The ‘Busy’ Trap—You’re Doing Too Much and Achieving Too Little

Hey you beautiful overachiever you! You’re doing all the things, your to-do list is longer than your kid’s Christmas wish list, but… your bank account isn’t reflecting ALL that work. Sound familiar? 🤔

Here, we’re busting the myth that busy equals productive. Sadly, it doesn’t. I’ve lived that life,  working day and night, thinking that if I just worked harder, everything would fall into place. But guess what? Busy is an illusion. And if your time isn’t aligned with what actually moves the needle, your business (and life) will stay stuck.

✨ Here’s what we’re covering off today:

• How to spot the busy trap and ditch the “doing” addiction.
  
  
• The difference between busy work and money work (and why you should care).
  
  
• Why your laundry list of shoulds is keeping you broke and burned out.
  
  
• The 3-step formula to audit your daily tasks so you can delete, automate, and delegate like a pro.
  
  
• How to prioritize the work that actually grows your bank account (and do it first).
  
  

💡 Moxie Takeaway:
If you’re constantly saying, “I’m busy,” it’s a red flag. What you’re really saying is, “I don’t know what my priorities are.” Stop being busy and start being productive. Audit your daily list, focus on high-impact tasks first, and watch your time translate into real results.
