Over the past decade, I've shared countless tips and tricks on how to get more done: the latest productivity apps, time management hacks, and methods to optimize every minute of your day. My goal was always to help you achieve more. But in hindsight, I realize I may have missed something crucial, and for that, I owe you an apology.

The Misconception of 'More'
In a world that glorifies busyness and constant achievement, it's easy to get caught up in the race to do more. I've been guilty of perpetuating this mindset, focusing on efficiency over purpose.

It's about aligning our actions with our values.

Over the last few years, I've started embracing purposeful productivity. This means before diving into any task, I'll be asking, "Why am I doing this? Does it align with my values and needs?" If the answer is unclear or doesn't serve a meaningful purpose, it's time to reconsider.

I invite you to reflect on your own tasks and commitments. Ask yourself:
- Why am I doing this?
- Does this task align with my values?
- Is there a better use of my time that would bring me more joy or fulfillment?
And if you're a working mom, consider ditching some of that "super practical" productivity advice you keep hearing about. This might be what you need:
