The False Hustle

The False Hustle

Let me ask you something.


How much of your workday last week was spent on:

?? Projects that matter to you

?? Collaborating with a team you like

?? Making progress towards your goals


Now, how much of your workweek was actually spent:

?? In meetings about meetings ??

?? Responding to Slack notifications

?? Catching up on emails


Here’s the hard truth: Busyness is not the same as progress.


If your week was packed, but you can’t point to real impact, something is off.


Work should be about building, creating, and solvingnot just reacting.


So, are you running the day, or is the day running you?

100% agreed. It's getting ridiculous lately.

Probably a bit of both, especially when you are being pulled in different directions.
