Ep.85 – Productivity that Replenishes
Mich Bondesio explores regenerative productivity — an approach to work that restores energy, enhances creativity, and prevents burnout, instead of depleting us.
Episode 85 – Season 14.2
In this episode of Creating Cadence, Mich Bondesio introduces the concept of regenerative productivity — a future-ready approach to working with energy, focus, and recovery that supports both people and performance.
She explains why the old model of constant output is draining us, costing businesses billions, and fuelling burnout. Instead, regenerative productivity builds systems that adapt to human rhythms, create space for deep work, and foster wellbeing, innovation, and inclusion.
Mich also shares real-world examples from Ali Green, Buffer, and Dropbox, and offers three practical ways you can begin embedding regenerative practices into your own work or business.
If the way you work is depleting you, this episode will show you how to shift towards rhythms that restore and replenish.
