281: 5 “Productivity Habits” That Actual...

Jess Massey
About this episode

Okay, Hustle Sanely Squad, hear me out — what if the productivity habits you *think* are helping you… are actually burning you out? 👀

In this episode, we’re unpacking 5 common habits that feel productive but are leaving you overwhelmed, distracted, and stuck in a cycle of doing more but getting less done. I’m sharing simple reframes and swaps to help you ditch burnout and work in a way that supports your goals and your peace.

In today’s episode, we chat about:

  • Why running to-do lists isn’t always the move
  • How skipping breaks is hurting your focus
  • Why clarity is one of the most underrated productivity tools
  • The truth about over-customizing your systems
  • How “starting with something easy” is stealing your best energy

This one’s packed with real talk, practical tips, and the mindset shifts you need to work from peace, not pressure 💛
