In this episode of the "Doing What Matters" podcast, we dive into five common habits that can hinder productivity and rob us of valuable time.

I want to help you understand the importance of recognizing these habits and making a conscious effort to eliminate them from your daily routine.

My inbox had become a trap I unknowingly fell into. I share how I was able to recover, so you might do the same. We need to stop living in the inbox and over-checking emails. You'll discover how to do that.

We talk about the danger of sticky notes and how they can contribute to a cluttered and disorganized workspace.

Finally, I want to help you reduce the visual clutter in your space to help you streamline workflow and avoid unnecessary handling of papers. This will help reduce your mental clutter.

It's also time to reevaluate your commitments and learn to say no when appropriate. Set boundaries to avoid overcommitting and feeling overwhelmed. Then, take some time for self-reflection.

This episode is packed full of actionable steps to help you optimize your time and energy, so you can create more white space in your life and appreciate the extraordinary moments in the ordinary day.

Enjoy.
