Feeling Overwhelmed? It's Time to Reclaim Your Time and Impact as a Nonprofit Leader

I recently celebrated my birthday, which also marks my personal New Year – a time for reflection and new beginnings. After making quite a few pivots over the last few months, I'm excited to reintroduce myself and share the exciting changes coming to The Productivity Prompt and my personal profile content.

I'm Trasetta Washington, and I've walked in your shoes. The endless to-do lists, the constant firefighting, the nagging feeling of not doing enough... it's exhausting, isn't it?

Over 30 years ago, I began my productivity journey, focused on maximizing output without prioritizing well-being. I got caught up in the hustle culture and became known for my ability to juggle multiple projects. In 2016, I started a blog sharing my strategies and tools, and by 2017, I began coaching others on productivity while working full-time as an Assistant Director of Outreach.

But in October 2020, I found myself on a Jamaican beach, attending a women's entrepreneur conference, completely burned out. My world had crumbled – speaking engagements canceled due to COVID-19, my church closing, and my marriage ending. The uncertainty of the pandemic, social unrest, and personal transitions triggered panic attacks. Standing on that beach, I didn't know who I was, what I wanted, or how I'd gotten there. But I made a promise to myself: I would figure it out.

That moment catalyzed my shift towards helping leaders like you achieve productivity through overall well-being, prioritizing self-care over external success. I've witnessed the toll of burnout and overwhelm, but also the incredible transformations that occur when leaders prioritize their well-being, streamline their workflows, and reignite their passion.

That's why I'm thrilled to share the changes coming to The Productivity Prompt. We've transitioned from weekly articles to monthly deep dives addressing the unique challenges faced by nonprofit leaders. We'll explore everything from overcoming imposter syndrome to building a culture of well-being within your organization.
