57. Why Doing Less Today Will Give You Better Results In A Year

What if the reason you feel behind every day isn’t because you’re unmotivated or doing something wrong… but because you’re trying to fit a year’s worth of progress into a single day? In this episode, I’m unpacking one of the biggest mindset traps that keeps so many of us stuck: overestimating what we can do in a day and underestimating what we can do in a year. You know that feeling when your to-do list could take three people to finish, and even after checking off half of it, you still end the day feeling like you failed? That’s not productivity, it’s pressure disguised as ambition. I’ll walk you through how that pattern erodes your self-trust, fuels burnout, and tricks you into thinking you’re not doing enough. Then I’ll flip the lens and show you what happens when you stop measuring your worth by the boxes you check in 24 hours and start thinking about what’s possible in 12 months of steady, consistent effort. By the end of this episode, you’ll stop asking, “Why can’t I get it all done today?” and start asking the better question: “What could my life look like a year from now if I just kept showing up?” What's Discussed: (00:03) Trapped in Overestimating Daily Tasks (04:13) How Unrealistic To-Do Lists Set You Up for Failure (10:35) The Burnout Loop You Keep Repeating (11:59) Strategies for Real Productivity and Self-Trust (19:43) Embracing Consistent Daily Habits for Long-Term Change 🔥 Want to bring this energy to your team or event?
