If there’s one thing corporate taught me, it’s that being busy is a badge of honor. Having an endless to-do list means you’re important. Not sleeping or unplugging is just par for the course - at least if you want to get to the top. And if you’re not busy, you’re a prime candidate for the next layoff. When in doubt, put your head down and stay busy! Well, if that isn’t the biggest lie I don’t know what is! This conditioned thinking, that only helps the company you work for, is toxic even on its best day.But don’t beat yourself up too hard if you’ve fallen victim to the busy culture. I’m here to help pull you out of it and reinvent your approach.  If you’re finally ready for a more controlled and calmer way of life (or even just curious if this is actually possible), this episode is for you. I’ll share 4 specific reasons why you’ll want to break up with busy today. As a recovered corporate workaholic I’ve had to go through mindset shifts, learn to set healthy boundaries, and have a strong accountability system in place to overcome my love affair with being busy. (One that I still work on severing regularly.) Tune in now to discover valuable insights that will set you on course to a more productive and fulfilling life!Join the webinar on May 15th: www.karinfreeland.com/burnout Support the showAre you ready to make your Empowered Exit™ and break free of corporate?
