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). Less doing, better results. Ever feel like the harder you work, the less you actually get done? I used to think productivity meant stacking more habits, cramming my schedule, and forcing myself to grind… until it completely burned me out. In this video, I’ll show you a different approach that helped me get more done without feeling like I’m chained to a to-do list. 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.
