1315: The Silent Trap of a Productive Life


Listen Later

In today’s episode, I’m sharing a powerful and uncomfortable truth: you can be incredibly productive and still be wildly ineffective. If you’ve ever felt like your days are full but your life feels stuck — this is for you.

I’m drawing inspiration from The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis — a book where the devil teaches his apprentice how to keep someone distracted from living a meaningful, intentional life. One of the strategies? Keep them trapped in their to-do list. Make them believe that daily logistics are real life — and never let them question it.

We’re talking about:

  • The danger of mistaking motion for progress

  • How the “secondary” quietly replaces the “primary”

  • Why the tasks that feel urgent often aren't important

  • How to reframe your days around what truly matters

This isn’t about doing less — it’s about making room for what’s real.
