An idea that I have been thinking about has to do with busyness. Am I busy for the sake of being busy?

I often see people so busy, and I’ve used the excuse that I have to work on things. Yet, am I working towards a big tangible goal?

Recently, I’ve started an extensive to-do list strategy. I even began a separate list for critical tasks.

As I reflect, am I creating work to feel productive or moving towards bigger goals.

My goal is to scrutinize my critical tasks for clarity. Then, work towards to-do’s that move the needle.

Yet, fears say spend more time building the website instead of calling a potential client. I can easily use my time feeling productive rather than getting uncomfortable and taking action.

The key is working towards meaningful goals and not wasting time being productive.

How do you plan on your critical tasks?
