108. Three Things You’re Overcomplicating About Getting Things Done (That Should Be Simple)
We tend to make things way more complicated than they need to be. And honestly? It's because thinking and planning feels easier than actually sitting down and doing the thing.
In this episode of the Learn and Work Smarter podcast, I reveal the three areas that we tend to WAY overcomplicate more than anything else. And when we do, we prevent ourselves from taking action on what matters.
What You Learn:
- How overthinking and overfeeling keep you paralyzed, and the straightforward framework for making decisions and moving on
- The reality of task management: why basic systems outperform fancy apps, and what you really need to stay on top of your work
- Three ways we overcomplicate doing the work, and why waiting for the right conditions is procrastination dressed up as planning
- Why more complexity doesn't make you more effective, and the simple approach that gets results better than anything else
