“I call Sarah my unlocksmith, because she is unlocking a lot for me and the unhelpful stories I have been telling myself…just being able to realise that not being creative effects my feelings of self worth has really turned me around”.
Glad you focused on principles more than productivity hacks.
There are so many different systems and they probably all work as equally well for different people. I’ve tried a lot of them but in the end life changes and I threw a lot out the window. I prefer to focus on principles because their applications is more flexible and it’s easier to adapt their execution in a moving world!
I love the idea of working in alignment with your principles rather than just being productive for the sake of it. Speaking as someone who can waste countless hours on another productivity tool - and then look back and wonder why I haven't actually achieved anything

Yep, got to find your own path
Yes, and great to use systems developed by others as inspiration!
Nice tips, Sarah. Especially the one of not focussing on what others are doing!
Absolutely! There’s very little to learn there!
lol!

Exactly that! Also we can do productivity procrastination which is just the worst!!
