370. Your year for doing less and achieving more

370. Your year for doing less and achieving more

At the start of every year, I choose a theme - not just goals, but a guiding philosophy. For 2026, that theme is doing less and achieving more.

In this episode, we explore why focus beats busyness, why saying no creates better outcomes, and how choosing depth over overwhelm can actually lead to more success.

Our discussion includes:

  • Why a yearly theme is more powerful than traditional goals
  • The psychology of intrinsic motivation
  • The importance of focused vs. scattered effort
  • How to choose 1–2 true priorities for the year
  • The surprising psychology of rest
  • How to plan a year that feels intentional, not exhausting

Happy listening!
