Burnout. Ubiquitous technology. New rules for remote work. These forces are reshaping our jobs—and in many cases, breaking them. The old model of productivity, born during the Industrial Revolution, doesn’t fit the realities of knowledge work today.

In this episode of Hello Monday, Jessi Hempel talks with Natalie Nixon, creativity strategist and author of Move. Think. Rest., about why it’s time to reinvent productivity and how her framework can help us do it. Natalie calls it the MTR Framework: Move, Think, Rest. It’s not about doing more. It’s about cultivating creativity as a strategic advantage, for individuals and organizations alike.

Jessi and Natalie explore:



How burnout, technology, and remote work are disrupting traditional productivity




How the MTR Framework helps us reimagine work around creativity and flexibility




What “movement hygiene” is and why small shifts matter more than big ones




The importance of daydreaming




Why rest goes beyond sleep and includes micro-breaks, sabbaticals, and recovery




Practical ways to redesign meetings to spark creativity and democratize ideas




Why creativity is now one of the most essential skills for the future of work




If you’ve been feeling drained by endless meetings and productivity hacks that don’t deliver, this episode offers another path forward.
