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.
How do you know when you’re too busy?
