272: How to Stop the Disease of Busyness
Jaime Weisberg, also known as JJ, is a “human potentialist” who uses science, heart and passion to help others be their best. She’s on a mission to help others slow down and do things that bring them more happiness, joy and contentment all while being a mom, wife, family member and friend to many.
You’ll leave this conversation feeling as though you can make tiny tweaks to what you’re doing to achieve big changes in your life.
Side note: I lovingly call JJ my “Adult Best Friend.” (I have a childhood best friend and JJ is my adult best friend!)
During our wide-ranging conversation, we discussed:
What the disease of busyness is and how it’s played a role in her life
How JJ managed to work full-time with business trips, two kids and a husband and still run the 2016 NYC Marathon
Her motivation for running the NYC Marathon and what made it especially impactful
How she’s using the science of positive psychology to help everyone from Girl Scouts to sales reps to university administrators
Two major bad habits she stopped that helped her become a marathoner
The behavior changes she’s been able to make after getting a really nasty bout of the flu over the holiday season
Why she is a proponent of “uni-tasking”
How she’s applying her theme to the year
JJ’s coaching/advice on my 2020 Ta Da List — it reminds me of past guest Charlie Gilkey’s saying “It’s hard to read the label when you’re in the jar.”
