Do you feel like everything needs you right now? Like you need more than one of you to get everything done? You're scrolling social media when you know what you should actually be doing, spending hours tweaking Canva graphics that don't move the needle, and letting other people's urgency dictate your entire day.

Today I'm breaking down the triage system I use with all my scaling clients to help them stop living in constant firefighting mode and actually focus on what grows their business. I'm teaching you the Eisenhower Matrix, the four quadrants every task falls into, and the exact step-by-step process you can use in under 10 minutes every single day to sort your to-do list. We're talking about the common mistakes that keep you busy but not productive, why you're creating urgency in things that aren't actually urgent, and how protecting Quadrant 2 (important but not urgent tasks) is the unlock to scaling your business. I'm also calling out the uncomfortable truth: you're probably part of the problem when it comes to people putting their urgency on you, and we need to fix that.

This episode is a masterclass in productivity, prioritization, and getting back in the driver's seat of your business instead of feeling like an employee to your own to-do list.
