How to Spot Downhill Work in Disguise


Listen Later

Everybody loves a good costume - even your tasks! There are things we do every day that might feel like productive work, but they're actually tasks that are simply filling your time and keeping you from accomplishing the goals you've set for yourself. The question is: How can you tell the difference between actual productive work and the downhill tasks that find a way to monopolize your time?

Also, Courtney answers a community member's question about how long to track habit goals.

In this episode, you will:

  • Learn two ways to identify downhill work
  • Understand how to replace downhill work with productive tasks
  • Hear about the complexities of habit stacking over multiple quarters
