Handled(ish): Productivity for the Imperfect

About Handled(ish): Productivity for the Imperfect

Handled(ish): Productivity for the Imperfect is a weekly podcast hosted by Betsy A. Hays, an educator, author and speaker who is a self-proclaimed productivity nerd. It's a practical and humorous look at productivity, how to get things done well, and how to accept that a lot of things will just get "done enough" -- and that's ok. The podcast is both philosophical and practical, and included in each episode are ideas that listeners can immediately use. Because she practices what she "preaches," the podcast is imperfect, like all of us, and hopefully serves as a reminder that the beauty of life is often in its imperfections.

   When was the last time you stopped to notice what’s already working? This week on Handled(ish), we’re taking a break from fixing, tweaking, and adding new habits. I’m sharing a few things going right in my own life -- from small changes to my daily routines to Friday planning and time with family -- and inviting you to make your own “what’s going right” list. Your wins don’t have to look impressive to anyone else. If something is working for you, it counts. Write it down, celebrate it, and re...
