#75 How to Stop the Endless To-Do List and Actually Get Things Done

from The Energy

You're writing lists. You're ticking things off. You're staying on top of it all. And you're completely exhausted — and somehow still feel behind. The problem isn't your productivity. It's your to-do list. In this the Energy Podcast episode, I share the psychology behind why the traditional to-do list is scientifically designed to keep you in a state of low-grade anxiety, why your brain loses up to 40% productivity tracking incomplete tasks and give you system to stop doing the endless to-do lists and actually gets the right things done. Grounded in the latest research on the Zeigarnik Effect, this episode is the productivity reset your burnt-out brain has been waiting for.  So, tune in!
