Productivity with Peace of Mind
Why You’re Busy All Day and Still Feel Behind
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if feeling behind has nothing to do with discipline and everything to do with alignment? In this episode of Productivity with Peace of Mind, I talk with Courtney Cecil, an Industrial and Systems Engineer, Head of Culture at a Fortune 50 company, and founder of the Working Moms Movement, about why so many capable people stay busy yet end the day exhausted and unsatisfied. We talk about how values shape priorities, how unintentional time use creates quiet burnout, and why combining behavior change with simple process improvement leads to clarity, decisiveness, and peace of mind.
We talk about...
- Why being clear on values makes decisions faster and time management easier
- How the type of job you choose reflects what you value most, money, flexibility, or purpose
- The real reason busy days still feel unproductive
- What “doing it all” actually means, and what letting go looks like in real life
- How societal pressure and perfectionism quietly drain time and energy
- Simple repeatable processes that reduce decision fatigue
- How to mentally turn off at night, even when the list is not finished
Courtney also shares her free Top Ten Time Wasters guide, which breaks down the obvious and not-so-obvious ways time disappears and helps you reclaim focus without doing more. https://www.workingmomsmovement.com/time-wasters
