Keeping Busy?

Posted by: Marcelle

Are You Keeping  Busy? It’s a test you know.  When asked this question, you are supposed to say yes, very busy.

And if in a group of people when asked this question, make sure you answer last so you can let them know that you are more busy than they are.  If they complain of answering 100 emails a day, you say that you have to answer 200 email a day. At least that is how we think we should be.

But which is better, “Doing Nothing” or “Being Busy Doing Nothing”?

If you are so busy that you don’t have time for what’s important in life, like friends, family, playing and smelling the roses, what are you really doing. There are times when we have to get busy to get things done, but there comes a time when we need to let up to recuperate or else we become inefficient and this will negatively affect our health.Take a good look at the card to the left and ask yourself if this is you.

One answer to the “Keeping Busy” approach to life is to take 20 minutes a day to mentally review what you are doing, and see if you are going in the right direction.  Don’t have time for the 20 minutes each day?  Then you need that time more than ever. Busy only works so far before it destroys your quality of life and the intended results that you are working so hard for.

So why don’t you share with the rest of us if you manage your “Busyness” and if you do, how do you do it? Tony
