You’re always on the move, juggling a million tasks, yet it feels like you’re getting nowhere. Sound familiar? That cycle of busyness without progress leads straight to burnout. It’s time to break free.

In this episode, you’ll learn why being busy isn’t the same as being productive—and how to shift from just doing things to actually getting results. It’s all about moving from a “maintenance” mindset to an “output” mindset. You’ll discover how perfectionism, multitasking, and procrastination are sabotaging your productivity and keeping you stuck in overwhelm.

Key takeaways you can implement today:

1. Fall in love with finishing – Focus on ticking tasks off instead of just maintaining momentum.
2. Stop multitasking – Laser focus on one thing at a time and get it done.
3. Reward yourself – Use small incentives to push through tasks.
4. Gamify your work – Make productivity fun and engaging.
5. Know your peak performance time – Work when you’re naturally most focused.
6. Avoid the inbox trap – Don’t let emails dictate your day.
7. Reverse-engineer your day – Set clear priorities and stick to them.

If you’re overwhelmed, this episode is your roadmap to getting back in control. Listen now and start getting things DONE.
