Happy Thursday Y’all,

How many of you feel like you’re running 100mph engine at redline every single day, but feel like you barely inch forward on the progress bar? Working on your business day in and day out but can’t seem to get traction? Studying for days before a test but still can’t seem to pass? You might’ve fallen into the trap of The Busy Fool.

Now you’re probably wondering what the heck is a busy fool. The Busy Fool is like that one friend who spends hours organizing their Netflix watchlist but never actually watches anything. Sure, they're keeping themselves occupied, but they're not making any significant headway.

So, how do we avoid falling into the Busy Fool trap? It's simple: Prioritize! Just like a smart investor picks the best stocks for their portfolio, we have to choose the best tasks for ourselves as well. Ask yourself, "What tasks will make a real impact in my day?"

Start by figuring out what truly matters and focus on those tasks first. Should I waste 3 days picking a logo for my business or should I work on more boring things like pricing structure or market research? Should I spend five hours writing flash cards for vocabulary words, or should I go through and answer practice test questions in the book? These sound like stupid examples but it’s all true. Think about a moment in your life where you were in a similar situation, most of us (myself included) would be guilty of falling into the busy fool trap at one point or another. The next time you find yourself buried in a pile of tasks, pause and ask, "Am I being productive or just busy?"

Keep it real, and stay focused on what matters. You got this!

Weekly Challenge Accountability

Here's the challenge: Each day, take a few minutes to write down three things you're grateful for. It doesn’t matter if you write it on a sticky note, the back of an old receipt, your phone, etc. just write it somewhere. It could be/ as simple as a delicious meal, the beauty of nature, or the company of loved ones. The goal is to shift our focus towards the positive aspects of our lives and help us appreciate what we have.

My Results:

1. Had to go to the airport early this morning, the sunrise was breathtaking

2. Had a coffee on the beach while I was checking emails and the sound of the waves crashing back and forth was surreal

3. Had a normal gym day but still very appreciative of where I am.
