Mountains we’re climbing in this episode:

• Neuroscience-based tips for increasing productivity
• Ways to start cultivating a better work-life balance
• How to reset your emotions and reduce your cortisol
• Overcoming analysis paralysis in starting a business
• How to get into a flow state more often

Key Takeaways for Female Entrepreneurs Growing Their Business:

• The brain loves when tasks are finished. If you leave a task unfinished, the brain is more likely to create stress/panic around those tasks. Neuroscience-based Solution: Break the tasks down into smaller, more achievable tasks and/or write down what you have to finish.
• Letting go of the reins doesn’t always come naturally to women entrepreneurs, but you really do need to put on your own oxygen mask before helping others. Let your employees troubleshoot by themselves before jumping in to help.
• To get into a flow state more often at work, try reducing your work hours by 25% (Hello, 4-day work week!).
• Respect the blocks you put in your calendar(s). Treat them as client calls that you can’t ignore.
• Take time to recharge every day. Bonus points if you use that time to do something you LOVE!

Reflection Question:

• How does this episode make you feel about your potential for productivity and work-life balance?
