"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...

If you burn the candle at both ends, don't set it down on your desk.

If you can convince yourself you are too busy then you too can make worse decisions.

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

1.     It's all in the way you hold your mind.

2.     You do not have to take the time required to make good decisions. It is your prerogative to make lousy decisions and nobody can take that right away from you.

3.     There's probably no better way to make lousy decisions than holding in your mind the thoughts, "I am too busy" and "I don't have time".

4.     If you put your mind to it you will find your mind will warm to the habit of "I am too busy" and "I don't have time". And soon, very soon, you will be able to make really lousy decisions.
