Would you want to learn time-management from a person who fails to arrive on time? 

Would you want to learn time-management from a person who does not deliver on promises?

"I'm too busy." When you say that you inject yourself with a dose of stress.

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Your brain reacts when you say things like, "I'm too busy." and "I don't have time." When your brain hears you say things like that it, subconsciously, begins to work to help you out. Your brain knows time is a thing it cannot control. Your brain knows your body is a thing it can control. So, your brain works to control your body by providing it chemical and electrical changes to help it deal with the stress you are telling it you are under by saying things like, "I'm too busy." and "I don't have time." 

 

Self-stressing about time...now there's a destructive habit!

If you feel you don't have time - Listen to someone. See how slowly time moves?

Oh...I see...how silly of me...I should have known you are too busy to listen.

I should have noticed your inability to make eye contact, your looking over my shoulder, your interruptions...it all makes sense...you are too busy.

Leaders who cannot see their forest need a good pruning.

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Some leaders claim they do not have time to plan. Actually, they DO have enough time...they just struggle with how to use time. That is an infectious condition. It tends to spread from the leader to others in the organization. Soon, there's a not-enough-time epidemic throughout the workplace.

Aren’t you glad you work with people who are not too busy to learn how to improve at business?

It sure would be troublesome if everyone you worked with complained about being too busy...too busy to get things done on time, too busy to do things right, too busy to help, too busy to learn...
