Manage episode 484950088 series 61117
Chasing the perfect productivity system can feel like a full-time job. One minute you’re testing out a new app, the next you’re knee-deep in automation scripts — yet your to-do list keeps growing. Sound familiar?
In this episode, we explore why stepping away from the noise and ignoring most productivity advice might be your most productive move. From a surprising Reddit post to personal stories of simplification, we unpack how doing less — and doing it more intentionally — can lead to bigger results.
