Ever spent more time updating the tracker than doing the actual task? You’re not alone—and you’ve likely fallen into what we call The Paradox of Over-Organization.

In this episode, we break down the hidden cost of overly complex systems—the kind that promise productivity but actually slow everything down. From dashboards about dashboards to 15-minute meetings for 3-minute tasks, we explore how well-intentioned organization can backfire—and what to do about it.

Because when your system becomes the work… the real work suffers.

💡 What You’ll Learn:

• Why over-organization kills momentum
• The difference between useful systems and performative productivity
• A real-world (and ridiculous) example of a 3-minute task that took 45 minutes to not get done • How excessive structure erodes creativity, autonomy, and results
• Practical ways to simplify without losing visibility

🛠️ Action Step:

Next time you’re about to create a new tracker, ask:

“Am I organizing the work… or avoiding it?”

📌 Perfect For:

• Project managers & team leads
• Ops professionals drowning in dashboards
