Inside Job

109: The Problem Isn't Prioritization


Listen Later

We kicked off this episode with book picks.

  • Eric is fascinated by the incredible Dolly Parton and her best-selling book with James Patterson, Run Rose Run.
  • Nayla is loving The House of Special Purpose by John Boyne which is about the Romanov family (no, not Natasha's origin story)- highly recommended

Getting into today's topic, we discuss a listener/client question about "HOW to prioritize?" and the mini-epidemic we've noticed around our worries about not being able to manage our responsibilities and being too busy.

The goal of prioritizing isn't to create a better list.

We question the assumptions and biases that lead us to overcommit, how the "post-it-note" method/massive to-do list might be a casual disregard of our time, and the critical questions to ask yourself to add more awareness of what is and what should be on the "list".
