CLARITY KICKSTART: May 27, 2013
“It’s not so much how busy you are, but why you are busy. The bee is praised, the mosquito is swatted.”
~ Mary O’Connor
Coaching Tip For The Week:
In the U.S., busyness has almost become a badge of honor. When you ask “How are you?”, how often do you hear about how busy your respondent is?
As O’Connor’s quote implies, there lies a big difference between “busyness” and “inspired action.”
One usually leaves us feeling overwhelmed and overtaxed; the other can similarly leave us tired – but with a sense of accomplishment, fulfillment, and purpose.
This week, focus on inspired activity instead of frenetic busyness. Designate your top 3 priorities each morning and move on those first.
You’ll relish the fact that even if the rest of your day goes haywire, you’ll have made progress on your top priorities – the things that matter most.
