You’re not lazy. You’re overloaded. And no, another productivity hack won’t save you.

In this episode, I talk about how minimalism isn’t about white walls and hidden kitchen bins—it’s about your calendar, your relationships, your identity.

I unpack the joy of missing out using stories from travel, creative burnout, and watching a guy walk around Britain with nothing but a backpack. Turns out, when you’re doing too much, you're not living—you’re buffering.

We explore how having too many goals is like trying to break a window with a handful of dust.

Want more focus? You have to do less.

Three things you’ll learn:

  • Why doing less actually makes you better at what matters

  • How owning less clears mental space (not just your room)

  • A question to instantly identify what’s worth saying “no” to

Want your brain back? Hit play.
