Have you ever felt like you’re working all the time but still falling behind? In this episode of Hard Hat to CEO, Chris G talks with Andrew Hartman about why so many people feel stressed and overwhelmed by work. Andrew shares his own story of burnout after saying yes to too many projects and working nonstop. The stress even started hurting his health and family life. That experience pushed him to find a better way to manage time. Andrew explains his simple TimeBoss method, which uses three basic tools: your calendar, a backlog list, and a parking lot for urgent tasks. He also talks about treating time like cash, not credit, so you only commit to what you actually have time for. If you want to get more done and still have peace of mind, this episode will help you rethink how you use your time.

Andrew Hartman is a business leader, coach, and speaker who helps professionals and teams improve how they use their time. He is the founder of TimeBoss, a system designed to help people achieve strong results at work while reducing stress and burnout. Earlier in his career, Andrew worked in the software industry, where he helped grow companies and led major projects. During that time, he experienced severe work overload and burnout, which pushed him to study time management and productivity more deeply. After years of testing different methods, he created the TimeBoss framework to help leaders, teams, and organizations work at a high level without constant pressure. Today, he teaches this approach through coaching, workshops, and training for companies and professionals.
