Handled(ish): Productivity for the Imperfect

#134 - Fictitious Obligations

Tue, 06 Oct 2026 01:00:00 -0700

Is there something on your list or calendar that you keep telling yourself you have to do?

In this episode, I challenge you to take a look at what I call “fictitious obligations" — the tasks and commitments we assign ourselves because of expectations, habits, or ideas about who we’re supposed to be.

Perhaps you'll decide to let some things go, and get back time, energy, and brain space in the process.

Enjoy 🤍🩵💙🎙️

#133 - What’s Going Right?

Tue, 29 Sep 2026 01:00:00 -0700

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 remember: you’re doing way better than you think you are.

#132 - What's Your Fall Fun Plan?

Tue, 22 Sep 2026 11:00:00 -0700

Autumn is upon us! And before it turns to Winter (and the Holidays!), let's take a minute to decide on and plan some fun! The Fall season provides us opportunities and things that only happen this time of year, so let's figure out now what we want to do, before it gets away from us and we miss out.

#131 - Please don't tell me what I should do

Tue, 15 Sep 2026 01:00:00 -0700

Do you cringe a little when someone tells you that you "should" read this, watch this, meet this person, do this, etc? I don't think you are alone, so it's time to talk about it. This episode talks about what to do when you are told you should, and why if you do that to people, well, you shouldn't.

#130 – Better Together(ish): Getting the Right Kind of Help

Tue, 08 Sep 2026 01:00:00 -0700

Sometimes another person can make a good thing even better—but first, we have to let them.

In this episode, I talk about sharing our ideas, listening to suggestions without immediately becoming defensive, and asking the right people for the right kind of help. We’ll also explore why specific requests work better than “Come help and we’ll figure it out,” how complementary skills can strengthen a project, and why trying to do everything yourself is rarely the best plan.

The right help can elevate your work, lighten your load, and possibly even help you enjoy the experience more. Sound good to me!

#129 - What are you going to do with this fresh start?

Tue, 01 Sep 2026 01:00:00 -0700

It's September 1st! A great "fresh start" opportunity! The podcast doesn't often drop on the first day of the month, so why not take advantage of it and talk about this particular fresh start, and what we are all going to do with it? What have you wanted to start doing or not doing? Let's start today! And, perhaps ponder how. you can pair an identity shift along with it for extra oomph.

Who says we can't all have manifestos? As I finish my new Handledish.com website, I'm thinking about positioning the content as part of a Handled(ish) Movement -- including a Handled(ish) Manifesto. My draft thoughts about this are in this epsiode.

Tue, 04 Aug 2026 12:00:00 -0700

We all have a lot going on, and keeping everything in mind at once is something most of us can't and don't want to do. The solution? Create four master project lists to help you keep a 50,000 foot view of your life, commitments and goals. Start with Work, Personal, Home and "Other" (side hustle, hobby, etc.) and go from there.

I'm talking to you today. Well, ok, I'm talking to me, too. Productivity shaming -- making ourselves feel bad when we aren't as productive as we'd like to be -- is NOT HELPFUL AT ALL. Join the movement. Let's banish it forever!

Tue, 21 Jul 2026 01:00:00 -0700

Why are we always surprised when progress isn't linear? I'm experiencing that this week -- and it's objectively ridiculous. Anything that has a timespan isn't going to go smoothly all the time, and when we expect it, we are a lot less frustrated. Join me in this challenge!

#122 - Ditching All or Nothing Thinking and Working on Vacation

Tue, 14 Jul 2026 12:00:00 -0700

Before you get upset at the title of this week's episode - hear me out! You know I believe in plans and structure and processes and boundaries -- we need all of those to be productive in the way we want to be. However, sometimes we need to toss all of that aside if it means that we don't miss an amazing opportunity. All or nothing thinking is THE WORST, and we need to stop it.

