Throwback: 5 Steps to a Peacefully Productive Week with Jess Massey
On today’s episode, we chat with Jess Massey who created the Hustle Sanely framework on accident while she was in grad school. She realized she couldn’t do everything – she was tired, and her mental health was suffering – and this new framework was born! From the Hustle Sanely framework came the Peacefully Productive Week framework, which helps you get all the things done WITHOUT pulling your hair out! (she loves a good framework!) If you feel like you have too much to do for this to work for you, Jess recommends taking an honest look at your life and how you spend your time.
