You can work all day, check off every box, and still feel behind and it’s not because you’re lazy or unmotivated. It’s because effort doesn’t always equal progress. In this episode of Accountable, I unpack why ambitious, driven people often confuse motion with momentum and what to do when you feel like you’re constantly moving but not getting anywhere.

You’ll learn:
The difference between being busy and being productive
Why clarity, capacity, and commitment (the 3 Cs of my Momentum Method) determine your progress
How to use weekly reflection and tracking to get back on track fast
One powerful question to catch misaligned action before burnout hits

Your Accountable Action: Look at the actions you’ve taken this week. If you repeated them for 100 days, would they get you closer to your goal? If not, it’s time to realign.
