1302: The Real Reason You’re Stuck: Pressure Screams, Priority Whispers


Listen Later

You don’t need more time — you need fewer false fires.

If you constantly feel like there’s just not enough time, this episode will change the way you see your life — and your to-do list — forever.

Inside the Consistency Course, I hear it every day: “Life got busy. I meant to do XYZ. But the day got away from me.” And the problem isn’t laziness or lack of motivation — it’s the fact that we’ve confused pressure for priority.

We’ve been taught to answer to what’s loud, urgent, and externally expected. But that kind of pressure has nothing to do with what actually matters to us.

In today’s episode, I’ll show you exactly how to stop working in your life — and start working on it. You’ll walk away with tools to clarify your true priorities, protect your time, and reset your habits so they actually reflect what matters most to you.

🔑 In this episode, we’ll unpack:
  • Why pressure screams louder than priority — and how to stop answering it

  • The real difference between “need to” and “want to” — and why that distinction matters

  • Why working in your life is keeping you stuck (and how to start working on your life instead)

  • The simple perspective shift that reveals what’s really urgent — and what’s just noise

  • How to protect your most valuable time — even in a full, chaotic life

🧭 Ask yourself:
  • What are my top three true priorities right now?

  • Do my habits, calendar, and energy reflect those priorities — or not?

  • What needs to change so that they do?

📌 Quote to remember:

“You don’t need more time. You need fewer pressures disguised as priorities." “Most people are working in their lives. Very few are working on them.”
