    The Difference Between Being Busy and Being Productive

      You can spend all day doing things. And still finish feeling that nothing important moved. You answer messages, open emails, fix a small detail, start a task, stop, solve a small problem, run to another place. Your day gets full. Your head gets full. But the result stays empty.
