Uncovering Intentional Mindful Productivity for Maker Managers_

Hi. I’m Kalimo. 

I write about the intersection between productivity and resilience for those who straddle the roles of Maker and Manager.

Each week I share practical productivity advice geared towards reaching our potential without burning out. Because I believe Intentional Productivity is the route to long term performance.

 

Over the last 3 years, I’ve dissected expert research and experimented on my own productivity while working as a Design and Project Manager in a fast-paced industry.

Everything I write about has been tested by myself in my quest to uncover the keys to intentional mindful productivity.
