• What You Do When the List is Complete | The No Bullsh*t Guide to a Happier Life
    Jul 30 2024

    Welcome to episode 84. This episode is all about what you do when the list is complete. Firstly, it’s important to remember that the list is never really done – there will always be plans and projects, that’s just life… but when you've tackled your tasks for this day, what will you do with you time? How we use this precious window is up to us as individuals, but the key to maximising it should always start with us tuning in on our needs for this moment. Let’s dive in!

    In this episode:

    · Nurturing your energy – the importance of listening to what you need, be it rest or adventure, your body keeps the score.

    · Embrace free time and find joy in the moment – learn how to actively fill your metaphorical "treasure chest" with meaningful experiences.

    · Rewarding yourself – you’ve done the difficult stuff, so make sure you celebrate and acknowledge your achievements!

  • Do I Need an App? | The No Bullsh*t Guide to a Happier Life
    Jul 16 2024

    Welcome to episode 83. Do I need an app? We’re served a constant stream of ads for tools and apps, all promising to streamline, automate and organise our busy lives. It’s very seductive. But the truth for a lot of us is that a new app isn’t the answer to an easier life. In fact, pinning your hopes on an organisational tool may end up making you feel more stressed! In this episode I explain why it’s the overwhelm that needs addressing first, and once you’ve done that, how to find the right tool that works for you as an individual. Let’s dive in!

    In this episode:

    · Productivity apps aren’t for everyone, and that’s ok – it doesn’t mean you’re any less organised!

    · Why reducing your feelings of overwhelm should be the priority before you consider any app.

    · Trial and error – find an app that mirrors your brain, and remember – stopping and switching to a different one doesn’t mean you’ve failed.

  • The Creative Brain | The No Bullsh*t Guide to a Happier Life
    Jun 4 2024

    Welcome to episode 80. In this episode we’re exploring the concept of the "creative brain". Whether that’s ADHD, autism or any other neurodiversity, it’s time for us to put the productivity rulebook in the bin, and instead build the confidence to tune in to our unique flow of energy. Let’s challenge societal norms and nurture a deeper understanding and appreciation of ourselves. Whether you have a diagnosed condition or simply identify with traits of the creative brain, this episode offers valuable wisdom and encouragement for all. Let’s dive in!

    In this episode:

    · You are not broken! How understanding and accepting your brain type can empower you to work with your natural tendencies rather than against them.

    · Managing stress and deadlines – if you’re a last-minute Lucy, don’t try to change. Prepare for the event instead so you don’t burn yourself out.

    · Flipping the reward – rewards are crucial to getting shit done. Give yourself the treat first and ride off the dopamine. Remember, there are no rules!
