Building my one-person business to $10M in revenue and sharing everything I learn along the way.
"I'm too busy" is the biggest lie in business. Here's what it usually means: "I don't manage my time well." Being busy is easy. Being productive is hard. Busy people: - Say yes to everything - Multitask constantly - Work long hours ...and complain about lack of time. Productive people are different: - Say no strategically - Focus on one task at a time - Work smarter (not longer) ...and create time for what matters I used to wear "busy" like a badge of honor. Then I realized that true success isn't about filling every minute. It's about making your minutes count. Want to shift from busy to productive?

Deep work increases productivity. Learning to be fully present at whatever you do, increases your chances of not only completing the task in lesser time, but having time for the tasks that you needed more time for.
Prioritising and managing time is the most important thing to manage day to day activities.
'Too busy' is the lie we tell when we’re afraid to take control.🧠💡
Be productive > Busy
"I’m too busy" is code for "I have no control." I know because I used to wear “busy” like a trophy. Non-stop calls. Back-to-back meetings. No boundaries. It felt important - until I realized I was just a broke CEO of my own time. Now? I say 'NO' more than I say yes. I control the clock, not the other way around. Busy is chaos. Productive is power.

It doesn't matter how fast you're running if you're running in the wrong direction.
We need to find those tasks that actually move the needle and focus on them.
A wealth man spent all day at work never had time for Friends Children Wife years later... His wife left him The children grew up and left him. His friends , well they were not longer considered friends. He fell sick No one knew He was alone Till his last breathe No matter how busy you are make time for those that matter.
Couldn’t agree more! Justin Welsh Productivity isn’t about doing more; it’s about doing what matters.

3hAs a Time Managekent coach I definitely say: don’t make a To Do List but make a MIT (Most Important Task) list, block the time and have deadline.
