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.

I'm a certified Digital Wellness Educator from the Digital Wellness Institute. Did you know you could become one of the first Digitally Well-Certified companies? Reply to find out how!

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.

Reflections, Prioritization, and Planning At the end of each quarter, I do reflections: pull out my Powered Path Playbook pages, look at wins, lessons earned, smartest decisions, and start planning the next quarter. This round happened all over the place. Another round of Playbook Quarterly Reflections with Wendy! Wendy and I've been doing quarterly reflections together for about a decade. This time it was Yemeni coffee at Haraz Coffeehouse. My friend Lilly and I did an abbreviated version...

Deep focus doesn't happen because you decided to concentrate harder. It happens because you set the right conditions. Your environment, your mindset, and your energy level all either support focused work or work against it. Most focus advice stops at removing distractions. That's necessary but not sufficient. Why it matters: Missing even one of the three attention anchors means the other two carry more weight than they should Without intentional conditions, deep work gets replaced by the...

Mountains, karaoke, and the Hope Diamond Last week, Kevin and I joined my parents, siblings, and two nieces in Asheville, North Carolina, one of my favorite cities in the country, for our first family vacation since I was a kid. We hiked Catawba Falls with my mom (which included 535 steep steps), roasted s'mores, sang karaoke (for the record, "Islands in the Stream" and "Blame It on the Rain" are much harder than they sound...), played games, and took a ghost tour. Did you know the Hope...
