"Busy but stuck" problem decision

Hi all — I’ve been struggling with that “busy but stuck” feeling for a while, and I know a lot of people here have been too.I was working all day, tweaking systems and tools, but revenue wasn’t really moving.

I spent some time working through this last week, and here’s a simple way I fixed it using AI for less than $10/month:

Write down every task you plan to work on this week in one place (doc, Notion, sheet — doesn’t matter).
Run each task through a simple rule: can this realistically impact revenue in the next 7 days?If not, it gets deferred, automated, or deleted.
Use AI to handle the low-leverage stuff (drafts, reminders, follow-ups, notes), so your time is only spent on conversations, decisions, and closing.

The biggest change wasn’t that AI made me faster — it forced me to focus. Once I stopped working on things without real data or short-term impact, everything simplified.

If anything is unclear, let me know. Hope this helps 🙏
