What happens when you say “Yes, And” to productivity?

Calendars packed. Inboxes pinging. Impact… stalled. In this fast, funny, and practical episode, productivity expert Sarah Ohanesian shows you how to swap performative busyness for purpose‑driven momentum. You’ll learn how to design systems that fit your brain, leave space for magic on your calendar, and focus on the few actions that actually move the needle.

I had the chance to sit down with fellow keynote speaker Avish Parashar for a rich, energizing conversation on his podcast. In this episode, Say “Yes, And” to Being So Productive, we dive deep into purpose‑driven productivity—how to stop mistaking busyness for progress and instead design systems that work with your brain, not against it.

Tune in as we explore strategies to reclaim focus, prevent burnout, and create space for the work—and the life—that truly matters. This dialogue is filled with practical advice and fresh perspectives for anyone looking to build momentum that lasts.

We are talking about:

  • Purpose-Driven Productivity: It’s not just about checking off tasks; it’s about doing the work that has the most impact for you and your team.

  • Neurodiversity in Teams: Embracing different brain types on your team can be a game-changer in creativity and productivity.

  • Creating Space for Magic: Leave white space in your calendar for unexpected opportunities and creative breakthroughs.

  • Overcoming Rigidity: Productivity isn’t one-size-fits-all—design a system that works for you and be flexible with it.

  • Balancing Short-Term vs Long-Term Tasks: Understanding your “why” helps you prioritize long-term goals even when short-term tasks demand your attention.
