We had a productive GoalChat on Productivity. My guests were Chris McKenney, founder and CEO of Mango, publisher of my latest book, 52 Secrets for Goal-Setting and Goal-Getting; Troy Sandidge, founder of Strategy Hackers®; and behavioral epidemiologist and entrepreneur Kate Wolin. The trio all have secrets featured in 52 Secrets.
As the panel discussed, productivity is all about flow and communication. There’s also an emotional tie. Stress impacts it negatively, joy enhances it. The panel talked about what productivity is and isn’t. They also shared their productivity habits, along with anecdotes and examples.
What Makes You Most Productive?
- Kate: Imposter syndrome
- Troy: Being comfortable with pain; you do not get where you want to go without struggle
- Chris: Self-awareness
What Makes You Least Productive?
- Chris: Emotional conflict
- Kate: Meetings
- Troy: Micro-management and negative energy
