Busyness is Ruining Your Life. 3 Life-Changing Hacks to Break Free with Peggy Sullivan The Optimized Workplace

    • Management

Do you ever find yourself trapped in the endless cycle of busyness, feeling like you have nowhere to go? You’re not alone. Many of us wear our busyness like a badge of honor–the busier you are, the better, we’re led to believe.
However, recent studies show that this state of constant busyness actually sabotages human potential. Working more hours doesn’t equate to productivity. Most of the time, busyness leads to burnout. And our guest understands this all too well, having even written a book about it.
Joining us today is Peggy Sullivan, a corporate performance expert and the author of Beyond Busyness: How to Achieve More by Doing Less. Peggy is on a mission to challenge the glorification of busyness, sharing her three-step busy-busting method to achieve peak performance, self-care, and happiness without compromising one for the other.
We’ll explore Peggy’s busy-busting methods, including strategies like the power of subtraction in our daily tasks and the joy and necessity of creating happiness rituals. 
So, are you ready to challenge the busyness culture and win back your time, energy, and life?
