Are you actually working hard—or just making your days hard to get through? In this episode, Podge breaks down the powerful difference between hard work (the kind that moves you forward) and hard-to-do work (the kind that leaves you drained but not better).

You’ll learn:

• How to stop chasing fatigue as proof of success
• The psychology behind why we equate busyness with worth
• How to find your minimum effective dose (sleep, movement, connection)
• How to respect your maximum effective dose to avoid burnout
• Why working in seasons, not extremes, creates long-term excellence
• Five practical tools to focus on real progress, not performative effort
