I am a self-confessed high achiever. I love to do more, not less. So I’ve been learning this lesson over the past few years. Doing less is actually the door to more success and fulfillment. Let me show you how.
There is no denying the work is on an upward trajectory in terms of busyness and productivity. We cram more activities into the same amount of time and sleep less. The cost to us lies in our time, energy and well-being. All these aspects suffer as we push ourselves to keep up with more demands and opportunities.
First in this episode we will look into what drives the need to be doing more. I explore the economic factor, the social pressure and most importantly our own internal drivers.
Then I share the learnings of my journey to start doing less. I realised that it brought me better results, and a higher level of satisfaction – not at the expense of anything else.
You’ll learn:
- Why you feel the need to keep doing things
- The limits of being permanent human doings
- Why this is an outdated model and what to replace it with nowadays
- What level of activity feels natural to you
- My tips to be doing less in your days
You will understand how you have a choice to either follow along with the crowds and keep busy, or decide to do less and find ways to make it work. Once you try it for a week or two, you will see the benefits for yourself and feel differently.
Please share this episode with anyone who is a busy achiever or who don’t give themselves the permission to do less and rest.
