Being busy isn’t a badge of honor. It's a trap. In this short but powerful Hard Reset episode, Kelly Siegel breaks down one of the biggest lies in our culture: that being busy equals being productive. Spoiler alert — it doesn’t. From jam-packed calendars to endless emails and fake progress, Kelly exposes the illusion of progress and gives you a practical reset to focus on what actually moves the needle: impact, not motion.
