Episode #243: The Never Ending Productivity Marathon

Summary 

Have you ever gotten to the end of a really productive day and still felt like you should have done more? You crossed things off your to-do list, handled what needed to get done, and somehow your brain is already thinking about what else you could accomplish.

In this next episode of my overthinking series, I’m sharing one sentence that sounds like a great work ethic but might actually be costing you more than you realize. It’s a belief that earned many of us praise and gold stars growing up, but as overachieving adults, it can make it surprisingly hard to switch off. We’re talking about the hidden cost of always doing more, why rest can feel so uncomfortable, and what happens when you start questioning how much is actually enough.
