You aren’t too busy

Everyone is busy. Everyone I know has plans about what to do and when, be it, “I have to be at home and play video games then”, “I’m spending time with my kids on Saturday”, or “I’m meeting with potential clients Monday night”.

If you really want to do and help cause something though, you will find a way. You will juggle your time, get things done quicker, and show up.

If Bill Gates offered $1 million to everyone who shows up at your local town hall, you won’t be too busy for that, will you?

What matters is commitment. If you’re committed to having a project succeed, if you’re committed to causing the objectives, and if you’re committed to providing your services, you will find a way.

    Also noteworthy is that people have multiple commitments. The commitments are prioritized and accordingly the time is juggled over the different commitments. :-)

    So true, Ace! If I had all my commitments prioritized the same I’ll probably have no time to do anything, get very little done and not be satisfied at all with anything. :) Priorities and perspective are so important.

    as far as I could come up with,
    if you feel you are too busy, you have to refocus on what is really really important for you. Make a top ten list of what you want to do and than order them by priority again. The hardest part is the one where you have to cut down on social activities. You will say than I’m too busy, but what you are meaning to tell is ’sorry, meeting up with you is just not a top priority at the moment’. I’m not sure what people would like to hear more..

    Hey Sjors,

    I agree. When you feel busy or overwhelmed, one of the most important things you could do is just sit down and write down what needs to be done. When it’s tangible, and written on paper in front of you, it gives you focus and clarity.

    And you’re right, sometimes it means, unfortunately, that you have to miss out on social activities. Not fun, but it’s where your priorities lie.
