Summary

Marissa Hyatt and Ken Freire are back in action for the new year! In this episode, they share their go-to strategy for reducing stress and achieving your goals with ease: the Daily Big 3. Learn how this simple yet effective system keeps you focused, eliminates overwhelm, and sets you up for success—all without burning out.

Key Takeaways

Consistency Builds Results. Big wins come from daily, intentional actions.
The Hidden Productivity Trap. One of the sneakiest obstacles to productivity? Your long task list.
Energy Matters More Than Time. Notice how you feel to decide what you’ll do—and when.
Aim for Manageable, Not Perfect. Don’t plan for an ideal day, because we live in an unideal world.
Embrace the Unideal. Even the best plans can derail when unexpected challenges arise—and that’s okay.
