Maybe This Season Isn’t About Getting More Done

What if the next thing God is asking you to do isn’t more?

After my sabbatical and getting laid off, my project manager brain immediately wanted to start solutioning. What’s the next job? What’s the next business move? What am I launching? What do I need to get done?

But I’ve been sitting with a different question:

Maybe this season isn’t about getting more done.

In this episode of Notes for Her Faith, we’re talking about what happens when productivity becomes part of your identity, why open space doesn’t always need to be filled, and the difference between resting with God and avoiding what He already told you to do.

I also share what this slower season has looked like for me personally, including learning to process my layoff instead of immediately rushing to replace what ended.

In this episode, we talk about:

• When productivity becomes part of how we measure our worth
• Why movement and progress are not the same thing
• Giving yourself time to process an ending before rushing into something new
• Recognizing that every season isn’t a season of acceleration or harvest
• The difference between resting and avoiding
• When “I’m waiting on God” is really procrastination
• Asking God what actually deserves your attention right now
• How reflection, journaling, and time in the Word can help you move with intention

Ecclesiastes reminds us that there is a season for everything. Sometimes God says move. Sometimes He says wait. Sometimes He redirects. And sometimes He tells us to rest.

The goal isn’t constant activity.

The goal is alignment.

Here’s Your Note for Today

Ask yourself:

What am I rushing because being still makes me uncomfortable?

Then ask God:

What actually deserves my attention in this season?

Sit with the answer before immediately adding something else to your to-do list.
