I see you. You’re putting in the hours. You’re checking tasks off the list. Responding quickly, staying on top of things. And somehow, it still feels like you can’t get everything done. You might think the problem is time. That you’re just too busy. But that’s not actually the issue. The real drain is DECISION…
Today I’m sharing a conversation I’ve had with a few clients over the past couple of weeks. It’s been around, creating leverage in your life. Here’s a real-time example. You know what’s gonna happen with this newsletter? A snippet will turn into an IG reel. Pieces will show up in an upcoming training on systemizing. And the…
Confession. On Thursday, I caught myself doing exactly the opposite of what I teach. I was on a Zoom call, answering emails, half-listening, and… …Making a grocery list. (preparing for the ice storm!) I remember thinking, “Look at me, I’m being so efficient.” The call ended. I wasn’t totally sure what had been decided. I sent…
You know what feels like a bad idea? When you have 100 important tasks, and instead of moving on them… You stop and plan. Emails are waiting. Deadlines approaching. People need answers. Who has time to stop when all you want to do is go, go, go? So you respond as most capable, responsible go-getters…
I love jumping out of bed and going straight to the gym. Said my body ever! And yet, somehow, things still get done. That’s because motivation gets way too much credit. We tend to think productive people wake up energized, inspired, and ready to tackle whatever’s on the list. That they feel motivated first. But that’s not…
Every December, I feel it creeping in. The pressure to set goals. The lists. The declarations about who I’m going to become on January 1. And every year, I resist it just a little more. Not because goals are bad. I love goals. I literally teach productivity for a living. But because resolutions often feel…
I’ll be honest. This was a rough work year for me. Nothing fell apart, and everything looked fine from the outside, but internally, it just felt heavy. Projects stalled. Momentum felt slow. Things that used to feel easy suddenly felt like pushing a boulder uphill. But something shifted in the 4th quarter. Part of it…
If your to-do list feels out of control this time of year, you’re not alone. I hear it constantly. Leaders tell me their list has turned into a chaotic mix of tasks, errands, ideas, half-baked plans, and “might need this later” notes that somehow never leave the page. Let’s change that. Here are three simple…
Picture this. It’s Thanksgiving. (if you’re in the U.S.) Your house is buzzing with people you love. The kind of loud, happy chaos that fills your heart even as it fills every corner of your home. And yet, you might feel your hand drifting toward your phone. Not because you need to check anything urgent……
“Who feels like they have brain fog most days?” Last week I asked this to a leadership team. Every hand shot up faster than free coffee on a Monday morning. As we talked, the culprit became obvious. Their nighttime habits were… let’s just say, aspirational. Late-night emails. Just one more episode. Scrolling for 10 minutes that…
