Manage episode 504349167 series 3369208
Ever feel like life is just a blur of tasks, errands, and obligations? In “Stop What You Are Doing Now: How To Achieve More By Doing Less,” I sit down with Peggy Sullivan, a well-known advocate for intentional living and author of “Beyond Busyness.” Together, we dive deep into why constantly grinding doesn’t equal greater productivity or happiness, and how breaking the addiction to busyness can actually put you on the fast track to real achievement, balance, and joy.
Peggy shares her wake-up story (including her now-legendary accidental cat food dinner), pivotal lessons from corporate life, and the exact methods she’s used to help professionals at Google and beyond reclaim hours in their busy weeks. We’ll unpack her proven, busy-busting framework, which includes three simple steps to intentionally subtract what drains you, build daily happiness rituals, and align every “yes” or “no” with your core values.
