Too many entrepreneurs confuse motion with momentum. We all know someone who repeatedly tells us how “busy” they are, when it’s hard to see what they get done. Momentum is moving things forward (mass x velocity). Founders or employees in constant motion, but with no momentum, will kill any startup.

Rob Adams points out that most people are afflicted with a mentality that drives them to produce tangible deliverables, irrespective of whether these contribute to the success of the business. Such "busy work" can deter people from tackling projects that may ultimately be more impactful.

This really is something that you have to watch out for constantly. Working just to work is far easier (psychologically) than sitting down and making sure you are heading in the right direction.
