INCREASING LIFE BALANCE
AND PRODUCTIVITY
KACY MITCHELL, EANES EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGIST
LIFE ISN’T
BALANCED.
(SO WHAT, NOW WHAT?)
IF WE DON’T TAKE CHARGE OF LIFE’S DIRECTION,
OUR LIFE WILL BE CONTROLLED BY THE OUTSIDE
TO SERVE THE PURPOSE OF SOME OTHER AGENCY.
- MIHALY CSIKSZENTMIHALYI
MINDSET CHANGE
➤ Busy does not equal
productive.
➤ It’s not cool to brag about
being busy.
MIHALY CSIKSZENTMIHALYI
➤ “Flow is being completely
involved in an activity for its
own sake. The ego falls away.
Time flies. Every action,
movement, and thought
follows inevitably from the
previous one, like playing
jazz.”
➤ “Unless a person knows how
to give order to her thoughts,
attention will be attracted to
whatever is most problematic
at the moment.”

TECHNOLOGY PARADOX
➤ Be mindful of when
technology is helpful and
when it is harmful.
➤ Talk up your nonresponse.
➤ Be intentional about your use
of technology.
➤ Carve out sacred time and
spaces.
DO NOT DISTURB.
