The Myth of Multitasking: Erin and Michael on Finding True Productivity
We only have so much time and attention and energy to give whatever we're going to give to in the course of A Day. And I think what happens a lot is we think that we feel we can feel more productive by doing a lot of things. But what happens is a lot of times we don't do as many things as well.
Feeling overwhelmed by your endless to-do list? You're not alone. In this episode of 'Middleish', hosts Erin Green and Michael Gray tackle the common misconception that doing it all leads to greater productivity. Instead, they argue that true productivity comes from setting priorities, managing expectations, and finding balance in your life. Erin, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and former professional triathlete, shares her journey from a life of strict regimens to one that embraces spontaneous movement and joy.
Michael, a personal trainer and nutritional coach, adds his insights on how to make meaningful trade-offs and focus on what truly matters. Together, they offer practical tips on scheduling, identifying the 'big rocks' in your day, and the importance of mindfulness and gratitude. This episode is a must-listen for anyone feeling the pressure to constantly be doing more but yearning for a more balanced, fulfilling life.
