Round and round he goes, hustling in place. A determined entrepreneur has traded his standing desk for a human-sized hamster wheel parked in the center of the office.
Each frantic step he takes turns the wheel plastered with productivity hacks: “5am Workout,” “Inbox Zero,” “Meditate 10 Minutes,” “Hustle Harder.” A motivational poster on the wall blares “Grind, Grind, Grind!” as if cheering him on.
He’s chasing a golden carrot dangling ahead – a prize labeled “10× Success” that always remains one sprint away. Colleagues glance over from their desks, unsure whether to applaud his dedication or hand him a water bottle.
The wheel spins endlessly, generating lots of motion but no forward movement.
