Strategies for Productivity and Creativity {podcast}

The Importance of Productivity and Creativity for the Creative Entrepreneur

In today’s fast-paced world, balancing productivity and creativity can feel like a never-ending challenge. That’s why I brought Rachel Soper Sanders, CEO of Rootine, onto the podcast to dive deep into some incredible strategies for optimizing both.

In this episode, we explore how understanding and managing your overall health can dramatically enhance productivity and creativity. By focusing on key factors like cortisol levels, sleep, and nutrition, Rachel offers actionable insights on how to keep your body and mind firing on all cylinders.

How Hormones Contribute

One of the major takeaways from our conversation was the significant impact of cortisol on productivity and creativity. As Rachel explained, cortisol is the stress hormone that, when imbalanced, can wreak havoc on your ability to think clearly and stay focused. Through her company’s lab testing and functional drink mixes, she’s helping busy women like us regain balance, manage stress, and get back to their most productive selves.

We also talked about how certain adaptogens in these mixes, like ashwagandha and rhodiola, work wonders for stress management and focus. This blend of science-backed tips and holistic wellness is perfect for any creative entrepreneur looking to elevate their game.

Small Changes = Big Impact

But it’s not just about supplements—Rachel emphasized how small changes in routine can lead to big results in both productivity and creativity. For example, adjusting your diet to include more protein, cutting back on sugar, and even rethinking when you exercise can have a profound impact on your mental clarity. She also shared some useful tips on sleep hygiene, such as putting your phone away well before bed, something many of us (myself included) struggle with!

Perhaps the most powerful part of our conversation was the discussion on the connection between health and creativity. As creative entrepreneurs, we often neglect our bodies while trying to get everything done. Rachel’s story is a great reminder that when you take care of your health, your creativity and productivity naturally follow.
