I’ve been getting the questions “How do you work so quickly?” and “How do you get so much done?” pretty much my whole adult life, maybe even since middle school, which has to say as much about our productivity-obsessed culture as it does me.
To be honest, I miss the times when I had only 2 hours a day to work. I was much more focused and already knew what to do, when it was time to sit down and work for a 40-minute-chunk of time. Now both my sons are in preschool and I have too much time to be productive;).
I have always been a fast worker... Manifesting Generator here... so I can relate a lot... I think Motherhood has made me even more hyper-productive! I like to get clear on my focus points the night before so I don’t waste any extra time figuring stuff out.. and I do most little admin tasks in the small snippets of time I get outside of my dedicated creative time. That way I don’t feel frustrated that I’m ‘losing’ the time to write/design/create. Loved reading this, thank you! X
Wow. I love this all so much. I am hyper productive by nature and can get a lot done in a short amount of time so I can relate wholeheartedly with what you’ve written here. I do struggle with making decisions though so I guess that’s my first step in honoring my time in a more intentional way. I also loved the tip about knowing what you’re going to work on next. So important! Thank you for this.
Thanks for sharing Jessy! I feel like those of us who get things done quickly are sometimes judged as being rash or careless but sometimes we’re just good at what we do!

I know that feeling too! Sometimes when I get an open block of time, it’s paralyzing. There are way too many things I could do!
My point exactly!
Love it, Heidi!!

Focus points help so much! I don’t want to waste any time agonizing about how to spend my precious time!

This is so helpful! Thank you!
I’m so glad! Let me know if you do something different the next time you have two hours. I’m deep in it with you!
I’m so glad to hear that! Thanks for being here. 💛
