In this episode of Success Genius, I explore a truth that many entrepreneurs overlook: productivity isn’t just about planning—it’s about how you feel about your time.

We’ll unpack the neuroscience behind emotional time management, why your brain might be predicting failure before the day even begins, and how to shift from overwhelm to clarity using tools like the “done yardstick” and body budgeting.
