The status of being busy become somehow a badge of honor: if you are not busy, you are not considered a hard working or important person. But busyness doesn’t make you more productive. The results from a recent study led by David Meyer from the University of Michigan, showed that switching what you are doing in the middle of a task increases the time it takes to finish both tasks by 25%.

1. You're Too Busy?
No, You're Not.
Here's Why:

2. When you weren’t able to finish a task or when you
forget to do something, the tempting word that comes
in your mind is “busy”. This is just a poor excuse
to not work out and it occurs in all facets of life.
BUSY

3. Being busy may sound like a lie, because it is all about priorities
and the way you manage everything. You need a better approach to
manage your tasks and your personal life, in order to maintain a balance
between both and this will offer you ample time for the things you really
wanted to do.

4. Being
busy is a
status
The status of being busy become somehow a badge of honor:
if you are not busy, you are not considered a hard working or important
person. But busyness doesn’t make you more productive. The results
from a recent study led by David Meyer from the University of Michigan,
showed that switching what you are doing in the middle of a task
increases the time it takes to finish both tasks by 25%.

5. Talk
about
priorities
Your human brain prevents you to concentrate on two things at once and
this means that it lacks the capacity to perform both tasks successfully.
Consequently, you have to put first some tasks and now you talk about
priorities. You may choose which task you perform first by the importance
you assign it, but at the end of the day, all the tasks must be finished, so
the most important is ending successfully your activities.

6. Schedule
everything
Organizing your activities makes you more productive and the tools that
can help you reaching your full potential are: the to do list and the
calendar. But these tools can be replaced with a single service: a
CRM application. Not only you can schedule your tasks, but
also you can have all your data in one place. Having an organized
schedule indicates the exact time and place of appointments, which leads
to more focus on the activities you develop.

7. Also, according to the researchers, you tend to hide behind the mask
of busyness and in fact, you only fear of failure and you
procrastinate your daily activities.
How are you keeping busy? You use our valuable time doing things
that aren’t necessary or important, but these make us feel productive.
For example, responding to emails which are not urgent, when in fact
you know you have a big project that you need to finish.
Try not to
procrastinate
