Essential: Why Busy Isn't Better

What if everything you believe about busyness and productivity is actually making you less effective and less happy?

In this short, powerful episode from our Essential Series, we revisit a standout moment from our conversation with award-winning journalist, speaker, and author Celeste Headlee, based on her bestselling book, Do Nothing: How to Break Away from Overworking, Overdoing, and Underliving.

Celeste opens up about her personal experience with burnout and reveals how our culture’s obsession with busyness is holding us back. She challenges the myth that more work equals more success, breaks down the flawed idea that time is money, and explains how multitasking is quietly making us less effective.

If you’ve ever felt guilty for slowing down, this episode is your reminder to rethink your relationship busyness and start making more space for rest, play, and what truly matters.
