Simple Online Business: Business Strategy for Moms

The Time Wasting Cycle


Listen Later

You know what’s actually wasting your time? Worrying about wasting time.

It’s a sneaky little trap. You tell yourself you need to be more efficient. You overanalyze every decision. You hesitate to take action unless you’re sure it’ll work. And before you know it? You’ve spent hours (or days… or months) thinking about what to do instead of just doing it. 

This is the time wasting cycle. And it’s sneaky—because it feels productive. But the only way to create real momentum in your business? Taking action, even when you’re not 100% sure it will work.

The time wasting cycle impacts business owners at every level—whether they’re just starting out or running a fully booked business. The fear of making the wrong move doesn’t go away as you grow… but learning how to move anyway is the skill that will change everything. So on this episode, we’re breaking down why this happens, and the small shifts that will get you out of this loop for good.

You will learn:

  • Why trying to avoid wasting time is actually the thing that’s wasting your time the most.
  • The question to ask yourself when you catch your brain demanding certainty before you take action.
  • How to tell the difference between “thinking through a decision” and “spiraling into overanalysis.”
  • The underdog mindset that helped me grow my business faster.
  • A fun visual from the San Antonio Spurs (yes, basketball wisdom!) that will completely change how you see consistency in your business.


So if you’ve been telling yourself, I don’t want to waste time on something that might not work—this episode is exactly what you need to hear. Hit play now!
