Feeling overworked and overwhelmed? This one's for you.

We've all been there: you feel like you're working at capacity and yet another thing gets added to your to-do list.

In this episode, Katie speaks with global productivity expert and author, Donna McGeorge, about how to achieve more in less time.

You know that feeling when a meeting gets cancelled? Donna McGeorge wants to help you feel like that every day.

They discuss:

How we get into the cycle of overwork and overwhelm and how to get ourselves out of it

The warning signs we can pay attention to when we're getting overwhelmed

The importance of creating 15% capacity (1.2 hours) in our days

Our thinking, breathing, live and working spaces and how they can help us be more productive

And how to get out of your inbox and into our work
