"Slow down to speed up" & other truths about time & productivity, with Vaida Cesnulyte

Episode 49. "You can never be productive if you’re exhausted."

Vaida Cesnulyte is a numbers girl from Lithuania who has her Bachelor's and Masters's degrees in Applied Mathematics. She then moved to Finland to get her Ph.D. in Applied Physics in the field of Climate Change. 

While Vaida loved understanding the climate and physical processes behind it and enjoyed presenting her research at  various conferences, while collaborating with other scientists, she realized that the world of academia was not her future. 

So after 4.5 years, she walked away. For the next 4 years Vaida worked at jobs from Marketing Analyst to following her love of cars and worked at a small, private car import firm. While there, she started to put systems and tools in place to optimize and automate it better. 

That was when Vaida realized she had the skills, knowledge, and desire to help people not only be more productive and organize their time better but also help them set and achieve their goals.

In January 2021, Vaida started her consulting business helping established business owners grow their 6 figure businesses to multiple 6 & 7 figures all while working fewer hours. 

Vaida focuses on up-leveling their productivity skillset and becoming better at setting goals, organizing, prioritizing, managing emails and the calendar, eliminating distractions, and changing the mindset around effective work. 

Vaida is a firm believer that people are meant to do more in life than just work and this is the focus of her conversation with Linda. 

In addition to discussing toxic productivity and its effect on us, they cover blending work and life, and what Vaida advises clients do to reach their goals.

Vaida’s insight:

“When you buy a book, you also buy the time to read that book…”

“Achieving goals is a habit. Not achieving goals is also a habit.”

“Other people are masters at filling our calendars.”

“The most important lesson is to focus on the things we can control: our thoughts, our values, our actions…”
