Let's put an end to that "I'm too busy" mindset.

by Rick Baker
On Nov 7, 2013

"I don't have time."

"I'm too busy."

Many people say those things.

I say, "Successful people have more time".

And I say, "I'm too busy" is an extremely unhealthy way to be thinking and talking.

It's a troubled self-image crying out for help.

As Robin Sharma said in 'The Greatness Guide' (2007), "Your schedule doesn't lie". [Just check your schedule. It will confirm you are not too busy.]

Why is "I'm too busy" such a bad mindset?

It's a resignation. It's victim-speak, a victim crying out. It's a person out of control, problems on the verge of happening. It's a negative contagion. I'm-too-busy misery enjoys I'm-too-busy company. After someone says "I'm too busy"...then what happens? Not much because everybody's thinking and talking about nobody having any time.

That's a bunch of Hogwash!

It is not accurate thinking and it is not helpful in any way.

There's nothing good about "I'm too busy".

That's it. That's the problem with "I'm too busy": nothing good ever follows it. Whenever anyone says "I'm too busy" or "I don't have time" nothing good ever follows.

The life of a victim is an unpleasant one.

How to remove "I'm too busy" from your repertoire of excuses:

  1. Stop thinking it.
  2. Stop saying it.
  3. Stop listening to it.
  4. Stop accepting it.
