The Productivity Paradox of Overplanning
From Workplace Wellbeing with Fexingo: Mental Health, Stress, and Healthy Career Habits · 9:14
Show by Fexingo
We often treat planning as the antidote to stress, but new research suggests that excessive scheduling can actually increase cognitive load and reduce actual output. In this episode, we look at the concept of 'planning fallacy' and how over-optimizing your calendar creates a hidden tax on mental energy. We examine why the most effective professionals leave intentional blank space in their days, using the example of a mid-level manager who reclaimed productivity by deleting half her meetings.
