Episode Synopsis

Today, we unpack the curious habit we all share: creating our own overwhelm. From decision-making dramas to overcomplicating simple tasks, it’s something we’re all guilty of—yes, even you!Through relatable stories (including a dog park chat, Seth Godin's "yak shaving" metaphor, and Steph Clarke’s reflections), we explor how we often overthink, layer unnecessary complexities, and, in doing so, stall our progress.Som fun links:Steph Clarke's workSeth Godin's blog article; Don't Shave That Yak!Key takeaways for you to reflect on:Start with the big question: Do you really want to do this? Yes or no. Everything else flows from that clarity.Keep it simple: Instead of planning 10 steps ahead, ask, What’s the easiest way to take the next step?Ask better questions: Tim Ferriss’ mantra—“What would this look like if it was easy?”—is a refreshing one (when you're knee-deep in yak shaving)!Sign up for free for my best articles every week: Work Fame.Show notes for every episode at https://podcast.leannehughes.comP.S.
