The Productive Woman goes international! Priscille Livenais–a French businesswoman and productivity blogger–and I had a great conversation about the challenges of business travel, the value and limits of self-sacrifice, and so much more.
How to Stay Productive When Traveling . . . and When Self-Sacrifice Should Give Way to Self Care
Productivity challenges are universal and international! Priscille and I talk about how she manages her busy life, and delve into a discussion of the challenge of finding a place for yourself in your own life in a culture that has always encouraged women to put others first. Self-care is not selfish!
Don’t miss the Priscille’s great productivity tips, and her wise thoughts on finding the balance between giving to others and taking care of yourself.
Rien ne sert de courir; il faut partir à point”
