207. A Sneaky Pattern That Creates More Work

In today’s episode, we’re diving into a surprising pattern that sneaks up on high performers: overworking because things feel too easy. 

Yep, you heard that right! 

We’re talking about how overachievers sometimes invent extra work or add complexity because their task load doesn’t feel hard enough to be valuable and satisfying. 

I’ll share examples of what this pattern might actually look like in real life, and we’ll unpack why you might feel drawn to make things harder than they need to be.
