Rise and grind!

Time is money!!

You can rest when you're dead!!

For decades, societal pressures have pushed us to do more, achieve more, and be more, with the promise of feeling accomplished, fulfilled, and happy. But this relentless pursuit often comes at the cost of our mental and physical health.

Are we happier? Will it ever be enough?

Being productive isn’t just about time management; it's about managing your emotions.

In a world obsessed with getting more done, "Toxic Productivity" reveals the hidden roots of hustle culture and dismantles the myth that doing more makes you more worthy.

- Cultivate a healthier perspective on achievement

- Create sustainable habits for reaching goals that are authentically meaningful

This episode opened by eyes to SO much and I hope you all find it valuable too!
