This episode explores Stephen Covey’s principle of prioritizing what truly matters over constant busyness. Through the story of Michael, a successful businessman overwhelmed by endless demands, we see how a life filled with activity can still feel empty and out of balance.

After suffering from severe stress and burnout, Michael is forced to pause and reflect on his true priorities. Rediscovering his original values—family, health, and meaningful work—he begins restructuring his life around what matters most. By learning to say no, delegate, and protect his time, he regains clarity, presence, and connection with loved ones.

The episode reminds listeners that effectiveness is not about doing more, but about doing what matters. When we align our schedules with our values, we create a life that is not only productive, but deeply fulfilling.
