Listen "1249 | Actively Doing Nothing "
Episode Synopsis
What does it really mean to do nothing? In this episode of Behavior Gap Radio, Carl shares a personal story about an intervention from a close friend who insisted he take a week to do nothing—no work, no frantic activity, just stillness. But how do you do nothing? And why does it feel so hard? Carl explores the tension between productivity and presence, the challenge of stepping away from the constant drive to create, and why intentionally doing nothing might just be the ultimate productivity hack.Want more from Carl?
