Boredom for me is a very dangerous thing! During times of boredom I have said yes to opportunities I regret, made commitments I dread, and started and invested tons of money into hobbies that were only mildly interesting. And as a solo business owner I have spent hours upon hours on busy work that did nothing… and I mean nothing… to actually build my business. 

Just this morning I was feeling a little bored and rather than getting this podcast recorded as planned I found myself shifting my attention to a whole lot of other things that really have no value or purpose for what I am here to create. 

So today we are going to hop off the hamster wheel of busy-ness and focus our attention on doing things that actually drive success.

What I hope you take away from today's episode... 

  • How to recognize what is busy work versus what is actually being productive 
  • Learn to trust yourself to know when to refocus your time and energy 
  • Recognize that avoidance is keeping you from getting things done, and what avoidance feels like
  • One well documented decision can save you countless hours of busy work in the future 
  • The value of time limits on tasks and knowing what the "finish line" looks like 
  • Clearing up the clutter you've created will save you time, as well as protect your sanity and profits!
