My Interview with Jobshark on Sustainable Productivity

Recently, I had the opportunity to share my thoughts in an interview with Jobshark on a topic that’s becoming more relevant than ever—toxic productivity. In today’s fast-paced, high-performance culture, many professionals feel the pressure to constantly do more, often at the expense of their well-being. But is relentless hustle really the key to long-term success?

In the interview, I discussed how overworking and unrealistic expectations can lead to burnout rather than productivity. True effectiveness isn’t about working more—it’s about working smarter, with intention and balance. This is especially crucial in high-stakes industries like tech, where professionals often equate long hours with commitment. But without sustainability, even the most driven individuals eventually hit a wall.

One of the key takeaways from our conversation was the importance of self-awareness. Understanding our own limits, knowing when to push forward, and when to step back, is a skill that can make all the difference. As a coach, I help clients redefine productivity—not as a measure of hours worked, but as the impact they create while maintaining a fulfilling, well-rounded life.
