We often confuse movement with progress. Busy work only keeps us busy. We become faster and more efficient at tasks—without asking if the work itself adds any value to the bottom line.
What if, before hiring a new role, we played a game: abolish the role entirely, restructure, and see if we can save cost—and even save ourselves the time of recruiting?
What if, before celebrating a project’s success, we revisited the business case and asked: was this project truly essential in the first place?
What if, before requesting more budget, we challenged ourselves to deliver less—but deliver work of far greater value that truly moves the company forward?
The truth is, it’s easy to take pride in staying busy. Real success comes from knowing what matters, cutting the noise, and making informed choices. Our success is defined by impact and not throughput.
