ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Why do I feel busy all day but never move forward on anything? Why can I never get through my to-do list? How do I stop feeling too overwhelmed to even start?
In this episode, Dr. Alise answers three of the questions she hears most consistently, from listeners, clients, and people she meets who ask "this might be a weird question, but." They're not weird questions. They're the ones without obvious answers, at least not the answers most productivity advice gives you. This episode breaks down what's actually happening underneath each one and what genuinely helps, including a psychological concept that explains why starting small works better than you'd expect.
In this episode:
- Why reaction mode fills a day without ever moving you forward, and how a filter changes that
- Why the to-do list is the wrong tool for the job, and what a shorter, more intentional list does instead
- A five-year question worth sitting with if your current pace makes your stomach churn
- How to begin when you're too overwhelmed to start, including the smallest possible first step
- The Zeigarnik effect: why your brain actually wants to help you finish what you start
