Wellbeing-driven productivity includes learning to switch off from work.

Here are 20 methods that work for me.

💭 Why not try one this evening or weekend?

A thread 👇

1. Remove work emails from your personal mobile device (hopefully, this one is self-explanatory).

2. Get lost in a TV series or box set (if you are looking for something funny and wholesome I loved Schitt's Creek).

My personal experience of burnout led me to discover the concept of wellbeing-driven productivity.

A thread👇

Burnout tends to affect people in 'helping' professions, for example, those working in healthcare and education.

While burnout symptoms are different for everyone, mine were physical, emotional and mental exhaustion and increased (read: off-the-scale) anxiety.

It sounds grim. It was.

Something positive came out of what happened to me, though.

I got my control back by discovering wellbeing-driven productivity.

Productivity needs a rethink - we're doing it all wrong.

It's time to start talking about wellbeing-driven productivity.

Want to know more?

A thread👇

Workaholism and hustle culture are now known to promote unsustainable, burnout-inducing work practices.

Productivity, on the other hand, is a positive concept... that is until it becomes toxic ☠️

Toxic productivity is an obsession with being productive all the time.

While it sounds like workaholism and hustle culture, it's far worse as it creeps into every aspect of life.

Toxic productivity is the fastest route to burnout.

There are books, articles, podcasts, courses and videos out there with the potential to change your life. The problem is, there's just too much.

To learn from the content you consume, I recommend you design your own personal knowledge management (PKM) system.

Here's how 🧵👇

Before you start designing your PKM system, think about WHY you consume certain types of content.

3 main reasons are likely:

• Entertainment (dog videos on TikTok)
• Information (news)
• Learning (books, courses etc).

Your PKM system is mainly for learning.

@excalidraw

Start designing your PKM system using sticky notes as you can allocate an item per note and move them around quickly.

Once you are happy with the process, draw it as a flow diagram using a free tool like @excalidraw ✏️

Try this process👇

Productivity needs a rethink.

Workaholism and hustle culture have been publicly condemned for promoting unsustainable, burnout-inducing work practices.

Productivity, on the other hand, is still considered a positive concept.

Until productivity becomes toxic.

A manifesto👇

Toxic productivity is an obsession with being productive all the time.

While it sounds a bit like workaholism and hustle culture, in many ways, it’s worse as it creeps into every aspect of life, making it the fastest route to burnout.

I love productivity tools and strategies as much as the next productivity nerd.

I get a buzz out of saving time.

But what makes my approach different is I used that saved time to prioritise my wellbeing.

In fact, I go further - I prioritise my wellbeing before I do anything.

🔋 Energy accounting is an essential part of my wellbeing-driven productivity toolkit.

If you are you are feeling exhausted right now, this thread is for you 👇

💭 The idea behind energy accounting is that you work out which activities drain and restore your energy.

📝 Make a list and assign each activity a number of points (e.g. out of 100) to represent how much they restore (+) or drain (-) your energy.

For example, I find large social gatherings drain my energy, so they might score -50.

However, 20 minutes lying in my hammock reading my Kindle helps restore my energy so that activity could be +50.
