The Real Reason You're Always feel Busy (and What To Do About It)


Hi reader

Today I going to share some important thing we always feel same but it's not. We’ve all been there: You’re sitting at your desk, trying to get something done, but instead you keep getting distracted by emails, phone calls, and other urgent tasks. You know you have a lot to do, but instead of working on the stuff that’s most important, you keep jumping from one thing to the next. Sound familiar? If so, you’re not alone.

Society Ideology:

We live in a fast-paced society. There is never enough time in the day. And we see and feel it all around us every day. We live in a society that values effort, success, and busyness. And there is a real benefit to this; there is actual value. We are pushed and motivated toward accomplishment, activity, and invention. That's fantastic, but there's a catch. That is something I believe is worth discussing. You've always felt busy. You're always running from one place to the next, and it feels like you never have enough time to do everything that needs to be done. The truth is, though, that you've been operating on a few false assumptions that have been keeping you from being truly productive. This article is an attempt to bust those assumptions, so that you can finally be the productive person you were meant to be.

Corporate Life

The Management Research Group conducted a survey on 10,000 top leaders a few years ago. "What is critical to your organization's success?" they questioned. And long-term strategic thinking was mentioned by 97 percent of respondents. When was the last time 97 percent of people agreed on something? There is near-universal agreement that being a long-term thinker with perspective, as well as the ability to ponder and ask big questions, is critical to our success. Despite this, 96 percent of executives polled in a separate research indicated they don't have time for strategic thinking. What exactly is going on? Why is it that 96% of individuals aren't doing the one thing they think is most important to their success? So, I believe we have the answer, or at least we believe we have. A typical professional attends 62 meetings every month. That appears to be somewhat absurd. How is that possible? But when you break it down, it's not that many. Two to three meetings every day is probably the norm for many of you.

So there are 62 meetings every month. That does not help, and it is not incorrect. It makes a contribution. We also know — we know what else... email. According to a McKinsey research from a few years ago, the average professional spends 28 percent of their time just replying to email. Of course, that exhausts us and keeps us occupied. However, that is not, in my opinion, the entire picture. That is a manifestation. Those are valid issues. But there are also other things going on beneath the surface, reasons why we may be operating at cross-purposes in certain instances. Because for so long, virtually all of us have stated we urgently want to be less busy, yet we keep making decisions that keep us just as busy as we've always been.

Society Status

What exactly is going on? Some Columbia University study, however, throws some insight on this. Silvia Bellezza and her colleagues conducted fascinating study on the fact that in some cultures, most notably American culture, activity is a sort of prestige. When we remark, "Oh, I'm so crazily busy," we're really stating a societally acceptable version of "I'm so important—"I'm so popular!" "I'm in high demand!" And the reality is that emotion might be difficult to let go of... even if we claim we want to. Of course, that is not the only reason. It turns out that dealing with uncertainty is quite difficult for the human intellect. And there's a lot of it in modern life.

Sometimes we are assigned projects or difficulties that we just do not know how to do tactically. "Sales should be increased by 30%." So, how exactly? There are several approaches you might take. You have no idea how. To be honest, it's often simpler to just double down and keep doing what you're already doing. That may not be the perfect solution, but it is one that removes confusion. The situation becomes much worse when we discuss existential problems; when we discuss hard topics that we may not want to discuss. That may be, "Am I doing the correct job?" It may be, "Am I in the correct job?" Those are frequently questions that, to be honest, we may not want to know the answer to. So we get busy in order to avoid having to ask the question.

Not Controlling Our Emotion

Now, there's a third reason, and I'll admit it's one I'm all too familiar with: we sometimes use activity to shut ourselves out. That has happened to me. Gideon is my friend son, and he died in 2013. I'd known him for 17 years and considered him to be my best friend. And, to be honest, once he died, I didn't want to go home because I knew he wouldn't be there. So for two years, my existence was just an Uber to an airport, a hotel, and back, because I simply didn't want to confront it. There are some things that many of us do not want to confront.

What we're truly seeking for with employment is an anaesthetic. And, as I like to say, work is better than drugs, so if you have to choose...not it's the worst. However, it is not a long-term solution. Many of us get stuck in a cycle of busyness and overwork. It's often difficult to recall what life was like before. This is often what comes to mind when we think about activity. We imagine victorious achievement and having the world at your fingertips. The fact is that activity frequently looks like this. It appears to be lonely. It appears to be anger. It appears to be a life over which you have little control.

Conclusion

So I'd want to suggest that we make a change. Because, in order to successfully combat busyness once and for all, we must first be serious and understand what is truly behind some of the bustle that fills our days. We must be completely honest about what motivates us in order to make a different option. Because it is our decision. We must know that true freedom is about making room for ourselves to breathe and think. In the end, true freedom is about selecting how and with whom we choose to spend our time.

Big Secret of Leadership

Photo by Daria Shevtsova from Pexels When I don't want to do one thing and I don't like doing it, but when they ask me to do it. Then if I do it, then that is called flexible. If you refuse to do it, What is the meaning of it? Simple, you are not flexible. If you are not flexible, then you don't have the eligibility to be a leader. Just take this message. It's is strong message to all of us. If I am allowed to work only till 7 pm, and then I can't work after it, and I feel tired, so I can't do.

Then you are a leader.  I am not saying you need to work daily extra hours, but work extra when it required. remember, you are not doing for other, you are doing for yourselves. Here, " Flexibility and Domination are both the same". Again I saying "Domination and being flexible are thee same. Yes both are sam...