Let's not let tired get in the way of us doing things that we have intentionally decided we want to do and/or will help us accomplish our goals. Yes, well-rested and energized is the preferred vibe, but we can't have that all the time, and we want to keep the promises we make to ourselves.

#120 - Easy Isn't Always the Goal

Tue, 30 Jun 2026 01:00:00 -0700

In our quest for productivity hacks and all the things we do to make our lives easy, we may be missing the point that not everything is supposed to be that way. Yes, let's streamline and make efficient processes for a lot of things, but let's also remember that challenge leads to growth and accomplishment leads to confidence.

#119 - Why Change is Hard

Tue, 23 Jun 2026 01:00:00 -0700

We all know change is hard, but have you thought about why? In this episode I talk about the relationship between change and identity, and how acceptance and experimentation with a light tough can lead to adapting in a way that serves you.

Accept. Experiment. Adapt.

Breaking news! Handled(ish): Productivity for the Imperfect has reached 5,000 audio downloads! Thanks for making that possible!

And this week I talk about the case for taking an actual lunch break. An idea you have heard before, I'm sure, but one that many of us don't do on a regular basis. Let's rethink that this week and recommit to not eating by our screens.

#117: Before You Grab Your Phone, Try This!

Tue, 09 Jun 2026 01:00:00 -0700

In those spaces in between things, our first instinct is often to grab our phones. While there isn't anything overtly "wrong" about that habit, I think we can make our lives happier and more productive if we have a transition time strategy -- one that we use BEFORE we pick up our phones. See if you agree!

When something goes wrong, there are two key things that can help us build resilience -- right in the middle of it! Acceptance and NBC (next best choice), paired with the game of Whack-A-Mole, can give us the framing and confidence to move forward.

Tue, 19 May 2026 08:00:00 -0700

#113: Your Thinking/Doing Ratio Might be Off (and Probably is)

Tue, 12 May 2026 01:00:00 -0700

Feeling like your productivity is a little off? Does it feel like you are playing whack-a-mole and just going from thing to thing to thing? Perhaps your ratios are off -- your thinking/doing ratio. Ideally, we'll spend more time thinking (strategically planning) than doing, and when those ratios are reversed, that's when things aren't at their best. We have do-overs, we do things that we don't need to do, or don't need to do in that way, we forget pieces of things, etc. Let's fix that right now!

We DO NOT have to start things only on Mondays or the 1st of the Month or the 1st of the Year, or whatever silly ideas we have for when we should start things. Consider an imperfect start for a new habit or goal you want to get going on, and get rid of "all or nothing" thinking in the process!

#107: Stuck? Do a Physical Challenge

Tue, 31 Mar 2026 01:00:00 -0700

I walked a 5K every day in March to get me unstuck with rehab and making myself stronger after all of my not-so-fun injury adventures. It gave me confidence, made me stronger, and proved that I can show up for myself. In this episode I share why I think it worked, and why you may want to consider a physical challenge to get you unstuck (from any way you are feeling stuck).

As we approach 2026, let's get more curious. Say these (or similar) phrases as often as you can: "Tell me more" or "Can you give me more info about that?"

#91 - If You Want to Make it Better, You Have to Love it First

Tue, 21 Oct 2025 08:00:00 -0700

Sometimes we humans are funny. We will talk badly about something, pointing out what's wrong, what we don't like, etc. - and then wonder why nothing changes. What if we flipped the script? What if we love the thing? Would that help facilitate positive change? Let's try that in some aspect of our lives this week, and perhaps start with our schedules?

#80 - Have a Frog Day

Tue, 05 Aug 2025 01:00:00 -0700

Batching similar tasks is always a good productivity strategy, but so is batching tasks that you aren't excited about doing. Hence, the idea of having a frog day, or a frog hour, where you chunk a bunch of things together that you aren't looking forward to, and then miraculously, they get done! Calling it a frog day is a more fun way to look at this idea, and if you are an emoji person, you already know that there is a frog emoji which makes it even better. Why call it a frog day? Listen to this episode and/or read Brian Tracy's book, "Eat the Frog . . ." -- or better yet, both!

