3 Reasons Why We’re Tired and Wired

In today's fast-paced world, it feels like we're constantly on, always connected, and perpetually busy. But despite all the tech designed to make life easier, why do we feel more stressed and tired than ever?

In this video, we're diving into "3 Reasons Why We’re Tired and Wired" and exploring the crucial skill of "catch and release" to help you regain focus and find peace amidst the chaos.

We'll uncover how we've lost our mental on-off switch, leaving countless "tabs" open in our minds and blurring the lines between work and leisure. Discover how this constant mental juggling leads to stress, procrastination, and a life lived in shades of grey.

Next, we'll expose how our addiction to checklists and the "tips and tricks rabbit hole" can actually prevent us from taking action. Are you constantly searching for the "secrets" to productivity, only to find yourself more overwhelmed? We'll discuss how trying to do it all, or conversely, running away from it all, keeps us from living a productive and peaceful life.

Finally, we'll introduce the powerful meta-skill of "catch and release." Learn how to mentally and physically engage deeply when it's time to focus, and then truly disengage and let go when it's time to rest. This isn't just about time management; it's about mastering your mental energy.
