If you’re too busy, you’re doing it wrong:

Sign of being too busy: You don’t know what the most important question to solve is. Hint: If you don’t know what the most important question is… Good news: You’ve just found that question. “What is the most important question to solve right now?” If I’m too busy to spend 20 minutes thinking about what the most important thing to do is that day: I should probably spend an hour instead. – @george__mack

This little tip hit me like truck.

Truth is… most days, I do not know the answer to that question.

What is the most important fking question to solve right now?

I don’t know! Wow.

That explains why I struggled. Maybe I should spend time at the end of every day thinking about what’s the most important thing to do the next day. Do that I can do it instead of doing something that doesn’t move the needle on my goals and dreams. You can compound your progress by 1% the positive way, or 1% compounding the negative way. Not know leads to compounding negatively.

And most importantly, anytime I find myself being too busy, it’s s sure sign I’m doing something wrong.

Sure sign. Remember that.
