Are you trapped in the cycle of overwork? Feeling exhausted and uninspired as you grind through a laundry list of tasks that never seems to get any smaller?

What if I told you the key to being more productive was working less?

Author and productivity expert Cal Newport claims that most of us can only manage a total of 4 deep, focused hours of work each day. After 4 hours, our ability to work effectively decreases along with our overall performance.

If this is true, why do so many of us feel the need to do 10-hour workdays?

Could we just be playing catch up with our own inefficiencies?

We’ve all heard of company mission statements, but have you ever considered writing a personal mission statement?

If you want to increase your ability to be present, perform at a high level, and build a strong sense of purpose, writing a personal mission statement is an essential first step in your journey.

If you want to feel, relate with others, and perform better then one of the easiest things you can do is to adopt a more grateful attitude.

But if you’re highly ambitious and have your sights set on big goals, taking time out to be grateful for things the way they are might seem counterproductive. Even scary!

You might think that if you’re grateful for what you have, you won’t want to make anything better, and give up on all your goals and aspirations. While viewed through a certain lens this may make some sense, in reality, it is simply not the case! It is very possible, and indeed very useful, to inwardly accept and be grateful for things the way that they are, while outwardly working to make things better.

The terms Burnout and Information Overload have become synonymous with the demands of the modern-day, post-pandemic workplace.

Of course, this is a conundrum. The same workplace that’s making so many of us feel drained and uninspired also requires us to bring our A-game to get ahead.

It begs the question:

How can we meet the demands of the times we’re living in if we’re operating at a fraction of what we’re capable of?
