Tonya Dalton: The Joy of Missing Out Redefining Wealth with Patrice Washington
-
- Self-Improvement
Are you the type of person who goes to bed thinking, “I didn’t do enough today,” “I didn’t accomplish all the things I had on my to-do list and I feel awful about it”? Too often, this is how we end our day, and it’s how we wake up the next day.
But here’s the thing, feeling bad about yourself for not being as productive as you wanted to be doesn’t serve you. And it certainly isn’t going to boost your productivity because who’s going to be more productive when they feel like they’ve been bad?
In today’s episode, I sit down with Tonya Dalton, author of The Joy of Missing Out and founder of inkWELL Press Productivity Co., a company centered around productivity tools and training, to dive further into this topic of to-do lists and priorities and how most of the things we check off our lists just leave us feeling incomplete and unhappy.

The Joy of Missing Out Takeaways
So often we think life is meant to be endured, when truly it’s meant to be enjoyed. – Tonya Dalton
We’re so busy chasing busy that we don’t give ourselves a chance to inhale so that we can exhale. – Tonya Dalton
Give yourself permission to take back your power and choose what actually matters to you. – Patrice Washington
We’re so busy people pleasing that we put ourselves at the very bottom of our own people-pleasing list. – Tonya Dalton
We can’t shine our light on other people if our batteries always need recharging. – Tonya Dalton
Self-care is not about spa days and pedicures; it’s about filling up your soul, not your calendar. – Tonya Dalton
Quiet your soul – only then will you be able to see where God is pulling you. – Tonya Dalton
When it comes to living that go-go-go lifestyle, it’s easy to get caught up in the busyness of it and think that productivity should outweigh our happiness. But that’s just not true – your happiness is more important than checking off a bunch of meaningless tasks.
So I invite you to think about how you’re living each day. Are you checking off tasks that are truly important to you or are you checking off tasks and creating lists that are meaningless to your purpose?
