Emma Norris guides you in setting purposeful plans that are right for you and nurturing a healthier approach to prioritizing, so you can live a more value-based life. She'll guide you through monotasking, batch working, productivity, and resting —not quitting. As we face uncertainty from all directions and new obstacles at every turn, it is easy to feel overwhelmed. This state of mind leaves little room to figure out what we want to do and lots of room to doubt ourselves. We can fill up our days, but it doesn't always mean we are being productive. Or we can have lots of plans and not know exactly where to start to achieve what we want. Having more mindful productivity habits can combat these challenges by helping you keep track of your goals and accomplish them. You can pick the right methods to achieve things without feeling stress, anxiety, or the pressure of external factors while also improving your focus and living a purposeful life. Life doesn't always go as planned, and when that happens, we want to be prepared to be our most productive selves. Each chapter of this book is tailored to help you achieve mindful productivity. You'll learn to:

• Pursue progress over perfection
• Embrace the chaos
• Set boundaries
• Create realistic objectives
• Practicemindfulness
• And much more

You'll not only nurture a more stress-free lifestyle, but also learn to embrace the unexpected challenges that may come your way. You will learn how to cultivate productivity into your everyday routine, so you are able to achieve anything you set your mind to without the pressure of doing everything. With Progress Over Perfection, you'll find the courage and the resolve to do what you want to do without having to compromise your plans to fit the pressures of everyday society. It's possible to be your true self and achieve anything you want, even among the chaos.
