We've created a culture where being overwhelmed is somehow proof we're important, but this busy badge of honor is killing our businesses and our souls. Confusing activity with achievement leads to spinning our wheels without making meaningful progress.
• Busy work vs. business work: theatrical activities that look like work but don't create results
• The four costs of constant busyness: money, relationships, health, and your dreams
• How to audit your time: track what you're actually doing for three days
• Four categories of activities: important/urgent, important/not urgent, urgent/not important, neither
• Create a "stop doing list" instead of adding more to your to-do list
• Successful entrepreneurs protect their time, focus on outcomes not activities, and don't glorify exhaustion
• Rate your energy levels throughout the day to identify sustainable activities
Your homework is to audit your time and energy for three days. The goal isn't to be less busy—it's to be busy with things that actually matter. Take care of yourself and create your day in the best way possible.
