Show Notes

Karen and Kel talk about a way to look at productivity that focuses on managing energy, rather than time. Working from Physical Capacity through Emotional Capacity and Cognitive Capacity, and ending at Spiritual Capacity, the pyramid approach is good for managing what feels like infinite demands on finite resources. Although this episode was recorded before the COVID19 outbreak, it speaks to the urgent need right now for academics to manage capacity-overload and always come back to the body.
