Overcoming Overwhelm & Rediscovering Joy in the Mundane

In today’s episode, we dive into the real roots of overwhelm and productivity—and it’s not just about how much you have to do. Mark "Bilos" Bilby shares a simple story about stacking a woodpile that reveals powerful insights on moving through life’s demands without stress. We unpack the illusions around “getting things done,” challenge the myths that we create about tasks being “hard” or “shitty,” and offer a grounded approach to keep you calm, present, and in control.

Join us as we explore:

• How to turn any task—no matter how mundane—into a source of insight and enjoyment.
• Why pausing to choose your approach can be the key to overcoming overwhelm.
• The surprising power in breaking down large tasks and respecting your natural rhythm.
• Our biggest takeaway: Life doesn’t have to feel like an elephant you need to conquer.

Whether it’s a pile of wood, an endless to-do list, or a goal you’re chasing, this episode will help you find space, ease, and maybe even a little joy in the process.

Tune in and discover why sometimes, the simplest acts are our best teachers.
