The Productivity Sweet Spot: How Women Master Time, Energy & Focus
Are you managing your time, staying organized, and trying to boost focus, but still ending the day without touching the work that actually grows your business?
Most productivity advice ignores two things: the dual burden women carry — work, caregiving, and the invisible mental load — and the specific cost of never having real CEO time.
Welcome to The Productivity Sweet Spot, the podcast where women learn how to build productive habits, protect their energy, and reclaim the time to lead their business — not just run it.
I'm Anne Rajoo, productivity mentor and creator of Peaceful Productivity®, and each week I share actionable insights to help you streamline your workflow, reduce work stress, and design a way of working that actually fits your life.

When Success Makes Us Sick: A Healing Journey Through Chronic Pain and Burnout
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What happens when your body says “enough”… but life still expects you to keep going?
In this deeply personal episode, I’m joined by Alex Crowther—a former global advertising exec turned pain coach—who shares his powerful chronic pain recovery journey. After a routine surgery spiraled into a decade-long battle with undiagnosed pain, Alex found himself burned out, unrecognizable, and questioning everything he thought he knew about success.
We explore the experience of chronic pain when it becomes too much to bear, and what it looks like to rebuild from a place of depletion. This conversation touches on nervous system regulation, the emotional weight of being misunderstood, and how productivity with chronic illness demands a different kind of rhythm.
Alex’s story is one of loss, healing, and eventually rediscovering purpose—proof that meaningful work is still possible, even when your capacity changes. He shares how understanding pain science and shifting his mindset helped him feel aligned again, reduce stress, and create healthy habits rooted in compassion, not force.
If you're on your own recovery journey—or just craving a version of success that includes softness—this episode will speak to you. Because healing from burnout and stress doesn’t mean doing nothing. It means doing what matters, in a way that feels sustainable.

What's really stealing your CEO time? Every entrepreneur has a dominant productivity pattern — a way of working that feels normal, even productive. But when you're the CEO, that pattern has a cost.
It shows up as full days with no real progress. As never having time to sell, to build, to think. As always being busy but never feeling ahead.
You might recognise yourself in one of four patterns: The Overloaded Operator, The Momentum Chaser, The Preparation Loop, or The Capable Bottleneck.
