1315: The Silent Trap of a Productive Life
Manage episode 489997643 series 89543
In today’s episode, I’m sharing a powerful and uncomfortable truth: you can be incredibly productive and still be wildly ineffective. If you’ve ever felt like your days are full but your life feels stuck — this is for you.
I’m drawing inspiration from The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis — a book where the devil teaches his apprentice how to keep someone distracted from living a meaningful, intentional life. One of the strategies? Keep them trapped in their to-do list. Make them believe that daily logistics are real life — and never let them question it.
We’re talking about:
The danger of mistaking motion for progress
How the “secondary” quietly replaces the “primary”
Why the tasks that feel urgent often aren't important
How to reframe your days around what truly matters
This isn’t about doing less — it’s about making room for what’s real.
