Are you tired of feeling overwhelmed by the cycle of never-ending to-do lists? In this episode of the Get Organized at Work Podcast, we dive into why traditional to-do lists are failing you and how they’re keeping you stuck in a cycle of burnout and busywork. Discover the power of Leader Standard Work—a system I discovered around ten years ago that's helped myself as well as professionals on my team (and especially in healthcare) focus on strategic outcomes, align daily habits with big goals, and finally take control of their time. We’ll explore why this approach is superior to task-based lists and tackle common objections, like “I’ve tried it before, and it didn’t work” or “I just have too much work and I'm so busy." Plus, learn how to get started with Leader Standard Work today in a simple, sustainable way.
