    #8 How To Build A Balanced Routine (That Actually Lasts)

    We all know what a “good routine” looks like: eat better, sleep more, move your body, stay focused, shut down on time. So why is it so hard to actually stick to it? In this episode of Corporate Therapy, Lucy Paulise breaks down why routines fail—not because of lack of discipline, but because they’re built without structure that supports real life. Drawing from years of coaching high performers, Lucy explains how to build a balanced routine that supports both productivity and well-being by focusing on fundamentals like sleep, nutrition, movement, focused work, and recovery—without trying to optimize everything at once. You’ll learn: Why motivation and mood are unreliable foundations for routinesHow timeboxing creates consistency without rigidityWhy working “enough hours” matters more than working maximum hoursHow reducing decision fatigue protects energy and focusHow to design routines that actually last beyond week one This episode is for professionals who want sustainable performance—without burnout. 🔗 Want to go deeper?

    #7 Setting Goals With Compassion: Ambition Without Burnout

    Now that the new year is here, many high achievers feel the pressure to set bigger goals, raise their standards, and push harder. But what if the way you pursue your goals matters just as much as the goals themselves? In this episode of Corporate Therapy, Lucy Paulise explores how to set meaningful goals with compassion in mind — without lowering the bar or burning yourself out in the process. You’ll learn why traditional goal-setting often creates pressure instead of progress, how self-compassion actually sustains ambition, and why choosing fewer goals supported by clear systems leads to more consistent momentum. Lucy shares a practical, compassionate approach to 2026 goal-setting, including why focusing on just one to three priorities — and designing systems around them — can help you stay engaged, adapt when things change, and keep going when motivation dips. ✨ In this episode, you’ll learn: Why internal pressure and perfectionism undermine motivation What self-compassion really means (and what it doesn’t) How to choose 1–3 meaningful goals without guilt Why systems matter more than willpower How to pursue ambition without burnout 🔗 Want to go deeper?You’ll find links in the episode description to: Lucy’s full articles on compassion and goal-setting https://www.forbes.com/sites/lucianapaulise/2025/12/30/why-compassion-is-the-key-to-setting-better-goals-for-2026/ Book a one-on-one coaching session if you want personalized support https://www.lucypaulise.com/ 🎙 About the host:Lucy Paulise is a career and executive coach, author of Timebox, and a Forbes contributor.

    #5 Burnout: How to Refocus When Everything Feels Important

    When everything feels important, focus disappears — and many high performers interpret that as failure. In this episode of Corporate Therapy, Lucy Paulise reframes burnout not as a problem to fix, but as a signal: a sign that your attention is spread too thin and it’s time to refocus on what truly matters. You’ll explore why this feeling shows up so often during the holidays, how carrying too many priorities at the same level drains energy, and a simple, practical framework — the 4Ds (Do Now, Do Later, Delegate, Delete) — to reduce noise and make clearer decisions without adding pressure. If you’re feeling stretched, scattered, or mentally tired, this episode offers a grounded way to reset — without doing more. 🤍 Book a coaching session https://www.lucypaulise.com/ 👉Read my related article on Forbes https://www.forbes.com/sites/lucianapaulise/2025/12/17/why-burnout-makes-prioritization-hard-and-how-to-fix-it-in-four-steps/ 🌎 This episode is also available in Spanish 🔜 Next episode: Imposter syndrome and how overload quietly turns into self-doubt

    (Versión en español) Burnout — Qué nos quiere decir y cómo reenfocarse

    En esta época del año, muchas personas sienten que el tiempo pesa más, que todo cuesta un poco más y que la energía no alcanza — incluso cuando no están haciendo más que de costumbre. En este episodio de Corporate Therapy, hablamos del burnout silencioso y de por qué, durante las fiestas, el cansancio suele aparecer no como colapso, sino como falta de foco, lentitud y sensación de estar “atrás”. Más que verlo como un problema, exploramos el mensaje positivo del burnout: una señal de que nuestra atención está dispersa y que es momento de reenfocar en lo que realmente importa. También comparto una herramienta práctica — las 4D (Hacer, Posponer, Delegar y Eliminar) — para ayudarte a tomar mejores decisiones, reducir ruido y recuperar claridad sin exigirte más. Si sentís que estás haciendo todo “bien” pero igual te sentís cansada o desbordada, este episodio es para vos. 👉 Otros artículos que te pueden interesar. 👉 La próxima semana continuamos esta conversación hablando del síndrome del impostor. 👉 Para apoyo personalizado, visitá https://www.lucypaulise.com/ y agendá una sesión de coaching. 👉 Mi libro Timebox en español https://www.amazon.com/Timebox-Estrategias-equilibrar-productividad-bienestar-ebook/dp/B0F5QPSX9B?
