Escaping the Busywork Trap

Yes You

Let’s talk about busywork — you know the kind. The endless to-do lists, the back-to-back tasks that keep you occupied but don’t actually get you anywhere. It fills your space without giving you much back. The ride isn't fun any more, but how do you get off?

In today's episode, we're looking at the difference between busywork and valuable work — the kind that genuinely matters to you, your business, your life. We’ll explore how to recognise when you’re caught in the loop of filling time, why doing more doesn’t always mean getting more done, and how you can start shifting into work that actually moves the needle.

If you’re craving clarity, breathing room, and a way of working that brings you more satisfaction and more space, this one’s for you.
