9. STAYING TOO BUSY. I’ve too often made the mistake of
assuming that since I’m busy I’m adding
value.
It’s very possible to be
constantly busy and be completely ineffective. By the way, email can be
the biggest trap of all. If I wanted to, I could spend every hour of
every day processing email and getting absolutely nothing accomplished. It has been said, "never mistake motion for progress." Throughout the day we must stop and ourselves, "is what I’m doing adding value to others or helping me reach my destiny?" If so, keep doing what you’re doing. If not…well, you know what to do.
