What would your day look like if every part of it, from the moment you woke up to the moment you went to sleep, was actually working for you?
Sarah Tetlow is a productivity consultant, trainer, speaker, and author of The Perfectly Productive Day. A repeat guest on the Rainmaking Podcast, Sarah is one of the leading voices in productivity for attorneys and professional services providers, helping law firms reduce stress, increase focus, and grow their business without burning out.
In this episode, Sarah and Scott Love walk through the six components of a perfectly productive day: morning routine, commute, workday, evening routine, bedtime, and sleep, and unpack the science-backed habits that make each one work.
You'll learn:
- What a "perfectly productive day" actually means and why the goal isn't perfection
- The science behind delaying caffeine and drinking water first (and why it helps with the 2 p.m. crash)
- The 5-minute "kitchen workout" that builds self-trust before your day even begins
- How to make your commute driving, transit, or work-from-home transition genuinely productive
- Why doom-scrolling on the train is quietly sabotaging your entire workday
- The "future self" mindset shift that helps you push through procrastination every time
- Sarah's shutdown routine: the 3-step end-of-day reset that sets up tomorrow before it starts
- How the Time Timer eliminates distractions and defeats perfectionism
- Why your morning brain, before you check your phone, already knows what you should prioritize
- 3 action steps to start living a more productive day immediately
Sarah also shares her free book club, free productivity resources, and a new book in the works: The Perfectly Productive Workday, diving deep into distractions, procrastination, and email management.
