Positively Living®: Shame-Free Productivity Conversations

How to Make Productivity Feel Good Again

Lisa Zawrotny Episode 280

Text your thoughts and questions!

Have you ever had a day where you checked everything off of your to-do list but still felt unfulfilled? It’s a common conundrum (and a major source of frustration and burnout) to feel busy but not truly productive. This week on the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast, I’m diving head first into this issue. I reveal two types of productivity that, when they are both honored, can transform how you approach your work and life.

In this episode of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast, I’m exploring the two types of productivity: functional and emotional, encouraging you to challenge the traditional, functional-first approach to productivity and give you actionable steps you can take right now to integrate emotional productivity to make you feel like you’re truly living… beyond the to-do list.

I cover the following topics:

  • The difference between functional and emotional productivity. 
  • Why we as a culture undervalue and dismiss emotional productivity. 
  • Using emotional productivity as a powerful strategy for preventing burnout. 
  • Practical steps and simple habits to build emotional productivity. 


Let this be a reminder that productivity isn’t just about what you do but about how you feel while you’re doing it. When you honor both your functional and emotional productivity needs, you create a life that has both momentum and meaning.
