10. Why You Feel Busy All Day but Get Nothing Done

You worked all day, answered emails, jumped between tasks, even stayed late…

But somehow, you end the day thinking:

“What did I actually get done?”

If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. You’re just surrounded by distractions.

In today’s episode of 𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝗛𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆, I will share 8 practical focus tools that will help you cut through the noise, reclaim your attention, and finally get meaningful work done - without burning out.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

  • How to use Focus Mode on your phone to protect your mental space
  • Why starting your day with your phone is sabotaging your mindset
  • The one playlist trick that trains your brain to get into deep work
  • A better way to structure your tasks so you actually finish things
  • How to use the Pomodoro technique (without giving up after day two)
  • And how to find your personal “focus window” — and protect it like gold

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, scattered, or constantly “busy” but not proud of what you accomplished — this episode is for you.

🎧 Press play and take the first step toward better focus and a calmer, more productive day.

I am an Italian Recruiter living in the Netherlands. I work for a recruitment agency in Amsterdam and I am the host of Get Hired Today, where I share job tips combined with some mindset tools for expats like me.

I’m not just a Recruiter, outside of work, I’m a normal guy who loves music, singing, baking healthy treats, travelling, and staying active through fitness. These things keep me balanced, especially when life gets hectic.

This podcast is not about being perfect, but it’s about growing together, step by step, through real conversations and some nice practical advice.
