They discuss how having a playful and flexible system can make the difference between burnout and momentum. They revisit the “Solve It Grid,” a tool that helps organize tasks based on your current state instead of your to-do list’s demands.Along the way, Keila the AI assistant pops in with unexpected wisdom, including a pep talk about dry cleaning that might honestly apply to your entire life. There’s plenty of laughter, but underneath it all is a real conversation about what helps when your brain feels stuck and nothing feels possible.
