The Secret to Getting More Done and Being More Productive (It's not what you think)

What if everything you've been told about productivity is backwards? What if the secret to achieving your goals isn't more discipline, but more joy?
In this episode, I share the story of my most reluctant client who finally agreed to choose the "fun bucket" - and accidentally became more productive than she'd ever been. You'll discover why white-knuckling your way through goals leads to burnout, and how prioritizing fun creates lasting change instead of temporary fixes.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- Why every client avoided the "fun bucket" (and why you probably would too)
- The real reason discipline-based approaches fail long-term
- How I stopped needing a donut as my only source of joy
- Why fun and hard work aren't mutually exclusive - they're partners
- The restrict-binge cycle that happens with joy (and how to find balance)
- How to rewire your brain to see fun as fuel, not reward
This isn't about being less serious about your goals - it's about being more strategic. When you fuel up with joy instead of discipline, everything else becomes easier.
Ready to try the fun bucket approach? Get daily love letters all September long that remind you fun is the most efficient fuel you can put in your tank. These aren't another thing for your to-do list - they're daily permission slips to prioritize what makes everything else easier.
