How ChatGPT stole my Monday

I hate to admit how many hours I’ve burned on “productive” things that weren’t actually building my business.
Asking ChatGPT to brainstorm “just one more” headline… then another.
Perfecting one Instagram caption for 45 minutes.
Rewriting my to-do list… then re-color-coding the calendar it lived on.
By 5pm, I was drained.
But my business was in the same exact place it was that morning.
It all looked like work. But it was motion… not action.
Motion feels productive:
Researching for hours (yes, even in ChatGPT)
Reworking your website fonts for the 5th time
Organizing files and calendars
Action is productive:
Talking to customers
Selling your offer
Shipping something real
One looks like progress. The other actually creates it.
Motion is a treadmill. Action is a road.
One keeps you spinning. The other actually takes you somewhere.
And if you’ve been stuck in motion, it means you just don’t have filters yet. (Don't worry, I got you!)
Because being busy is easy. Being intentional takes courage.
Quick gut check:
Think back on yesterday. Was it motion or action?
