❓[01-29] Am I actually unproductive, or am I just setting unrealistic expectations for myself?


Listen Later

Brandon Holmes: I’m getting my priorities done, yet the list keeps growing and I’m stressing about where the time goes.

  • Focus on effectiveness, not efficiency, because doing the right things matters more than doing more things.
  • Set realistic expectations on things that you should get done to avoid the thought of not being productive enough.
  • Manage your time and attention to avoid the fear of thinking where your time went by tracking everything on your calendar.
  • Notice how small distractions quietly break flow and cost far more time than they seem.
  • Accept you are never getting it all done so pressure drops and priorities sharpen.
