Working on the wrong things
It's easy to be busy.
Easy to fill every moment of the day with things that need to be done.
It's extremely challenging to create a life where you constantly work on the right things -- the important stuff that isn't urgent.
You only find out what those things are when you slow down enough to step outside of yourself and your busy-ness. That is how strategy is uncovered.
What does this mean?
When you're overwhelmed, don't struggle to go faster, rather slow down, reflect & re-prioritize.