She shares her go-to strategies for managing time, setting realistic goals, and navigating the chaos of busy seasons—especially as a working mom.

Tue, 24 Jun 2025 00:00:00 -0700

Back in episode 5, I talked about introducing our fantasy selves to our real selves in order to let go of ideas about who we are that aren't even who we really want to be. In this episode, I change my mind (just a tiny bit) on one of those things for me, and talk about why maybe we should revisit some of these ideas as things shift in our lives.

#73 - Wrap Your Arms Around It

Tue, 17 Jun 2025 01:00:00 -0700

Let's fact it, there are times when a project or initiative gets so big or complex that it feels out of control. Often this happens when it's never been done before, or the goal is clear but the strategies continue to evolve. That's when you may want to pause, take a chunk of time, and put your arms around it. I promise you will feel better!

Part 2 of the conversation regarding our tendency (some of us, anyway - including me!) to create excuses for not doing things that are, well, not good excuses. Mixed results from my attempt at the challenge, but I'm not giving up!

#66 - Don't Wait Until the Stars and the Moon Align

Tue, 29 Apr 2025 01:00:00 -0700

Many of us wait to start something important because we are waiting for the timing to be perfect - for the "stars and the moon to align" and all our "ducks are in a row." You've been around long enough to know that rarely happens, so this episode is your nudge to get started if it's important to you. Even when we think the timing is perfect, we are often wrong, so just get rolling - the rest will work itself out.

#65 - The Illusion of Being Caught Up

Tue, 22 Apr 2025 01:00:00 -0700

We talk about this all the time.

- "I can't wait to get caught up."

- "After things slow down, I'll get caught up."

But what does caught up even mean? And is it even possible? In this episode I suggest thinking about this idea differently, which I believe will make us all happier (and more productive).

It's been 6 months since my birthday, so I'm checking on my intentions discussed in EP 37 - my quest, my digital and physical purge, and the idea of keeping some truly unplanned space in my calendar.

#36 - Choose Accuracy Over Speed

Tue, 01 Oct 2024 01:00:00 -0700

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. This applies to so much in life, including going fast. Technology allows us to do things so quickly, but that doesn't mean that speed should be our priority. In this episode I argue that accuracy is more important, including some ideas for amping up our ability to get it right the first time. Enjoy 🤍🩵💙🎙️

#35 - Pause Before Saying YES

Tue, 24 Sep 2024 01:00:00 -0700

Sometimes we regret saying yes too quickly. When this happens we can find ourselves doing or attending things we really don't want to. To combat this, a great strategy is to pause before saying yes if we aren't 100% sure. Give yourself time to listen to your intuition and really assess your schedule before circling back with an answer. The result = less "ugh I said yes but I really didn't want to" moments.
Enjoy 🤍🩵💙🎙️

#34: Inefficiency is Good (Sometimes)

Tue, 17 Sep 2024 01:00:00 -0700

Being productive is awesome, as is being efficient. But, if we are choosing it and it brings us joy, inefficiency can be a good thing. In this episode I share why I disagree with the idea that how you do one thing is how you do everything - and why that's not a good thing anyway. Enjoy 🤍🩵💙🎙️

Traveling is awesome (most of the time). But when we have to pivot, it can throw everything out of whack, including our schedule and our to do list.

#7 - Imperfect Wins!

Tue, 20 Feb 2024 01:00:00 -0800

Many of us suffer from "all or nothing thinking," the idea that if things aren't perfect (professionally, health-wise or in our relationships) we shouldn't keep going. In this episode, Betsy talks about imperfect wins and how they can remind us of the danger of not moving forward when things aren't going as planned (or, to sync with the name of the podcast - are going imperfectly). And, she throws in a San Francisco Giants reference for good measure!
