Listen "Ep 261 The Productivity Trap"
Episode Synopsis
Productivity, Productivity, Productivity - the word is being thrown around by the broligarchs who are pushing the hustle-grind with unreasonable deadlines, back to back meetings and a way to put human needs at the backburner. I talk about how brobsession with efficiency over effectiveness leads to toxic productivity, undermining our well-being and ignoring their duty of care towards their teams. But efficiency has never been as powerful as effectiveness, and then these latest diktats … and you'll find me having a laugh but the matter is serious nonetheless. I highlight why toxic productivity compromises our wellbeing and forcing us to participate in a work culture that's helping no one. Then there are 'influencers generously sharing their way' but what's the real cost of falling for that? We need to redefine success to include genuine contributions and impact over mere activity, and create inclusive workplaces where everyone thrives. *** Key Points *** Balancing efficiency with effectiveness. Prioritise genuine contribution over busyness. Advocate for our wellbeing. *** Resources *** Visit https://hub.flourishingintroverts.com/resourcesp for tools and resources mentioned during the podcast.
