Parenting with Impact
Breaking Down Big, Overwhelming Projects
Elaine describes a stalled project; Ari recommends protecting deep work, scheduling blocks, and doing hard tasks then.
Struggling to get things done might not be about effort; it could be something deeper. Psychologist Ari Tuckman uncovers the emotional roadblocks behind productivity, from shame to decision paralysis. Discover how to rethink prioritization and tap into meaningful motivation. A must-listen for anyone who wants to work smarter, not just harder.

- How to figure out what’s really getting in the way when you’re stuck
- What it means to define a problem clearly before jumping to solutions
- Why learning to say “no” is a productivity skill, not just a boundary
