Unstuck Your Life

122. The Brutal Truth About Being 'Too Busy'


Listen Later

"I'll do it when things calm down..." "I just need to get through this busy season..." "Once I finish this project, I'll have more time..."


Sound familiar? (Yeah, I thought so.)


In this week's episode of Unstuck Your Life, we're diving into the one excuse that's probably costing you more than you realize. Hint: It's not about time management – it's about something way deeper.


Ever notice how the busiest people you know are often the ones accomplishing the least? Or how about that friend who seems to "have it all together" but is constantly telling you how overwhelmed they are? There's a reason for that, and it's probably not what you think.


This episode might make you a little uncomfortable. Good. Because we're about to challenge everything you think you know about being "busy" – including the real reason you might be wearing it like a badge of honor.


Warning: If you're looking for another productivity hack or time management system, this isn't it. But if you're ready to get honest about what's really keeping you stuck in the hamster wheel of busy, this episode is for you.


You'll discover:

The surprising link between "busy" and fear (this one hit me hard)

What your schedule actually reveals about your priorities (even if you don't want it to)

The generational impact of our "busy" addiction (parents, this one's especially for you)

A radical new way to think about time that changes everything

Plus, we'll explore the question nobody's asking but everyone needs to answer: What if being busy isn't the problem – or the solution?


P.S. If you've ever caught yourself saying "I don't have time" while scrolling social media for an hour, this episode is definitely for you. Just saying... 😉

About the host:

Hi, friend! My name is Pamela Hughes and I’m a former talk show host turned life coach. After 20 years in the news business, I walked away from what people thought I should do and I did what I wanted to do … coach people who are stuck like I was and help them find relief, awareness and control within themselves.


This was no easy task and I’m not here telling you it was. I had to take full responsibility for where my life was and then decide where I wanted it to go. It was time to stop complaining about my situation and do something about it. I had to stop looking for others to validate me and start having my own back. This required looking inside myself for the answers instead of looking outside myself.


I told you it wasn’t easy … but I wouldn’t change one thing about my journey because it led me right here to you reading about it, maybe identifying with aspects of it and hopefully being inspired to get UNSTUCK.
