Persistence on employment can have a damaging effect on our ability to focus on the present and our self-care. For many of us, it is difficult to find the time to walk or eat properly, or to consider self-sufficiency as part of our daily routine, such as exercise, sleep, eating, exercise and sleep.
In the opening scene of the series, we are thrown into the reality we face as adults: there is too much to do, from raising a family to hanging out with friends. In this episode she talks about how she feels exhausted when the time comes and that she does not take time to fit in her busy life in a healthy way.
"Just too busy" is a recurring answer, but you should consider whether it is possible to get upset over a long period of time. Maybe you are actually going through a transient phase, working on an exciting, all-consuming project. If that is the case, and that is a blessing for you, then the problem is that you do not take the time to consider the alternative because you numb your mind with work.
To do this, you simply have to change your way of thinking and speaking, and, based on the research to date, you will also have to do less.
Avoiding the pressure to insist that you are busy all the time will make you feel less busy. As the American study of time use shows, we are not nearly as busy as we think, and the temptation to watch TV, check emails while you are at dinner, or watch webinars while we work is so widespread that research shows that we have plenty of free time in our lives. If you frequently check how you spend your time, you will not find yourself overly busy at work.
If you feel that you are often out of control, it is time to take a step back and think about how you spend your time. To help you with this, here are some tips on how you can try to stop the madness and prevent you from being too busy at work.
Do you know what it's like to struggle with your workload and feel overwhelmed and disorganized? That's why we launched the online Time Management Management Course # for managers to help you focus on the essentials, feel better organized and get the important work done. The course is self-contained and includes a number of tools and techniques to help you cope with workloads, improve productivity and stop being so busy.
As a productivity coach, I have met leaders and managers at all levels who have difficulty stopping and thinking. Doing many tasks without practice may feel more productive because it looks like you're moving forward, but stopping thinking as a compliment to what you're doing will lead to much better results.
I realise busy people have many priorities and productive people few, but it is a painful exercise. We feel pressured all day long, so we react by doing more and more, and we feel pressure to do everything.
When we are too busy and the day feels like a rush, it is easy to overlook the important things, such as when we wake up, what we do and what we do with ourselves. I use a tool like Toggl to figure out what I spend my time on every day so I can set priorities.
I always feel busy because I always seem to rush from one thing to another, and this insistence almost always leads to one of my most productive and difficult sessions.
Ultimately, busyness is just a way to distract yourself because you just don't have the resources. Some people even use it as an excuse to do easy-to-check tasks, which conveniently prevents you from getting involved in other, higher-level projects. Now that "bustle" is no longer the excuse, I have realized that I avoid these projects because they are just too scary, because I don't get enough guidance, or because my mind doesn't have enough time to think about them.
If you do not function well, you will cause many problems in your life, not only for yourself, but for everyone else around you.
Start by not letting yourself be overwhelmed by the attempt to integrate more into your already busy life, even if it is only a few hours a week. It will also recharge and motivate you to overcome the workplace challenges you face when you leave the office and even take a while to get used to technology.
