In this episode, Lori Gouhin tackles the common struggle: the endless cycle of busyness that keeps us feeling productive but doesn’t truly move the needle on our goals. If you’ve ever ended a packed week wondering what you actually accomplished, this episode is for you.

Lori shares insights on the root causes, such as avoiding discomfort and the fear of commitment, and provides actionable strategies to shift from busy work to true productivity.

Lori emphasizes the importance of identifying true priorities, focusing creative energy on current challenges, and sticking with your goals long enough to see results. She also stresses the value of breaking down goals into manageable sprints and building accountability to stay committed.
