"Busyness is the great affliction of modern business. Busyness is not about getting the right things done. It's about doing things. Lots of things. Probably too many things. Busyness makes profligate use of your two least replenishable resources - time and energy - and provides a return that in the investment world, would be grounds for firing your broker. Yet in the absence of a sound investment strategy, busyness happens by default."
"Making Your Work Work for You", Fortune, March 20, 2006, p. 62.
Lack of focus. Lack of purpose. In the absence of a strategy busyness happens by default. We need a strategy for our personal priorities. Otherwise, our two least replenishable resources will be wasted. What is your purpose?
The Master said, "Martha, dear Martha, you're fussing far too much and getting yourself worked up over nothing. One thing only is essential, and Mary has chosen it--it's the main course, and won't be taken from her."
Luke 10: 41-42 (The Message)
