#48 Be Willing to Drop Perfectionism
I remember in a job interview, I told the interviewer that I was a perfectionist. I thought it was an admirable trait.
Do you strive for perfection in everything you do? Do you feel like failure is not an option and anything less than perfect is unacceptable? If so, then chances are you may be a perfectionist.
Perfectionism is often seen as desirable - after all, who wouldn't want to be perfect? However, the reality is that perfectionism can actually be a hindrance rather than a helpful tool.
Yes, having high standards drove me to stand out. But, it also drove me up a wall.
Turns out, when I let go of perfectionism, I made more progress towards my goals.
Tune into this weeks’ episode to hear about how dropping perfectionism might be the key to taking on your biggest challenge or goal.
What’s inside this episode…
How perfectionism can become a time waster
The magic you need to change your habits
The power of asking ourselves great questions

#46 Lessons Learned From One Year of Podcasting
Take a moment to think about the dreams, goals and hobbies that you haven't yet actualized.
Ask yourself, "Am I willing to be a beginner?"
No one wants to admit that they have no idea how to do something or that they need help understanding the basics.
Sadly, this prevents many from making the time to learn something new, for fear of slowing down their peers who are farther along in their journey.
It's natural to want to be an expert as quickly as possible (especially if you're in property management!)
But oftentimes, that resistance to imperfection can get in the way of creating new experiences for ourselves.
Join us in this week's episode as we celebrate anniversary of the Addicted to Busy podcast (and chat about what you'll need in order to try something you've never done before!)

Why humbleness is the key to creating new experiences

#45 How To Move Your Employees Through the Competence Ladder
It takes time and effort to teach your team new skills.
As a leader, it’s important to be patient with your employees as they learn new skills. Teaching is a process and it often requires trial and error (and lots of gritting your teeth!) before your employees catch on.
It can be frustrating to watch someone struggle through something that is second nature to you (ever witnessed a toddler try to tie their shoe when you're in a rush?).
But, allowing this frustration (both within yourself and within your employee) is the key to slowing down to teach... and teach them well.
Creating work-life balance will require you to create an amazing team. While you may not have officially signed on to be a "teacher," it is part of your job description.
Join us in this episode as we unpack how to help your teammates progress through the competence ladder.
What’s inside this episode…
The most important mindset shift you need in order to be an effective mentor
How to help your employees through the challenges of learning new skills
A simple tool to help you prepare to teach your employees about the emotional challenges they may encounter

#44 When You're Using Your Career As an Avoidance Tactic
Have you ever been told that you work too much?
Do you agree but aren't sure how to stop?
If so, it may be worth considering that you might be using your career as an avoidance tactic.
Sometimes, people who work a lot might be trying to avoid things in their personal life. They do not want to think about it or deal with it, so instead, they throw themselves into their work.
Avoidance tactics can manifest in various ways, from long hours of work to procrastination. However, this can escalate into self-sabotage.
Many high-achieving managers find themselves stuck in a cycle of working hard and sacrificing personal time at the expense of progress and development.
When I needed to feel good about myself, I turned to my job to provide me with the validation I lacked.
My dedication paid off as I excelled as a property manager, making it even easier for me to put in more hours when things got tough outside of the office.
▪️If I had an argument with my husband, I'd stay late at the office to avoid confronting him.
▪️If I felt inferior at a networking event, I'd just go get another designation or award to prove my worth.
▪️If I felt self-conscious about my appearance, I could blame all the hours I put in after the office closed.
My job made me feel good when my life didn't.
Eventually, I couldn't "out work" my self-esteem.
I had to take a good hard look in the mirror and start addressing what I saw.
𝑻𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒌 𝒈𝒐𝒐𝒅𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝑰 𝒅𝒊𝒅.
I started to heal my relationship with myself (and with my loved ones) and I no longer felt I needed to hide from conflict. As I did that, I started finding satisfaction in my personal goals and interests (instead of solely within my career). From there, my self-esteem skyrocketed and I started setting my sights on new goals (the Addicted to Busy podcast being one of them!).

Customer Reviews
Anna just gets it.
Anna is real in understanding the daily pressures and crazy scenarios that we deal with in property management. I refer all my team members to her podcast and encourage them to listen and use the techniques she offers to improve balance between work and home. If you’re not in property management, this podcast is still a great listen.
Just what I needed
I’m so glad to have found this podcast that is relatable to the industry of property management, but also shares valuable tools for a better life in general! Thank you Anna! “keep going” as you would say 😊
Everyone needs to listen!
Holy relatable! I’m a commercial insurance agent, wife, and mother to two young kids. So just call me “addicted to busy,” too! And while this podcast is geared toward property managers, I’ve taken so much from my listens. Anna discusses topics that are all too prevalent in today’s working world — perfectionism, burnout, and achieving the wildly sought after “work/life balance.” The truth bombs she drops — about how YOU, YOUR mind, and YOUR habits are keeping you stuck and the easy-to-implement steps to create a better tomorrow — will leave you feeling energized and hopeful. I’ll “keep going” Anna (I’m coining her signature sign-off) — keep the invaluable content coming!
