The Thinking Behind The Tweet

I'm too busy to be present. I'm busy agonizing over the past, I'm busy worrying about the future, and...I'm busy looking over your shoulder to see if there are more important people I would like to talk to.

I'm too busy! - I don't have time! | Thought Tweets

Our lives are lived in little steps.

by Rick Baker

Our lives are lived in little steps.

We think little thoughts. Some catch on and grow. Some become habits in our minds. Some grow to the point of overpowering us. Little steps of thought habits fill much of our conscious time.

We do little actions. Some are repeated and become habits. Then we repeat them, acting them out over and over again. Little behavioural habits fill much of our conscious time.

Everything we think about or generate externally starts out small.

We want much. We want to generate more. We want to do bold things. We want to use talents. We want to leave legacies.

Regardless, everything we accomplish, good or bad or indifferent, happens in small steps performed in short periods of time.

Thought Tweet #969

Thought Tweet #969 If you feel you don't have time - Listen to someone. See how slowly time moves?


The Thinking Behind The Tweet

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.

Thought Tweet # 968 You don't have enough time. I guess you have less time than other more successful people.


The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Maybe you will have more time later...yes...that's it...you will catch up to successful people later.

[We must do our parts to stamp out "I'm too busy!" & "I don't have time!"]

Thought Tweet #967

Thought Tweet #967 Time management tip: file files. Their name lets us know what we are supposed to do with them.

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Well...that is why they call them files isn't it?

I mean - those things don't have that name because of some other qualities...shouldn't we do our part to help them live up to their name yet not be confused with their less-flexible, more-abrasive cousins?

Thought Tweet #956 Upon joining those people who regularly say "I don't have time" you too can make bad decisions.

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

...and you too can delegate poorly.

...and you too can miss Opportunities as they, most definitely, pass you by.
