When “Productive” is Actually Avoidance: The Task-Happy Do-Over
017 If you have ever worked hard all day and still felt behind, this episode is for you.
Candace shares a real life moment of rearranging an entire room instead of expanding a course outline she knew she needed to finish. She was not scrolling. She was not doing nothing. She was productive.
Just not in the right direction.
In this episode, Candace unpacks why busy brains often turn toward visible, satisfying tasks when something emotionally heavier is waiting. Why it does not feel like avoidance in the moment. And why that quiet end of day frustration hits so hard.
If you have ever thought, “I did so much… why doesn’t it count?” this conversation will feel familiar.
