What Separates PRODUCTIVE Versus BUSY People

What Separates BUSY Versus PRODUCTIVE People

What Separates BUSY Versus PRODUCTIVE People?  Oh Oh, gazillion of charts are scattered across because comparisons between BUSY and PRODUCTIVE people can't just be avoided.  Now, this all boils down to TIME, it being the greatest commodity of all.  We just don't HAVE enough of it to accomplish our GOALS.  It is WHY I strongly believe that the difference between them comes down to two words:  SET BOUNDARIES💵💷💴

It's a HARD lesson for many [and that includes moi].  SETTING BOUNDARIES has taught me quite a plenty, like being able to walk away from things that DON'T serve me or my purpose.  In the shortest words, it is saying NO to things and to people more than saying YES [without even batting an eyelash].  Having said that, let's admit that it remains a 'TALL ORDER', easier said than done📗📙📘

Let's admit it, most ambitious people are driven by results and doing more, NOT less,  In fact, hard-driving entrepreneurs are typically relentless in their pursuit of capitalizing on every opportunity presented to them even if it means growing and expanding their 'domains' way and beyond their core activities.  BUT the question is, is it SUSTAINABLE✅✅✅

So WHAT separates BUSY people from PRODUCTIVE people?  Let's relive typical day-to-day scenarios.  We sit down to accomplish a specific task BUT the minutes and hours tick by.  Then we're interrupted and we realize we haven't made any progress?  We start the day invigorated and excited to accomplish all we have in front of us.  By end-of-day, you realize your TO-DO List remains unchecked❎❎❎

Maybe it's NOT even you or me but a work colleague, one you would think could be a 'high flyer' if he or she would put their mind to it BUT for whatever reason, they just CAN'T get out of the proverbial second gear, accomplish all that they probably could.  Our takeaway here is that among men and women, getting insufficient sleep was the negative habit most closely associated with "PRESENTEEISM", defined as the 'PROBLEM OF WORKERS' BEING ON THE JOB BUT BECAUSE of ILLNESS, NOT FULLY FUNCTIONING".  C'mon dude, let's cross that fence from being BUSY to being PRODUCTIVE❗❗❗
