In today’s episode, we’re diving into a surprising pattern that sneaks up on high performers: overworking because things feel too easy.

Yep, you heard that right!

We’re talking about how overachievers sometimes invent extra work or add complexity because their task load doesn’t feel hard enough to be valuable and satisfying.

I’ll share examples of what this pattern might actually look like in real life, and we’ll unpack why you might feel drawn to make things harder than they need to be.

If you’ve ever found yourself complicating tasks or feeling uneasy when work is a breeze, this episode is for you!

What you’ll learn from this episode:

Why you may resist things being easy, even if you want more ease. 8 (false) assumptions that make people overwork. How the “puritan work ethic” shows up in sneaky ways, even in non-work tasks. The surprising link between overworking and self worth. Real life examples of how this pattern shows up. Why you might want to ditch this pattern & how to do just that.
