Why you should stop trying to be efficient
And how it can prevent burnout
I’ve never felt burnt out.
But I juggle a lot.
Full time job, creator business, side projects, time for loved ones, etc.
Is it really because I use my time efficiently?
Actually, it’s the opposite…
Psst: if you were part of my 30 day habit challenge, you’ll get tips like these every day as a motivation boost to stay consistent!

Content collaboration has never been this easy
Navigating the fast-paced agency world is always a hassle when it comes to efficiency and scaling. That’s why you need the right platform to speed up all your processes.
And Planable is the content collaboration tool that makes teamwork a breeze. You can create, plan, review, and approve all your clients’ content in one place: social media, blogs, newsletters, press releases, briefs — you name it! One workspace for each client.
Content marketing should be about creating impact, not getting lost in a labyrinth of tools, tabs, and spreadsheets. That’s why you can now explore your data at ease with our analytics features and create beautiful reports for your clients.
Because we love organized content. And so do you. More time, more clients.
Think about the last time you got a lot done
Were you doing multiple things at once?
Or were you in “flow state,” focusing on 1 thing that sufficiently engaged you?
After watching this video, I realized I have the most impact when I have laser sharp focus on high-level tasks.
High level vs low level tasks
Low level tasks should be optimized for efficiency
Low level tasks:
Doing laundry
Making breakfast
Washing dishes
I try to be “efficient” with these:
Listening to podcasts and audiobooks while doing chores
Completing manual admin work while in calls
High level tasks should have laser sharp focus
High level tasks:
Strategy / brainstorming for your work or business
Video filming and editing
Writing newsletter articles
I try to completely focus on these tasks.
But I combine low level and high level to prevent feeling overwhelmed
Low level
I listened to a YouTube video while making breakfast today.
I wrote my thoughts on the video in my notes while walking to the gym.
These are all tasks I “efficiently” combined with other tasks to save time.
High level
That YouTube video inspired today’s article.
And I felt inspired to make a YouTube video rant about it too.
High level task I focused on:
1 email newsletter article (15 min of work because I already had my “low level” notes/outline)
1 YouTube video (1 hour of work that would’ve taken me multiple days otherwise)
