EP 293: Stop "Should-ing" on Yourself: Reclaim Focus, Crush Comparison, and Take Control

Jumpstart With Jeff

We’ve all done it, scrolled through social media and thought, “I should be doing that by now.” Whether it’s comparing dental cases or life milestones, that toxic little word “should” can hijack your focus, erode your confidence, and leave you spinning in a cycle of procrastination and burnout.

In this episode of Jumpstart with Jeff, Dr. Jeff Buske breaks down how to escape the self-sabotaging trap of comparison and entitlement. You’ll learn why obsessing over where you “should” be is keeping you stuck, and how to break free by taking intentional, focused action. Drawing from Stephen Covey’s Time Matrix and decades of real-world experience, Dr. Buske offers a battle-tested framework to move from overwhelm to unstoppable momentum.

You’ll discover the four quadrants of productivity and how shifting your “non-urgent but important” goals into your high-priority zone can transform not just your dental practice, but every area of your life, from your body to your marriage to your purpose.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

Why social media “should-ing” is sabotaging your mindset

The difference between goals and targets, and why it matters

How the Time Matrix can help you reclaim your time and energy

The power of clarity: defining where you are and where you want to go

A framework to create harmony across body, being, balance, and business
