Busy Is Not the Same as Useful

Busy is full hands.
Useful is a finished thing.

You can spend a whole day moving
and arrive nowhere that matters.

Motion feels like progress.
Often it's just avoidance with a calendar.

Ask at the end of the day:
what is true now that wasn't this morning?

If nothing, you were busy.
Not useful.
