🎙️How to Personalise Your Productivity ... and stop working harder
with Louise Miller | The Art of Value Whispering Podcast (episode 308)
There's always something more to do in business.
Another client to support.
Another email to send.
Another idea to explore.
And if you're anything like many of the entrepreneurs I work with, your to-do list probably grows faster than you can tick things off.
But what if productivity isn't about getting more done?
What if it's about making space for what matters most?
In this episode of The Art of Value Whispering Podcast, I'm joined by productivity mentor Louise Miller to explore a refreshingly different approach to productivity.
One that doesn't rely on hustling harder, squeezing more into your day, or trying to become someone you're not.
Louise shares her personal journey from work-related stress and anxiety to developing a gentler, more sustainable way of working, one that helps entrepreneurs focus on what's important, protect their energy, and create more space for the things they love.
This conversation is not about becoming more disciplined.
It's about becoming more intentional.
Understanding what truly matters.
Finding a rhythm that works for you.
And giving yourself permission to build a business that supports your life, rather than consuming it.
Join me in this episode as Louise and I explore why productivity starts long before action, and how a simple pause could be the key to making better decisions, reducing overwhelm, and creating more meaningful progress.
