Better Than Busy

Escape the busy trap with weekly tools & workflows.

August 14, 2025 I’m tired of being “busy” so I built Better Than Busy

For years I wore “busy” like a badge of honor.
Packed calendars. Back-to-back meetings. Doing ten things at once.

It felt like progress but in reality I was just spinning my wheels.

The turning point was realizing that most of my work could either be:

  • Done faster with the right tool

  • Automated completely

  • Or was not worth doing at all

The problem is, nobody teaches us how to work smarter.
We just inherit bad habits from our workplaces and think it is normal.

So I started Better Than Busy, a free weekly newsletter where I share practical tools, automations, and workflows that actually save time.
No fluff, no 50-step productivity frameworks, just the best ways I have found to escape the busy trap.

I started Better Than Busy because I was tired of wasting hours on work that didn’t matter. Most people aren’t inefficient because they’re lazy, they just don’t know the better tools and smarter workflows that exist.
