Why Your To-Do List Is RUINING Your Success
Manage episode 496472459 series 3642702
I see you… color-coded pens in hand, planner perfectly laid out… rewriting that to-do list for the third time today while your actual goals collect dust.
This episode dives deep into one of the most deceptive productivity traps.
The constant rewriting of your to-do list.
If you're a high-achieving woman, entrepreneur, or working mom who prides herself on being organized, this habit might feel productive - but it's actually a form of avoidance.
I’m exposing the perfectionism patterns that keep you spinning your wheels, and breaking down why rewriting your to-do list is not progress.
Instead, learn how to take imperfect action using the "Must, Might, Move" method - a practical, guilt-free way to manage your time, reduce mental overwhelm, and actually get things done.
Tune in to learn how to:
✔ Stop mistaking motion for action
✔ Break the cycle of perfectionism and procrastination
✔ Implement a simple three-day planning buffer
✔ Prioritize using the Must, Might, Move framework
✔ Understand what actually gets you closer to your goals and values
