Tired of the endless cycle of responding to emails and attending back-to-back meetings?

Are you tired of feeling like productivity means working yourself into the ground?

In this episode of Productivity Hacks, I’m challenging the traditional, output-focused view of productivity. If your days are packed with emails, meetings, and Slack messages, but you’re still not moving the needle on your big goals, this one’s for you.

We’ll explore:

• What productivity really means (hint: it’s not about doing more).
• The 'overhead tax' that’s stealing your time and energy.
• Cal Newport’s concept of slow productivity and why doing less can actually lead to better results.
• Practical tips to identify your most important tasks, reduce distractions, and focus on meaningful work.

By the end, you’ll feel inspired to redefine productivity on your own terms—balancing impact, focus, and sustainability. Ready to work smarter, not harder? Hit play now!
