If you're constantly saying yes to everyone, beating yourself up for falling behind, or spending too much time deciding what to do next, you might be dealing with productivity killers you don't even realize are holding you back.
In this milestone 300th episode of Overwhelmed Working Woman, life coach Michelle Gauthier reveals the three habits that quietly sabotage your productivity before you even get started. You'll learn how to recognize these patterns, interrupt them, and make more room for the work that truly matters—without adding more hours to your day.
In this episode, you'll discover how to:
- Protect your time and energy by breaking the habit of automatically saying yes to every request and creating space to decide what actually deserves your attention.
- Quiet negative self-talk so you can stop getting stuck in feelings of guilt and overwhelm and start taking small, meaningful steps toward your work.
- Reduce decision fatigue by making decisions ahead of time and establishing simple rules that help you avoid repeatedly debating the same choices.
Press play to discover the three productivity killers that may be keeping you overwhelmed and learn simple, practical ways to reclaim your time, focus on what matters, and get more done by doing less.
