Your calendar is full. Your to-do list is packed. But are you moving forward, or just moving?
Busy is a disguise. It feels productive. It looks impressive. But it hides the truth.
I know because I’ve done it. I once spent an entire weekend reorganizing my Notion dashboard instead of preparing for a client meeting Monday morning. The dashboard looked perfect. The meeting did not.
And years earlier, in insurance sales, I burned whole evenings shuffling papers to avoid cold calls. Eventually, I had to stop circling and just dial. That one action moved the business more than weeks of “preparation.”
All motion, no momentum.
Audit your week. Draw the line. What actually moves the ball forward? Do that first, every day. The rest can fill the cracks.
The truth is simple: the task you resist most is usually the one that changes everything.
Stop mistaking activity for progress. Do the hard thing. Do it now.
So what hard thing are you still circling instead of swallowing?
