Ever feel like you’re doing everything right: time-blocking, making the to-do lists, showing up every day, but still not actually getting things done?
In this episode, I’m sharing the honest story of how I tried to time-block my way through a big project… and completely stalled out. Instead of feeling focused and productive, I felt overwhelmed, stuck, and anxious every time that calendar reminder popped up.
But when I finally cleared my schedule and gave one project my full attention? I finished it in two days, and felt more confident and in control than I had in weeks.
If you’re juggling too many tasks and struggling to see results, this episode will help you rethink how you work, identify the execution style that works best for you, and start finishing the right things, faster.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why traditional time-blocking didn’t work for me (and what happened instead)
- The real reason your to-do list might be stealing your momentum
- How working in “deep focus sprints” helped me complete projects faster
- A simple audit to figure out if your execution style needs to change
- The mindset shift that helped me finally stop spinning my wheels
