TAKEAWAYS

• Busyness is often mistaken for productivity but usually leads to poor quality, low energy, and burnout.

• Time poverty—lacking time for what matters—is a widespread challenge among professionals.

• Overstuffed schedules and constant multitasking reduce effectiveness and increase mistakes.

• Email and communication overload are major distractions that hinder meaningful work.

• Chronic busyness contributes to loneliness, disengagement, and health issues.

• Leaders who model intentional time management set a healthier tone for their teams.

• Eliminating low-value tasks is essential to creating space for high-impact work.
