Productivity Dysmorphia: When “Busy” Still Feels Like Failure

from Experiencing Healthcare Podcast · host Matt Staub, Jamie Preston

In this episode of Experiencing Healthcare, Jamie and Matt unpack a term that instantly hits home for people in healthcare: Productivity Dysmorphia—when you’re doing a lot, but it still feels like it’s never enough.They explore why clinicians, leaders, and support teams often leave work exhausted yet feeling unproductive, how healthcare metrics can accidentally reinforce that feeling, and why stories and outcomes matter just as much as numbers. Matt offers a powerful reminder: your value isn’t the sum of your task list—and not everything meaningful is measurable.
