If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re the only one who keeps repeating the same productivity patterns (even when you know better), this episode is going to prove you are not alone. Today I’m sharing three mistakes I’ve learned the hard way, plus a bonus tip you've GOT to hear...even if it stings a little. These are real-life shifts that changed how I work, how I use my energy, and how I think about “work-life balance.”

If this resonates, you need to be at my free virtual workshop, Work-Life Balance for SLPs With ADHD, on Tuesday, December 16th at 8pm ET. Everything in today’s episode ties directly into what I’ll be teaching there. Replay available, but only if you register.

What You’ll Learn

• Why rushing isn’t actually helping you get more done—and how slowing down might be the productivity strategy you’ve been avoiding.
• How to stop going “all-in” on systems you don’t actually need, and what to do instead before you sink hours into the setup.
• Why being “caught up” is not the emotional fix you think it is, and the surprising mindset shift that frees you from the endless chase.
• The tough truth about the “finish line” of work-life balance—and why letting go of it is liberating, not depressing.

If This Resonates…
