Are you stuck in the hustle cycle: grinding, multitasking, and still not moving the needle?

In this episode of Bad Day Excellence, Brian Walsh flips the script on productivity guilt and introduces the concept of Strategic Laziness, a smarter, science-backed way to work less and achieve more. Backed by Stanford research, personal transformation, and real-world leadership insights, you'll learn how cutting the busywork actually accelerates your growth.

🎯 What you’ll learn:

  • Why 70-hour workweeks don’t lead to better results

  • How multitasking kills your focus (and your IQ)

  • The 80/20 rule and why most of your effort is wasted

  • How to use “The Reverse To-Do List” to eliminate overwhelm

  • 3 habit-based strategies to protect your energy and increase effectiveness

  • What Daniel Kahneman’s court study teaches us about decision fatigue

🔥 Plus, this week’s Challenge of the Week will help you build clarity and momentum by doing less — on purpose.
