeling of completeness WON’T make you less productive</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="present
