Host Bree Johnson explores the pervasive myth that faster is always better, particularly in the context of work and personal productivity. She reflects on her own conditioning towards efficiency and the detrimental effects of urgency culture on creativity and well-being. Bree emphasizes the importance of slowing down, being more thoughtful, and prioritizing quality over speed to achieve better outcomes in both personal and professional endeavors. Through her journey of rewiring her beliefs about productivity, she encourages listeners to consider where they might also benefit from giving themselves permission to slow down and reflect.   Topics: efficiency, productivity, slowing down, personal growth, work-life balance, urgency culture, Enneagram, self-reflection, nervous system, burnout   Takeaways

  • Rewiring beliefs about productivity takes time.
  • Feeling like there's never enough time is a common sign of overload.
