How do you get more done in a world that never stops pulling at your attention—without burning out? In this episode, we talk with Brie Chrisman, the founder and CEO of Boss Co Ops, who brings her background in operations, project management and Six Sigma expertise to share practical strategies for boosting productivity while keeping your sanity intact.
Brie explains why our brains get overwhelmed, what “executive dysfunction” really means and how small shifts in your day can have an outsized impact on your focus and energy.
She talks with The Ledger’s Tony Mecia about…
Why we’re all burned out: How hustle culture, family obligations and nonstop notifications drain your brainpower.
Executive function vs. dysfunction: What happens when your brain hits “decision fatigue.”
Time blocking and task batching: Grouping similar tasks to avoid constant mental gear-shifting.
The power of templates: Saving hours each year by streamlining repetitive tasks.
Pomodoro Technique: Using 25-minute work sprints to kickstart focus.
Tools that help (and don’t overwhelm): Picking the right project management system for your brain.
Weekly resets that work: Why Brie swears by writing down goals on paper and prioritizing the “big three” tasks.
Whether you’re juggling a demanding job, a family schedule, or both, this episode will give you actionable tools to reclaim your focus and make real progress on what matters most.
