The Power of ‘Doing Less’ to Accomplish More
I don’t know why but women across the western world was often taught that more is more: more hours, more meetings, more responsibilities, more hustle.
But what if the key to achieving your goals this year isn’t about adding, but about subtracting?
The truth is, doing less can actually help you accomplish more. When you focus on fewer, high-impact priorities and give yourself permission to rest and recharge, you unlock greater clarity, creativity, and productivity.
This approach, often called “essentialism” or “intentional leadership,” it’s about aligning your actions with what truly matters, so you can lead with both purpose and ease.
Why Doing Less, Works?
Focus Enhances Productivity
Multitasking is overrated, especially when you’re highly sensitive. Studies show that our brains perform better when we focus on one task at a time. By simplifying your to-do list and eliminating non-essential tasks, you free up mental bandwidth for what truly matters.
Rest Fuels Creativity
Overworking doesn’t just lead to burnout; it stifles creativity. Some of the best ideas come when you’re not actively working—think about those “aha!” moments in the shower or during a leisurely walk.
Clarity Improves Decision-Making
A cluttered schedule often leads to reactive decision-making. When you create space in your day, you allow yourself time to think, strategize, and make choices from a place of alignment, not urgency.
To help you embrace the power of doing less, I’ve created an exclusive 5-minute guided meditation called the Executive Reset. This meditation is designed to help you step back, center yourself, and reconnect with your inner calm—no matter how busy your day is.
