The 3 Productivity Myths That Are Burning You Out and Why No Hack Will Work Until You Break Them
Ever wondered why no productivity hack seems to stick? Three hidden patterns are silently sabotaging your success, and they've likely been running your life for decades.
Forget what you've been told about needing more discipline or a better system. In this eye-opening episode, we expose the myths that are bleeding your productivity dry. That belief that pushing harder will help you "get it all done"? It's costing you precious energy as you tweak emails into oblivion and chase the dopamine hit of "one more thing." The idea that saying yes makes things easier? It's allowing others to spend your time while your own priorities gather dust. And that pride in "working best under pressure"? It's actually an adrenaline addiction that's keeping you trapped in a cycle of stress and burnout.
The truth is startling: most productivity advice fails because it doesn't address the underlying patterns of perfectionism, people-pleasing, and procrastination that have hijacked your focus. These self-sabotaging tendencies aren't character flaws—they're deeply ingrained patterns that can be rewired once you recognize them. As hundreds of women have discovered, once these patterns stop running you, you take back what's already yours: your time, your energy, your focus.
