a bad busy day looks like this
You open your laptop. You have one important thing to get done.
Then a last-minute meeting lands in your calendar. Then another. Your inbox is flooded. Your work chat is on fire. Everything is important, everything is a priority, and that one thing is pushed to the bottom of the list.
Bad busy work burns energy, focus, and time. That’s why what (and who) you love doesn’t make the list. It feels like 24 hours will never be enough.
I call this The OOO Cycle: Overwhelmed. Overcommitted. Overworked.

I call this The OOO Cycle: Overwhelmed. Overcommitted. Overworked.
The worst decision is to aim to do more and faster. A smarter decision is to choose what’s a must-do now, what can wait, and what shouldn't be done at all.
That’s Good Busy. Master it and 24 hours will finally be enough.

Nothing gets done without being busy. But Good Busy is a skill.
I aimed to do more and faster until burnout (with scary episodes of vision loss) showed me that up to 60% of work isn’t a must-do: unnecessary meetings, emails, and more bad busy work.
Ten years training to become a tennis pro taught me there’s no performance without well-being. When I finally brought this mindset to the office, I realized that productivity is a game of decisions. And better decisions start with better questions (not better tech).
Mastering Good Busy, I freed up 30% of my time for my favorite books, yoga classes, and hikes with friends. My team exceeded targets by 84%. All while covering a 13-month maternity leave.
Good Busy is a skill that produces results you (and your teams) are proud of and time for what (and who) you love after work.
In the last 4 years, I’ve taught The Good Busy to leaders from Tetra Pak, Vodafone, Bosch, and more. Every year, I guest lecture at Singapore University of Social Sciences.

I asked ChatGPT if AI can solve The OOO Cycle. It said no.
AI can speed up work. But what if it’s bad busy work? AI can’t decide what’s a must-do and what’s not worth doing. That’s the skill of Good Busy.
