Hello, my lovely listeners. It is Jasmine and I’ve got a short but very important update for you today. First of all, wow, we have reached 25 full episodes of this podcast and just past the six month mark. We started as a place for sharing productivity tips and hacks, and that has grown into something much deeper, and I just want to take a moment to say thank you. Whether you’ve been here from day one or just discovered the show, I am so grateful to have you listening, and here is a stat that absolutely blows my mind. Since launching, this podcast has had almost three and a half thousand downloads, reaching listeners in 385 cities across 49 countries. How amazing is that? To think that this little podcast that began in my mind and has been recorded in my home office in Silsdon, west Yorkshire, has travelled so far. It means the world to me.

When I first launched this podcast, I was diving into quick, actionable tools to help you feel more in control of your time and energy, but over time, something started to shift and I realised I didn’t just want to talk about getting more done. I wanted to explore how we can work in a way that feels aligned, fulfilling and sustainable, and that’s how we landed where we are now with productivity, with zest getting the stuff done, but with that added extra of joy and the zest for life. This first season has been full of powerful subjects and honest reflections, and some of the most downloaded episodes have been episode one the dream versus reality navigating running a business as a mum I think this one really struck a chord with so many of you juggling multiple roles. And episode five procrastination unpacked. Why are we delaying how to break the cycle? Because, yes, we have all been there and still go there.

Episode seven productivity is not what you think it is. This is where we started pulling apart the traditional ideas of productivity and looking at it through a fresh lens. And episode eight stop wasting time, the power of a pivot to propel your productivity, because sometimes the most productive thing we can do is change direction. And this is probably the episode that people mentioned to me the most. Even this week, I was chatting with some friends and they’ve made a pivot in their business because of listening to this episode. So these 25 episodes have laid the foundation, but now I want to take a short pause and reflect on where we’re heading next.

Speaker 1: 3:11

So here’s the plan I’m officially wrapping up season one today and taking a short break to step back and look at the bigger picture. I’ll be using April to reflect, reimagine and get really intentional about what season two could look like, and I’d love your input. No, in fact, I need your input. I couldn’t do this without you. This podcast is for you and in order to make it the best it can be, I need to know what you think.

Speaker 1: 3:36

I’ve created a short, simple survey to hear directly from you what episodes you’ve loved, what you’d like more of and what would make this podcast even more helpful and inspiring for your life and work. It’ll only take about three minutes to complete, but it will be priceless to me. And to give you that little push to complete it, everyone who completes the survey before midnight on the 20th of April will be entered into a draw to win a £20 Amazon voucher. You’ll find the link to the survey right here in the show notes or head over to zestproductivitycom. Forward slash season one. So that’s it for now. I’ll be back in may with season two, filled with fresh ideas, some exciting new features and, of course, more real talk about working and living with purpose, clarity and zest. Until then, take care, stay curious and thank you for being part of this journey with me.
