Busy Is Not The Same As Effective

Monday Momentum by Kuri Kitawal

Being busy feels productive.
It is rarely effective.

Meetings multiply.
Tasks stack up.
Energy drains.

Yet very little improves.

Effectiveness is quieter.
Clear priorities.
Simple systems.
Decisions that remove friction instead of adding it.

Progress feels calm.
Chaos feels busy.

Which one are you confusing for momentum?

If you want clarity without noise, I am close by.
