In this episode, I dive deep into what I call "looping thoughts", that overwhelming feeling of mental load creep where your to-do list seems like a never-ending cycle. Even as tasks move to the “done” column, the list keeps growing, feeding that stressful loop. I share how I manage it with structured task filtering and strategic use of tools like ChatGPT. I open my week by reviewing only the tasks due that week, then daily filter again to focus solely on what's due that day. I even voice-command my custom GPT (yes, shoutout to Nixie!) to prioritize my list based on revenue-generating goals and our company’s big vision.
Anthony joins me to unpack his own experience balancing multiple projects daily, and we compare notes on managing energy, not time. He emphasizes time-blocking and rhythm, particularly in sales. We also discuss the myth of multitasking, why it's a productivity killer, and how doing one task at a time, to completion, is the real game-changer.
We round out the convo by exploring how automation can support these strategies and why prioritizing energy, clarity, and strategic delegation is more effective than any time management hack out there.
