The term “false hustle” originated in baseball and is still commonly used in sports.

For example, an outfielder that sprints from the dugout to right field gives the impression of hustling.

They aren’t putting the work in where it matters.

Think about all the work hours you put in and give a shot to determine what really got done.

Maybe you got to work early, only to blow your extra time browsing the internet.

Think about the moments you false hustle and turn them into real hustle.
