In this episode of The Art of Reading the Room, Gerard shares a powerful story about what happens when your life becomes flooded with “priorities” — and how to tell the difference between what’s urgent and what’s truly important. From warehouse logistics to family life and personal burnout, this conversation breaks down how modern life tricks us into feeling productive while slowly draining our purpose.

Topics Covered:

1. Why most “priorities” are just noise in disguise
2. How to identify your glass ball — and why everything else can drop
3. Managing capacity like a logistics pro — even in your personal life
4. Digital vs. analog planning — the surprising productivity advantage of writing it down
5. What warehouse operations teach us about time, pressure, and triage
6. The myth of 24-hour productivity and the truth about your actual 17 waking hours
