🌟 The most productive thing you can do today might be... nothing at all. In our "always-on" culture, we've forgotten a crucial truth: Rest isn't the enemy of productivity—it's the foundation of it. Three insights that transformed my approach to time management: 1. The 90/10 Rule Schedule only 90% of your time. That remaining 10% buffer? It's not wasted—it's where creativity thrives and problems get solved. 2. Rest is Active Your brain processes information, consolidates memories, and tackles complex problems during downtime. Those "aha moments" rarely come while staring at spreadsheets. 3. Quality > Quantity Two hours of focused work beats four hours of scattered attention. Period. What's working for me: • No-screen time before bed • One "white space" day monthly • 5-minute breaks between tasks 🎯 The ROI is clear: Better decisions. Sharper thinking. Lower stress. Higher quality work. Challenge: Block 30 minutes tomorrow for intentional "nothing time." No phone. No distractions. Just you and your thoughts. What emerges might surprise you. #Productivity #MentalHealth #Leadership #TimeManagement #WellnessAtWork

There’s something deeply uncomfortable about feeling out of control –daily life in HE can be frenetic, demanding and relentless. And so it’s easy to feel that the demands of the job are controlling your day. And they will, if you let them. I know – I’ve been there and felt the resulting discomfort and self-recrimination. Rationally you know it’s about setting clear boundaries, ruthless prioritisation and learning to say no (judiciously!). But you don’t have time to think about that because your day has already started!   Time management tips, productivity hacks - they’re all very well - but they are languishing in a curled up post-it note in the cupboard and never seem to translate into reality. Becoming at ease with your finite time and energy is the first step to feeling more in control. It enables you to be purposeful about what you choose to pay attention to and what you intentionally discount. And holding that position takes practice and patience. And that’s why I work with leaders in HE to help them to feel more in control, so they can survive and thrive in the wonderful and volatile world of HE. #LeadershipAndManagement #RegainControl #OliverBurkeman

Let’s take a moment to reflect on whether constant work equals true progress. Here are 5 questions that might make you rethink your approach to productivity: 1️⃣ 𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝗱𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗿 𝗱𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀? Being busy isn’t always the same as being effective. 💡 𝗧𝗶𝗽: Prioritize tasks that align with your goals, not just your to-do list.

Multitasking often feels productive, but it divides your attention. 💡 𝗧𝗶𝗽: Practice single-tasking. Focus on one task at a time, complete it well, then move to the next. You’ll be surprised by the quality of work and how much faster it goes. 3️⃣ 𝗜𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗴𝗼𝗮𝗹𝘀? More hours don’t always equal more results.

Are you checking off tasks just to feel accomplished, or are you truly making an impact? 💡 𝗧𝗶𝗽: Measure success by outcomes, not effort. Focus on the results you’re delivering, not just how busy you’ve been. 🔑 Being always on doesn’t mean you’re making progress. True productivity is about being intentional, focused, and mindful of where your time and energy are going. 🌱 How do you manage your time and avoid the trap of “always working”?

Being busy is NOT the same as being productive. Packed schedules and endless tasks mean you are doing more- not necessarily achieving more.    Productivity is about effectiveness, not busyness. It is about making meaningful progress on what matters MOST.    Here’s how you can shift from being busy to being productive: → Prioritize outcomes over activities. Focus on tasks that bring measurable results instead of simply filling your day with things to do. → Learn to say no. Being selective about where you invest your time ensures you’re not spreading yourself too thin. → Use tools and systems that simplify. Automation, delegation, and planning can free up your time for higher-value work. → Take breaks to recharge. Burnout doesn’t equal productivity. Resting your mind is essential for clarity and focus. → Evaluate daily progress, not just effort. At the end of the day, ask yourself: Did I move closer to my goals? Remember- the goal isn’t to do more but to do what's impactful. #highachieverscoach #productivity
