143: Is It Time to Let That Project Go?

February 08, 2023 • Dr. Nicole Byers

I am no stranger to taking on more than is possible to complete. I have big goals for myself and a passion for learning! Which means that I love taking on projects.

But sometimes, my to-do list tasks feel like a chore to get through and I feel stretched for time. Does any of this sound familiar?

In this episode, I’ll introduce you to the Productivity Formula. This is something I use to help me make tough decisions on how to spend my time and energy.
