There’s a socially accepted, even celebrated addiction sabotaging your long-term success.

We call it busyness - and it might be the most dangerous productivity drug in our culture today.

In this episode, we're doing an intervention.

Because if your default response to “How are you?” is “Busy”…
If you’re wearing your exhaustion like a badge of honor…
If you reach the end of your day unable to say what you actually accomplished…

You might be caught in the busyness trap.

In this episode, Jay Papasan revisits the cycle of busyness, explore why so many high-achievers fall victim to it, and offers practical strategies to break free.

In this episode, you’ll discover:
→ The Zeigarnik Effect – why your brain fixates on unfinished tasks and how that feeds your addiction to motion
→ The hidden dopamine loop of low-value task completion
→ The "Clear the Decks" strategy Gary Keller and Jay used to write The ONE Thing without interruption
→ How to use tools like the 411, buffer time, and daily reflection to stop reacting and start leading
→ Why giving yourself permission to pause might be the boldest move you make this year

Each strategy comes with real examples from Jay's executive coaching practice and personal breakthroughs - so you can see exactly how others have transformed constant motion into meaningful momentum.

📍 This week's challenge:
Try a 48-hour busyness detox. For two consecutive workdays, check in a few times each day and document when you slip into the busyness cycle - no judgment, just awareness.

Because we shouldn’t be bragging about the number of hours we work.

We should be bragging about what we put into the hours we choose to work.
