Being Busy is Costing You Money: How To Break Free from Busy Work

Mina Raver | BetterCEO.app Episode 14

Are you tired of feeling stuck in a cycle of endless busy work that doesn’t get you closer to your goals? In this episode, we’re breaking down how to escape the busy work trap and start making progress that truly matters. ADHD entrepreneurs, this one’s for you!


Key Takeaways:

  1. Being busy doesn’t equal being productive – Filling your day with tasks that feel productive but don’t align with your goals is a costly mistake. To make real progress, focus on high-impact activities that move the needle.
  2. Breaking the cycle starts with self-awareness and action – Reset your brain chemistry, seek outside perspective, and realign your projects with your goals to escape the trap of busy work.
  3. Prioritization and accountability are essential – Learn to say no to tasks that don’t serve your goals and track your progress to stay focused on meaningful work, avoiding the busy work trap for good.


It’s not about doing more—it’s about doing what matters most.
