Health-Powered Productivity

Thanksgiving week was relaxing by going on two hikes, having coffee and reflections with Powered Path Playbooks?, seeing Taylor Swift by Candlelight courtesy of a string quartet, and roasting s'mores around the fire pit with RaderCo Concierge _Lisa Veronica Wood and her husband. I was uber-inspired by the biopic Nyad, and can't stop talking about it. Everyone can benefit from watching this movie, especially if you are over 50!

Black Friday brought its share of smart shopping. I was particularly thrilled with my finds from Better Made Easy, a venture by my friend and fellow B-Corp advocate Christina Marie Noel . Their commitment to quality, sustainability, and employing people with special needs to package and ship the gift boxes meet all of my values. Speaking of discoveries, I took the Hugsi gifting quiz. I discovered my gift language is Experiences, Time, then Autonomy – not surprising, and so on point!

In RaderCo news, our Powered Path Program sale from Black Friday to Cyber Monday was a hit! It's gratifying to see this powerful course make its way to more people, aiding them in their journey of reflection, planning, and prioritizing.

I was also part of a 99-cent book sale with 50 fellow authors. It was thrilling to see the Kindle version of "Work Well. Play More!" being picked up for entire teams and families. Our monthly Ask the Author sessions with the Oklahoma Blood Institute's leadership team were a 2023 highlight, bringing the book's habits to life.

I spoke to 554 accountants through CPAacademy.org about inbox management, sharing some favorite tricks like creating rules or labels (see one of mine below!). I also addressed RTI International on the theme of Everyday Energy, emphasizing the importance of Movement Opportunities – small exercises that significantly impact our energy levels (see our spotlight on Greg Wright below - YOWZA!)

An essential aspect of RaderCo's mission is our commitment to Kiva. This quarter, we're lending to a female business owner inspired by Rea Mae Donato , our Website Specialist from the Philippines. Rea has been a valuable part of our team for eight years and counting...

Productivity Quick Tip - Hacks for Email Management

Feel like your inbox is a firehose of spam, requests, calendar invites, and acknowledgments? Setting your inbox up is essential to see the flowers (your clients and stakeholders) in the weeds. Our latest blog post, co-written by Rijul A. , gives you six email management hacks to extinguish that dumpster fire. One of my favorite hacks is creating a filter for all newsletters and blog posts I want to read to bypass my inbox to a Friday label. I read these all at once on Fridays, so I'm not distracted by them during the week. You can also watch the 3-minute video here.

My book made Melina Palmer 's top 3 books of 2023!

I had a jaw-dropping moment when Work Well. Play More! was named one of Melina Palmer's Top Three Books of the YEAR! Ms. Palmer is an applied behavioral economist who interviews very big names on The Brainy Business podcast. Being interviewed by Melina was already a big professional career highlight, but this? I'm still walking on cloud nine - what a wonderful 'pinch me' moment! Read her review here - https://shepherd.com/bboy/2023/f/melina-palmer
