Slack messages and WhatsApp pings are buzzing with endless chatter. Somewhere along the way, being busy became a badge of honor. But here’s the truth I’ve learned over the years: being busy is not the same as being productive. Most of the time, it’s just noise. I’ve seen too many people mistake activity for output.
