How We Stay Productive at Kinetic Greenhouse (and Have Fun Doing It!)

At Kinetic Greenhouse, productivity isn’t just about checking boxes on a to-do list—it’s about creating an environment where people can do their best work and enjoy the process along the way. Our work community plays a vital role in our success and in how we get things done.

As 2025 begins to wind down, we’ve been reflecting on the small habits, smart tools, and strong team culture that keep us moving forward without losing our spark. To close out the season, I asked the team to share what helps them stay focused and what they’re feeling grateful for in their work. Their answers say a lot about who we are—both as individuals and as a team!

Here’s our tips and tricks to how we stay productive (and have fun doing it!):

What’s one habit or tool that helps you stay productive during the workweek?

I’ve gone a little old-school lately — starting each morning with a handwritten to-do list. It’s such a simple ritual, but it helps me stay focused and gives me that tiny serotonin boost every time I get to check a box.

Feeling extra grateful to have Avery join our Kinetic Greenhouse team as our marketing intern! She’s already bringing fresh ideas and great energy to the group.

What’s one habit or tool that helps you stay productive during the workweek?

I rely pretty heavily on writing out my task list for the day and keeping on top of a running list of tasks I can jump into next once I finish the current project. That way I don’t have any ‘dead air’ time where I’m uncertain what to do next. Once the ball starts rolling for me on checking off items on my list, it becomes much easier to stay productive and in the groove. I also like to write them down by hand. Since pretty much my entire workday happens on a computer, having my actual todo list and tasks be separate makes them unique and weighty, and moving to my notebook in between projects to check what’s next and track my time helps my mind disengage from the current task and engage the next one.

What’s something you’ve felt grateful for at work recently?

I’m perpetually grateful for the people I work with. In the 14 years I’ve done this I’ve worked with a lot of great people. Kinetic though feels like everyone is great. The vast majority of the time, every member of the team is kind, attentive, and ready to help when you need it, which is really rare in an office environment.

What’s one habit or tool that helps you stay productive during the workweek?

Lists! I am always writing lists of things I need to stay on top of. Organization is pretty important when you have so many clients and tasks to manage.

What’s something you’ve felt grateful for at work recently?

Always appreciate my co-workers who tirelessly send good vibes my way (feels a bit unnecessary really) but I never doubt if my work or input is valued.

What’s one habit or tool that helps you stay productive during the workweek?

I like starting the day with tiny wins. Things like clearing small tasks first thing in the morning make the rest of the day feel way more manageable.

What’s something you’ve felt grateful for at work recently?

I feel lucky to work with people who bring (kinetic) energy, curiosity and kindness to everything they do.

Director of Development and Growth

What’s one habit or tool that helps you stay productive during the workweek?

My calendar haha without my calendar I am a total mess! 

What’s something you’ve felt grateful for at work recently?

I am grateful for the continued support from leadership – They care about our well being, our growth as leaders and truly want us to succeed.

As we finish out 2025, it’s clear that our greatest productivity boost comes from each other — from the playlists that get us in the zone, to the little rituals that keep us centered, and the genuine appreciation that fuels our motivation every day.

At Kinetic Greenhouse, productivity and gratitude go hand in hand, reminding us that while the work is important, the people and the culture behind it are what truly make us thrive.

Now, as we close out the year strong and gear up for a fresh start, we’re buzzing with excitement for what lies ahead. With our momentum building and our team more connected than ever, we’re ready to tackle new challenges, seize opportunities, and keep growing — together and unstoppable!
