RaderCo - Weekender Snapshot


Happy International Digital Wellness Day!

Today, we practice a pause with technology and reflect on our relationship with it. This year's theme is digital balance. I'm not a fan of the word digital detox and prefer digital downsize instead. Detox suggests we have a sickness and shouldn't use tech—quite the contrary!

How can we downsize our digital footprint and find more balance with analog activities or be more present?

At RaderCo, we swear by Zoom and Email-Free Fridays. At home, we have phone-free Friday nights starting at 6 p.m. Learn more about unplugging to recharge for digital wellness day and beyond.

Last week, our Speakers With Impact Mastermind had our quarterly retreat. My takeaway action was crafting a mini-book from the first month of habits from Work Well. Play More! Perfect for events. Cynthia Barnes, on the far right, had her TEDx talk released this week. If you have a habit of deflecting or downplaying compliments, I highly recommend taking 10 minutes to watch her talk and then take action and say thank you instead! Link to Video

Now, onto a biggie:

My TEDx talk, The Relentless Pursuit of More, is gearing up for launch. I need all you helpers out there to do me a solid and make it a hit! When the video drops, we've only got 72 hours (gulp!) to boost those views. Unfortunately, I won't know in advance so when it hits the interwebs sometime in May, we gotta be ready!

Will you be a helper?

It's an ultra-light lift—all you gotta do is:

  • watch
  • comment
  • share

We'll be throwing a virtual watch party (or two) during that 72-hour window (fun prizes will be in the mix!)

When you get this, I'll be spending a solo Friday at home and completing another section of Beyond The Estate Plan Guide: Important Details Your Family Needs When You Aren't Here to Tell Them.

Then, it's a weekend of mountain biking and chilling at home before jetting off to Portland for a new photoshoot, a speaker's reel, and hanging out with pals.

On with the Weekender!


PRODUCTIVITY QUICK TIP

self-care: why it’s not just on you, but your company too

Do you think it's all up to you to incorporate self-care into your life? I challenge that assumption. Leaders and companies need to look at what can be changed upstream to decrease the need for it rather than providing another meditation app or on-site massage day. One way to eliminate microstressors for your team members is to schedule any emails you send outside their scheduled work hours.

Our Reclaim Your Workday Action Club started off with a bang! Twenty people have committed to changing habits—for themselves, their team, or their whole company. This week covered Chapter One: Focus and Attention…plus a hot seat question that felt painfully relatable: how do you break the habit of switchtasking when you work in a culture that expects you to respond immediately? Club commitments included: Create a virtual office hour on Mon/Wed/Fri Put chat in DND w/ a status message during...

What an incredible time at Annie Franceschi’s Make More Magic retreat at Disney World. Not only did I get to speak on Decide, Design, and Deliver Better With Your Not-Now List, but I also conjured two “pixie-dust pluses” that I'll be gifting to members of the Reclaim Your Workday Action Club (one valued at $99!). If we can’t bring a little magic back in our carry-on, what are we even doing? See Amber's wonderful work and services! Visiting the Magic Kingdom with the Queen of Disney (Annie)...

Mother Nature forgot Raleigh's in the South. We had real snow, and I went five straight days without stepping outside. That meant a lot of comedy watched, a few podcasts recorded, and a couple of books finished. I also chopped my hair off and felt instantly lighter. Long hair isn’t me - too fussy, too much work. Back to my low-maintenance self, and loving it. I spent an evening with the NC State Park Scholars - one of my favorite groups every year - on Breaking Free From Busy. We talked about...
