How to Streamline Your Work: The Four T’s Approach

Ever feel like your to-do list grows faster than your results? Like you’re doing more but moving less?

In this solo training, I share a deeply personal and tactical breakdown of one of the most powerful frameworks I use to manage time, avoid burnout, and actually make progress: The Wedge of Expectations, plus Mike Michalowicz’s 4Ts—Treasure, Trim, Transfer, Trash. 

This isn’t about adding more to your plate. It’s about protecting what matters and building a business that doesn’t cost your peace.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why most entrepreneurs are addicted to the wrong kind of effort
• How to create boundaries that protect your energy and execution
• The difference between working and working on the right things
• How to do a simple but powerful time audit to uncover hidden energy leaks
• The Wedge of Expectations and how it guarantees daily progress
