Ep. 125: Achieve More by Doing Less - The Power of Focus and Constraint

Are you trying to do all the things but feeling like you’re spinning your wheels and running 100 miles an hour in different directions? 

In this episode of Unblocked with Jessica Smarro, we’re tackling the buffet mentality. This is that urge to say yes to everything, take on every opportunity, and fill your plate to the brim.

While it might feel like you’re being productive, the truth is, spreading yourself too thin often works against your goals. Today, we’ll break down why the buffet mentality feels so appealing (hello, FOMO and restless energy!) and how it might actually be keeping you stuck. Plus, I’ll share actionable strategies to embrace the power of constraint and focus so you can achieve more by doing less.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• What the buffet mentality is and why it’s so tempting.
• How curiosity, FOMO, and a restless zest for life contribute to overwhelm.
• The real reason you’re saying yes to too much, and what you’re actually seeking.
• Why doing less isn’t about limitation; it’s about amplification.
• A simple 4-step process to embrace focus, break free from the buffet mindset, and make meaningful progress.
