In a world obsessed with hustle culture, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the never-ending to-do lists. In this episode, Whitney connects with Productivity Coach Lisa Zawrotny to explore a more intentional and compassionate approach to getting things done. Lisa shares how decluttering both physical and mental spaces can create ease, clarity and balance in daily life.

Rather than focusing on doing more, Lisa introduces a "to-choose" list—an empowering way to prioritize what truly matters. She also breaks down the Four D’s framework—Delete, Delegate, Delay and Do—to help listeners manage tasks with less stress and more intention.

If you’re tired of equating productivity with self-worth, this conversation is for you. Lisa shares actionable tips to shift from busyness to meaningful progress, create space for what matters and redefine success in a way that feels both fulfilling and freeing.

Here’s what you can look forward to in this episode:

• How Lisa’s philosophy differs from the more “typical” productivity models we see

• Decluttering the mental load

• Setting yourself up for success with your approach to your to-do list

• The 4 Ds of task management

• Balancing productivity and self-compassion

• A life-first approach to time and energy management

Reflection question to ponder: How do I feel about what I’m doing?
