Why Your Environment Might Be the Real Productivity Problem

In this episode of Productivity with Peace of Mind, I sit down with Sydney Ledden, founder of Sentio Design Studio, to explore how the environments we live and work in quietly shape our focus, energy, and productivity. We talk about why so many productivity struggles have less to do with motivation or discipline and more to do with spaces working against how our brains function. This conversation reframes productivity as an environmental and systems issue and shows how thoughtful design can create more clarity, ease, and peace of mind without pushing harder.
