Getting what you want doesn’t start with doing more. It starts with knowing what matters and letting go of what doesn’t.
This week I’m joined by my friend Monisha Longacre, author of Practical Productivity and founder of Productivity 101. She’s spent decades leading in tech and building systems that help high performers stop spinning and start choosing.
We talk about how easy it is to give your time away without even realizing it, and why real productivity starts with clarity. If you’ve been saying yes to everything and wondering why you’re burnt out, this conversation will help you reset. Because being a great leader, a strong advocate, and a confident decision maker all require the same skill...knowing what not to do.
In this episode, I’ll cover:
- How to create your own “to-don’t” list and why it’s more powerful than you think
- A mindset shift for saying no without guilt
- Why protecting your time is key to getting what you want

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
