🗞️ The Wellness Briefing – Edition No. 04: “The Myth of ‘Catching Up’” | July 22, 2025

Quick, high-impact wellness insights for ambitious professionals. Delivered Tuesdays.

Welcome Back to The Wellness Briefing

This week, we’re dismantling a lie that keeps high performers trapped: “I’ll catch up this weekend.” You won’t. And if you do, it’ll cost you more than you realize. Let’s talk about what it really means to reset without guilt.


Let’s begin.


Preview of this week’s newsletter:

✅ Try This: Schedule “white space” like it’s a board meeting. Block 90 minutes on your calendar this week with the title: “No Agenda.” Use it to rest, think, or just not react.

💡 Coaching Tip: Replace “I just need to get through this week” with “What’s one thing I can stop doing that no longer serves me?” Productivity without boundaries = burnout with a calendar invite.
