RaderCo - Weekender Snapshot
Happy New Year!We're back in business after two weeks off from email and meetings. Before we left, my mind was blown at the Certified Speaking Professional® Summit. After a 2.5-day mastermind, I came home with the project of writing another book aimed at helping companies move away from an always-on culture. I'll start working on it in Q2 after TEDxNCSU. While the summit was intense, we also had some fun. Speaking of books...I was delighted to see my book mentioned by the Better Gift Coach as a way to find time-saving methods for project work. I always look forward to end-of-the-year reflection dates with my husband, two business peers, and RaderCo Concierge Lisa. I also got vulnerable, shared them with our Powered Path members, and gave a sneak peek into our priorities and some changes for this year. One update is a quarterly Voxer Day to Ask Me Anything as a membership perk!
I am honored to be part of the National Small Business Association Leadership Council on the Health and Human Resources Committee! The NSBA is the nation's oldest small-business non-partisan advocacy organization. I'll be working with them to promote the interests of small businesses to our elected representatives. I recently presented to the super hospitable National Speaker Association St. Louis chapter on Super Sexy Speaker Systems and the National Association of Women Business Owners in Charlotte on how to put out the dumpster fire, otherwise known as their inbox. Lastly, we're changing our packages and pricing for all team training starting February 1. Any agreements signed by January 31 get the current rates, so if you've been on the fence and are ready to extinguish email, make meetings matter, or remove distractions, sign up for a Connection Call: https://raderco.as.me/speaker.

Notifications aren't on to help you be more productive. They're on to get you to use that tool more. Every alert triggers a dopamine response, your brain starts to like it, and so you leave them all on because that's the default. The default is not a strategy. Why it matters: Every notification, even ignored ones, is a microdecision that contributes to decision fatigue Being reactive feels like responsiveness. It isn't. Your clients and your team feel the difference. Badges, alerts, and...
What a Design Day actually looks like... Last week, I spent three days in a dome house in the mountains of Burnsville, North Carolina, with my friend Wendy. I call this Design Days: No email, no meetings, just heads-down focus on one project. She was working on a keynote. I worked on my new book, The Right Things First: A Pocket Guide to Relentless Prioritization. It will literally fit in your pocket. It's with three beta readers right now, and I'll be launching it later this summer. More to...
Every ring, ping, buzz, and haptic triggers the involuntary part of your brain. The same part wired to respond to sirens and babies crying. Your brain hasn't figured out in 30 years that a Slack or Teams message isn't a survival threat. And even when you think you're ignoring it, you're not. You're making a micro decision Every. Single. Time. Why it matters: 150 emails and chat messages a day add up to 150 microdecisions before you've touched your actual work Decision fatigue follows you home...
