The New Stupid Called BUSY by samest

Here comes another discovery about our day to day activities and one of our pronouncement which many has build wall around hmmm I AM BUSY

PicsArt: Busy by samest

Let me start by saying, we all are too busy and I agree with this statement with no doubt in my heart and I appreciate the introduction of smartphones and internet which make everybody available at all times.

From my study and I sound to be corrected, many who constantly mentioned that the statement I am busy are in fact the least effective ones. This claim in some individual mind position them in the hierarchy of effective and successful people but being very busy is not an indicator of being successful or probably effective. My engagement at my workplace makes me believe some people like to tell everyone how busy they are so that nobody asks them to take up another task. In another way, some people want their colleague to see them as an important worker so they form busy. I push this to you; *if you also feel very busy or tell around that you are too busy, you probably cannot manage your time properly.

See this keynote that helps you and clear that statement of I am busy;

• Learn to say no to some task

---

Dividing your energy on every task reduce your effectiveness and even your success rate. A man has more on his plate than he can consume still accepting another task in other to please his boss. It is high time we learn to say no to some task so as to put all energy into one and finish it off successfully.

• Prioritize ( First Thing First)

---

Wasting time with the unnecessary task of being the habit for so many due to the understanding of what comes first. Until you have this in your mind that you can't do everything at once you will continue wasting your time on unnecessary task and at the end, the important tasks are still on your table not yet cleared.

• Avoid Distraction by Others

---

When you are on a particular task your total attention is of most important. In place of work, there some colleague that from the habit of disturbing especially when they don't really have more task attach to them, staying focused on a task and make sure you execute it or you can accept the distraction if it's your break time. I understand this, if you focus fully on your task, the time to execute it is always very minimal, so stay focus and enjoy your task to finish.

• Find Time for your Family and Friends

---

Do you know the value of loved ones? Here I am a little bit guilty because I place the high value on people around me than my family (biological family). O yes, I love to care for all but time schedule to go around see my family oh I find it difficult.
Busy with no time with our family this mindset should change. Creating time to refresh yourself and mind from time to time with your family and friends, not everything is about working.
Have you call your family today?

• Activate Enough Sleep and Create Breaks

---

OMG! I hit myself again hahaha..... This point is very important but looking at my schedule I knew already I'm shooting myself. I worked from 8 am - 6 pm and pick my mobile to start my online task after my office work... Sometimes my sleep is 2hrs or nothing for that day but I realized this is not a good habit.

This is the therapy I do use: I finished a task and I feel tired, immediately I activate the sleeping mood... I did not have set time to sleep. Remember this notion, if you did not get enough sleep or you feel tired in your body your efficient at work for that day will drop. When your body demand sleep activate it if the body did not demand to create it.
Another way to help your body is by the creation of break time. Here you refresh your mind, look for something off your task and schedule like games to refresh your body system, in doing this you will stay more driven and in the end, your task will be completed faster.

In conclusion, Com Mirza says, Run people through filters to separate the serious from the curious. Never accept all task to please who is given that task to you, rather concentrate on the task you are given and put all your energy into achieving the deliverable.

Your comments are important to me drop them and let's grow together
