If you feel constantly busy but not deeply fulfilled, this episode is for you.

In this Brave Moves episode, I break down the focus–productivity paradox and why staying busy often keeps us from doing the brave work that actually moves our lives forward. Productivity gets celebrated, but focus is the real architecture underneath a meaningful, intentional life.

I talk about why busyness is often a form of avoidance, how task-switching drains our mental clarity, and what it really takes to build a workflow that supports courage instead of burnout.

You’ll learn how to stop reacting to your to-do list and start designing your days with purpose, clarity, and impact.

In this episode, I cover:

• The difference between focus (the process) and productivity (the result)
• Why constant task-switching lowers creativity and decision-making power
• How attention residue quietly keeps you stuck
• The difference between deep work and shallow, distracting work
• Why saying “no” is one of the bravest productivity tools you have
• Practical focus strategies like time blocking, digital decluttering, and the 90/90/1 Rule
• How slow productivity protects you from burnout while increasing impact
• Why a “productive” day doesn’t always look busy

Your Brave Move:

Today, I challenge you to identify one task that keeps you busy but doesn’t move your life forward — and replace it with one brave, focused action you’ve been avoiding. Protect that time like it matters, because it does.

Productivity fills calendars.
Focus builds lives.
And brave moves turn intention into architecture.
