Most founders think they have a time problem. In reality, they have a decision problem.

In this episode of The Organised CEO, I share Sarah’s story, a brilliant service provider who was drowning in her inbox, convinced she just needed better focus. What we uncovered together was far deeper: she’d built her business around being essential to everything. Even her email became a bottleneck.

You’ll hear:

  • Why inbox overwhelm isn’t about discipline or productivity hacks

  • The hidden “safety behaviours” keeping you stuck in operator mode

  • How to flip your decision hierarchy so projects move first and email waits

  • The keystone shift that freed Sarah from months of reactive spirals, in less than 24 hours

If you’ve ever felt trapped in your own version of “email prison,” this episode will show you how one small structural shift can ripple through your entire week.
