007: MYTH: Being productive means getting MORE done

Season #1

“Let that To-Do list support you, not control you. It should support your purpose, your vision, and your goals. That way you can move forward with what matters most to you, so you can be more productive.” - Elise Enriquez  

Welcome to the Productivity Breakthrough Podcast with Elise Enriquez. Today I tackle probably the most common productivity myth, that productivity means getting everything done. For a lot of people, they define productivity as checking everything off their long to-do list. The sad truth is that entropy is knocking at all our doors and our lists will never stay clear.
