I’ve been thinking a lot about prioritizing lately, mostly because I’ve been shifting the way I prioritize things in my life the last few months. My priorities desperately needed to change so that work wasn’t always #1, and I wasn’t always chasing an endless to-do list of busywork.

Because “when you prioritize the important over the urgent, you don’t just get more done, you get the right things done. And that’s the difference between a busy life and a meaningful one.” - Greg McKeown.

So today’s quickie reveals how to break free from the cult of busyness and master the art of prioritization using productivity minimalism principles inspired by Greg McKeown best-selling book, Essentialism. We dive into why you're focusing on urgent tasks instead of important priorities, along with actionable strategies to create a more meaningful, intentional life. I break down The Law of Inverse Prioritization, which explains why the most important things in life (health, relationships, personal growth) often get neglected while urgent but meaningless tasks consume all of our time and energy.

Tune in to hear:

• Productivity minimalism strategies for focusing on high-impact activities
• The difference between urgent and important
• Time management tricks through intentional prioritization
• Work-life balance and escaping the busyness addiction cycle
• My priorities in this season of life (Burnout prevention, relationships, writing and health)
• Time blocking techniques for non-negotiable important activities
• 3 key questions for your prioritization and decision-making framework
• Organizing your life around purpose and impact

• Greg’s book and academy on Essentialism
