Stack habits, grind harder, hustle more. But that's exactly what leads to burnout - and when you're burnt out, your productivity drops to zero for weeks or months. Here's the thing: you already have enough time. You work 50 hours a week, sleep 8 hours a night, and still have 38% of your life completely unaccounted for. The problem isn't time - it's how you see it. I'll show you the time audit that changed everything for me, why deep work beats busy work, and the dark psychology behind why most of us stay "productive" (spoiler: it's not healthy).

There's a hidden chunk of time most of us are missing (38% of our lives, actually), and once you see it, everything changes. If you're tired of busywork and want to work smarter, not harder, this one's for you.
