You’re Doing Productivity Wrong

We treat productivity like a competitive sport, measuring our worth in how many boxes we can tick before lunch. We pack our schedules, worship at the altar of busyness, and then wonder why we’re exhausted all the time. In this episode, I break down why our obsession with productivity might actually be making us worse at it.
