If you want to get more done without hustling harder, this episode is for you.

In this episode of Balancing Busy, I’m sharing how romanticizing your to-do list can actually help you be more productive, more focused, and more consistent—without burning out.

You’ll learn five simple ways to change how your to-do list feels so it stops feeling heavy or overwhelming and starts working for you. We talk about making your planning tools enjoyable to use, starting your day with intention instead of urgency, adding joy into your daily schedule, turning hard tasks into rituals, and why celebrating small wins is essential for long-term motivation.

This episode is for busy women, entrepreneurs, and moms who feel stuck, unmotivated, or overwhelmed by their to-do list and want a healthier, more sustainable approach to productivity.

If you’ve ever felt like your to-do list runs your life—or that productivity advice just makes you feel more behind—this episode will help you rethink how you work and why it matters.

Between Besties is a monthly check-in where I share what’s really been shaping my life lately—the stories, realizations, and choices I’d talk through with a close friend.

In this episode, I’m sharing why I let January be my sluff card month, how an unexpected road trip with my dad shifted everything, and why a bright orange coat has me thinking differently about joy.

This conversation is part life update and part reflection—about slowing down on purpose, trusting your rhythm, and playing the long game.

I’m also sharing the books I read this month and one simple ritual that’s helping me start my days grounded instead of rushed.

If January hasn’t felt like a full-on fresh start for you, this episode might be exactly what you needed to hear.

Most people don’t quit their goals because they’re lazy or undisciplined.
They quit because the system they’re using can’t survive real life.

Quitters Day—the second Friday in January—is when motivation fades and goals quietly fall apart. But science tells a very different story about why that happens… and how to stop it.

IN THIS EPISODE: 

I walk you through 6 research-backed ways to make goals stick, even after motivation wears off. We’re breaking down what psychology and neuroscience actually say about follow-through—and why doing less often leads to more success.
