Episode notes
Busy ≠ Productive
- Working intensely but lacking measurable progress signals a 'multitasking brain' rather than true productivity.
- Busy work like inbox cleanup often masks lack of systems and leads to chronic inefficiency.

- Listen to chronic fatigue as a clear bodily signal of burnout rather than writing it off as normal tiredness.
- Address sleep, stress, and cortisol/adrenal health and reduce chronic stressors to break the fatigue cycle.
