Why Your To-Do List Is Keeping You Stuck (and What Actually Moves the Needle)
Manage episode 495735368 series 3669122
If you’ve ever sat down to “get things done” only to end the day wondering what actually moved forward — this episode is for you.
Jacqueline breaks down why most planners and to-do lists weren’t designed for entrepreneurs juggling strategy, sales, family, and everything in between. She explains the trap of “mashed-up lists” that mix grocery runs with revenue goals — and why that keeps you stuck in busy mode instead of growth mode.
This episode digs into:
- The difference between strategic work and support work.
- Why your brain panics when everything has equal weight.
- A simple two-column system to flip your to-do list right-side up.
- How to schedule the quiet, strategic work first — before the loud stuff eats your day.
With stories from both her corporate audits and her own business launch, Jacqueline shows why growth comes from focusing on the right work, not just the loud work.
